World in Conflict is a real-time strategy video game by Massive Entertainment and to be published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows (DX9 and DX10) and the Xbox 360.

The game is set in 1989 where economic troubles cripple the Soviet Union and threaten to dissolve it. However, the title pursues a "what if" scenario where, in this case, the Soviet Union does not collapse and instead pursues a course of war to remain in power. It is an intensive new game is sure to put plenty of stress on even the latest graphics cards and we use the built-in benchmarking for our testing.

What we find is that WIC gains are only really seen at the highest of resolutions. This puts both setups quite similar to each other here, but performance is ahead of the Dual GPU HD 3870 X2 and not all that far behind the more expensive 9800 GTX OCX.
