 Left 4 Dead |
Left 4 Dead is a cooperative, survival horror, first-person shooter that was developed by Turtle Rock Studios, which was purchased by Valve part-way into development. Like Half-Life 2, the game uses the Source engine. However, the visuals in L4D are far superior to anything seen in the Half-Life universe to date. The game pits four survivors of an apocalyptic pandemic against hordes of aggressive zombies. We tested the game at resolutions of 1920 x 1200 and 2560 x 1600 with 4x anti-aliasing and 16x anisotropic filtering enabled and all in game graphical options set to their maximum values. |
The Diamond 4870 X2 and 4870 X2 XOC manage to lead the pack at 1920x1200, but then they both fall behind the other multi-GPU solutions at 2560x1600. As you can see, upping the resolution resulted in a bigger performance hit for the 4870 X2 cards than it did with the others.
