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.

We see a similar story here but for some reason the OCZ memory failed to pass at overclocked speeds at the low resolution while it had no issues at all with the higher resolution.

When overclocked at the higher resolution the OCZ memory is able to provide a little advantage over the Corsair and Kingston memory.
