By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism, responsiveness and new HDR technology, Half-Life 2 Lost Coast opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies.
We benchmark Half Life 2 Lost Coast with our own custom timedemos as to avoid possible driver optimizations using the “record demo_name” command and loading the timedemo with the “timedemo demo_name” command - For a full list of the commands, click here.
The X1950XTX sees performance increases at the lower resolution and at the higher resolution the X850XT and X1650PRO see a drop. Everything goes back to normal when we move to our HDR tests though.
