Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising Benchmarks
How We Test
We use the integrated benchmark test and the graphics presets to test the game. The benchmark shows a massive battle and should give a good impression of the gameplay.
Analysis of the Benchmarks
To play Dawn of War II you need at least a modern integrated graphics card like the Intel HD Graphics 3000. However, the lowest detail setting are not very appealing.
For good looking high settings you should at least have a mid range graphics card in your laptop, like the GeForce GT 540M.
To play in the highest settings and resolutions fluently, a mobile high-end graphics card like a GeForce GTX 560M or a mid range desktop card like the GeForce GTS 450 are needed.
The benchmark itself is not very CPU bound, as the old GeForce G210M with a slow 1.7 GHz Core 2 Duo manages to keep up in low details.
