| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
In this testing we present final annual review for Game The Callisto Protocol, which was tested at maximum graphics quality settings with ray tracing.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Company of Heroes 3 is only supported Windows 10/11.
The priority and main graphics API for Company of Heroes 3 is DirectX 12.
| GAME ENGINE |
Company of Heroes 3 is based on the Essence Engine, developed and supported by Relic Entertainment. The engine supports many modern graphics effects, including High Dynamic Range, dynamic lighting, shadows, shaders and bump texturing. Essence Engine is the first engine designed for RTS games to support facial animation. With the game Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, the engine began to use a variety of weather effects and DirectX 10.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II uses a redesigned version of the Essence Engine, which allows games to use even more detailed models and textures, realistic lighting, and modern shader effects. Essence Engine 2.0 is optimized for multi-core processors and modern video cards.
| ADVANCED GAME SETTINGS |
The Callisto Protocol has a wide range of graphic settings. We have both basic and advanced settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between minimum and high graphics quality settings on video cards GEFORCE GTX и RADEON RX, which do not support hardware ray tracing.
| QUALITY MODES |
| TECHNOLOGIES |
The graphics in Company of Heroes 3 are not particularly impressive:
Well, then we will move directly to gaming tests and determine what impact this game has on modern computer hardware.

| TEST GPU |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

AS we see, all video cards with 8 gigabytes of video memory have problems with performance in the game at all different screen sizes...
| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with various anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the chart at the request of the reader.
