Company of Heroes and Supreme Commander

Company of Heroes is a real-time strategy computer game developed by Relic Entertainment that was released on September 14, 2006. On May 29, 2007 Relic released a patch for Company of Heroes that supports DirectX 10 and we used the latest patch to test DirectX 10 game performance. Supreme Commander : Forged Alliance is a stand alone expansion for the real-time strategy game Supreme Commander and was developed by Gas Powered Games. It was released on November 6, 2007 to the United States.

Company of Heroes was a marginal win for Intel at low resolutions. Supreme Commander Forged Alliance features one of the hardest time demos I run. It involves 500 marching units along with two nuclear detonations and an ACU detonation resulting in single digit FPS at 1920x1200. Phenom II did well maintaining better minimum frames per second but was considerably more jittery at 1920x1200. On the opposite end it did incredibly well at the "cpu limited" 1280x1024 resolution resulting in a overall win.
