 Half-Life 2: Episode 2 |
Thanks to the dedication of hardcore PC gamers and a huge mod community, the original Half-Life became one of the most successful first person shooters of all time. And thanks to an updated game engine, gorgeous visual, and intelligent weapon and level design, Half-Life 2 became just as popular. Episode 2 offers a number of visual enhancements, including better looking transparent texture anti-aliasing. These tests were run at resolutions of 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 with 4x anti-aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering enabled concurrently. Color correction and HDR rendering were also enabled in the game engine as well. We used a custom recorded timedemo file to benchmark all cards in this test. |
Continuing to meet our expectations, the MSI N9600GT OC again outperforms the PNY Verto 9600 GT and ASUS EN9600GT SILENT by a small margin. All three cards are right on the heals of the 512MB GeForce 8800 GT.
