Recalling
that our test PC was running at only 1,86GHz you
might think that Supreme Commander is a bad candidate
for our tests. We would generally agree, however
we used a simple trick to ensure it was only the
GPU that was getting stressed. We recorded a match
with no AI opponents, but filled with units of
all sorts. This ensured that the card was being
stressed as hard as possible without skewing the
score because of the intensive CPU calculations
required.

As
you can clearly see from the graphs, Supreme Commander
managed to choke the 8600GT to borderline choppy
performance. Keep in mind that except for AA every
single setting was maxed out though, so with some
minor tweaks here and there we managed to pass
the 30fps mark, which is what last gen cards can
only dream about. The game still looked great,
so you can be sure that we kept most of the settings
high.
