Galaxy GeForce GTX 275 OC 896MB Review

Left 4 Dead

Developed by a new team of Valve’s, Left 4 Dead is a single or multi-player game that encompasses the most automatic story for a shooter: zombie apocalypse.  The team aspect of the title, based on Valve’s Source engine, really makes this a unique gaming experience that I think all PC gamers should be required to play.



The Valve: Source engine supports in-game demos that can be played back as fast as possible (fixed frame count) or in real-time (variable frame count) to simulate a more real-world experience.  I chose the last stage of the Farm House “movie” and played through the cornfield section to get the majority of the level in the FRAPS run through. 



Despite a quirky result on the 2048×1536 resolution, the Galaxy GTX 275 OC card has a fantastic outing with Left 4 Dead and at 2560×1600 it has a 15% performance advantage over the HD 4890 from AMD.
