Stormrise

Stormrise, a beautiful DirectX 10 based real-time strategy, shows quite a different picture. AMD is beyond competition as the Radeon HD 4770 beats the GeForce GTX 275 that costs 2.5 times as much as it. Nvidia’s programming team must have yet been unable to optimize the driver for the new game. Hopefully, they will do that soon.

The leaders change again. Nvidia wins this test and only meets some competition from the Radeon HD 4770 CrossFireX. It is only in the high quality mode at 1920x1200 that we see the performance increase in neat steps.

The last game in today’s test session shows an increase of average frame rate depending on the price of the graphics cards but the Radeons are generally faster. CrossFireX works correctly in the new game in terms of both scalability and performance.
