Half-Life 2 Engine 7 – Town
Half-Life 2 (Direct X)
This was one of the most anticipated games in PC history, and even with the troubles it has had with Steam, HL2 drives-on as a great game and great benchmark for PC systems. Below are the default settings we used for our testing today. Actually, we enabled Reflect All instead of Reflect World and AA and AF were enabled where indicated.
Here is a typical scene from our Town run through:
CrossFire does scale here, but not by a large amount due to the less shader intense level that this benchmarking took place on. The ATI setup does out run the NVIDIA SLI configuration.
Where the 6800 Ultra’s fell behind, the 7800 GTX from NVIDIA is able to nearly catch up all the way. The single card, single slot setup that is the 7800 look appealing even here.
