Serious Sam 2

- DirectX Class: 8.1
- Pixel and Vertex Shaders: No
- Other: Uses OpenGL, supports quad pass multitexture and game applied aniso
Not much to say here other than the ASUS 9600XT/TVD is partial to some Serious Sam lovin' We've used a quality bias here to gain decent image quality. The game was eminently playable with 4x AA and 8x AF. In fact, we'd be happy with either of the three cards here, but the ASUS does seem to pull away when the going gets tough. SS2 was tested in OGL mode.
