Half-Life 2 – Town_01

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:

The indoor levels like this one are very CPU limited in HL2 as we can see here with only small gains going to the SLI setups once 4xAA and 8xAF are enabled.
