Half-Life 2: Episode One

The GeForce 8800 GTX and the Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire reach the highest speed possible for the CPU model our testbed is equipped with in low resolutions, and their speeds coincide in 1920x1200, too. Obviously, the 4x FSAA test mode cannot load such powerful graphics solutions fully here.

The cards differ more in 8x FSAA + 16x Aniso mode, starting from the resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. The GeForce 8800 GTX is a leader, followed by the GeForce 7950 Quad SLI. The Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire and the GeForce 7900 GTX SLI are in the top four, too. Among single graphics cards with an ordinary, non-unified architecture, we can single out the Radeon X1950 XTX that provides 60fps in 1920x1200.

In the most resource-consuming, yet also the best-quality mode, the GeForce 8800 GTX is somewhat slower than the Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire. The new card from Nvidia cannot give you 60fps in 1920x1200 as the more expensive solution from ATI does.
