Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is run via the taxing DX10 code-path.

HD 4830 beats HD 3870 but gives a little performance ground to the GeForce 9800 GT which, in turn, loses out to a Radeon HD 4850 512MB.

The newest 4-series card provides around 80 per cent of the HD 4850's performance - just as we would expect.

It's also clear that the GPU bats a different level to the HD 4670 512MB.
