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.
At the highest resolution we see that only the DDR-3 modules are over 103 FPS while at the lower resolution the tighter timings on the DDR-2 give it the lead. We again see the overclocked CPU yield a performance increase but only at the lower resolution.
