The new CoH 2 can knock out NVIDIA Kepler cards

From another point of view, AMD cards with GCN architecture shred well.coh2

First German Computer Database examined the performance of the second member of the Company of Heroes series, followed shortly by the Russian GameGPU page came up with a similar article. We do not evaluate the measurements separately, as overall, similar results were obtained for both test series.

CoH 2 became a worthy sequel, and the new version was also quite a machine killer. For an acceptable speed on the AMD side, a Radeon HD 7870 doesn't hurt, the GeForce equivalent is now the GTX 670. While NVIDIA programmers are probably already working hard to increase speed with the drive, they're not in an easy position because GameGPU measurements according to the game, the need for VRAM is quite rough. The 2GB of video memory can run out in Full HD, and if you increase the number of pixels even further, 3GB is available.

In addition to the GPU, the developers also put a lot of effort on the CPU, so for the best speed we will definitely need a quad-core processor - think of a not-too-old Intel solution!

Based on the above, Company of Heroes 2 will definitely be able to assess the performance of your computer for a few more years, the only question is when to play with it.
