Win XP Results - Company of Heroes & F.E.A.R.

Moving on to real world benchmarking with Company of Heroes, we can see that it was very tight at the top. The Zotac and Palit cards were the faster of the bunch, but only by the smallest of margins. Unfortunately, the Matrix that ASUS sent us was the slowest amongst the four 9800 GT cards that we had. Clearly it needs a bit more work before it can fulfill its full potential and be ready for retail.

The situation, however, changed in F.E.A.R., where we can see that the Radeon HD 4850 was obviously the fastest. In fact, it was almost a good 15% - 20% faster than its closest competitor, the Zotac 9800 GT AMP! Edition. Here, we saw that even the Radeon HD 3870 putting up quite a fight, and it was almost as quick as its NVIDIA rivals right up until anti-aliasing was turned on.
