Results - Company of Heroes & F.E.A.R
The performance of the cards here in Company of Heroes largely followed what we saw in 3DMark06. Since there was no AA enabled in our benchmark, the MSI existed in this narrow niche between the GeForce 8600 GTS and GT. All the scores also had the Radeon HD 2600 XT ahead of the MSI, again due to the higher clocks on the older card.
ATI cards performed better without AA in F.E.A.R, though the MSI was still slightly behind the Radeon HD 2600 XT. At least it matched the GeForce 8600 GTS at this setting. However, this situation lasted temporarily, as with AA on, the ATI cards fell behind the NVIDIA duo and the MSI was about a one frame per second slower than the Radeon HD 2600 XT. The frame rates we were getting for any of the mainstream cards here were not too positive, as even a resolution of 1280 x 1024 already looked like stretching these cards.
