Half-Life 2





Vindication for the 512MB framebuffer at long last? There's a definite performance improvement when image quality is dialled up, and the benchmark appeared smoother when running. It's future titles that will decide the merits of having 512MB of local memory, and Half-Life 2 provides us with a glimpse, albeit small, of its potential. You'll note, however, that an X850 XT PE is still much faster, even at 1600x1200 4x AA/8x AF.
