Performance in Strategy Games

Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour

In low resolutions this strategy game can’t run faster due to the CPU’s playing a bottleneck. The results differ in 1600x1200, however, where the GeForce 6600 GT is slightly slower than the RADEON 9800 XT because the latter profits by its 256-bit memory bus.

Turning on FSAA + anisotropic filtering doesn’t change the general picture: the RADEON 9800 XT is a leader in Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour.
