Like its predecessor, Left 4 Dead 2 is a co-operative, survival horror, first-person shooter that pits four players against numerous hordes of Zombies. Like Half Life 2, the game uses the Source engine, however, the visual in L4D 2 are far superior to anything seen in the Half Life universe to date. The game has much more realistic water and lighting effects, more expansive maps with richer detail, more complex models, and the list goes on and on. We tested the game at various resolutions with 4x anti-aliasing and 16x anisotropic filtering enabled and all in game graphical options set to their maximum values. |
Left 4 Dead 2 is more CPU bound than a few of our other tests, hence the smaller deltas separating the higher-end cards tested here. With that said, the overclocked GeForce GTX 480s still end being up faster than the reference card and any other single-GPU in the current Radeon line-up.
