Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War

Dawn of War is a relatively new game which has already become widely popular among the fans of real-time strategies. NVIDIA’s SLI works well here, providing a performance gain from 30 to 50 percent. This helps the NVIDIA team to win this test from ATI’s RADEON X850 XT PE and X800 XT PE.

The multi-GPU mode yields excellent results in the “eye candy” mode, too, but only with the two GeForce 6800 Ultra. As for the cheaper SLI configuration (made of two GeForce 6600 GT cards), it is slower than the single GeForce 6800 Ultra, probably due to the same reason as in some earlier tests – the insufficient amount of the graphics memory.
