Half-Life 2 – Town01 – 7900 GTX
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 7900 GTX makes a good attempt at over throwing the X1900 XTX but falls just a bit short.
The results remain much the same in SLI mode, but the returns on the second GPU are minimal as this part of HL2 is very CPU limited.
