COMPANY OF HEROES PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS
Without a doubt, Company of Heroes is one of the most demanding real-time strategy games on the market, but that required horsepower pays off immensely as the game is absolutely goregous. The below settings were used for both cards at all three resolutions with the only thing changing being whether antialiasing was enabled or not.

The in-game performance test was used to benchmark and below are the results.
Company of Heroes Performance Test Results
Company of Heroes is absolutely unforgiving to the 8500 GT. Even at 1600x1200 with no antialiasing, the card couldn't average over 9 frames per second. The 8600 GT, on the other hand, ripped right through the game scoring impressive results even completely maxed out at 2560x1600 with antialiasing enabled.
