World in Conflict demo

The World in Conflict demo participates in Nvidia’s The Way It’s Meant to Be Played program and prefers Nvidia’s GeForce hardware. Anyway, even the results of the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX are far from ideal since the minimum of speed is as low as 14fps, so occasional slowdowns are unavoidable. This may be critical in the heat of a battle, so we can’t view this result as acceptable.

In the higher-quality modes we can see an effect from the double amount of graphics memory on board the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT 1GB (in comparison with the ordinary model) but each card from ATI, and the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB too, are very slow. Moreover, the latter card couldn’t pass the test at 1920x1200 issuing the same error as in the previous games.

Everything we said about the results of the test without antialiasing is true here as well. None of the single graphics cards can provide a really comfortable speed, so it’s hard to name a winner.
