Introducing the New Phenom II 980 BE vs. Core i7-920 – value meets performance again
BattleForge
BattleForge is an online PC game developed by EA Phenomic and published by Electronic Arts. The full game was released in March 2009. BattleForge is a card-based RTS that revolves around acquiring and winning by means of micro-transactions for buying new cards. By May, 2009, BattleForge became a Play 4 Free game with fewer cards than the retail version.
BattleForge supports Directx 11 with full support for hardware tesselation. It is very impressive visually and quite demanding on any system. We test at 1920×1200, 2560×1600 and 5760×1080 resolutions using the BattleForge built-in benchmark with all of its settings completely maxed out and with 8xAA:
The Core i7-920 just edges the Phenom II X4 980 BE at lower resolutions but its advantage disappears and the situation reverses as the resolution maxes out.
Great review, appreciate it!
