By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 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 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 X700 and X850XT both receive a nice bump in performance in 1024 x 768 but at 1600 x 1200 the performance keeps coming for the X850XT with a noticeable jump in frames.
