Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is run at 1,024x768 with both low- and high-detail settings. There really is nothing much in it, and you'd do well to see the difference between the Intel's 148fps average and the X2 7750's 140fps. Indeed, you wouldn't discern it visually on most monitors.

Raising the image-quality to reasonable levels and taking the Radeon HD 4830 512MB card into account, again, there's not a lot in it.

In fact, the 3D results mirror the 2D's, with Intel leading the way, just, and the two Athlons duking it out.
