Half-Life 2

The speed of this game depends on the ability of the GPU to execute version 2.0 pixel shaders, so all RADEON X850/X800 series cards are on top here.

It starts the same way in the “eye candy” mode, but the speeds become similar in 1280x1024 and in 1600x1200 the GeForce 6800 series cards suddenly find themselves ahead of the RADEONs.

The performance of the vertex processors is the decisive factor on the d3_c17_02 map. It depends directly on the frequency of the GPU, so the RADEON X850 and X800 series cards are better here. The overclocked WinFast PX6800 GT overtakes the RADEON X800 XL.

The “eye candy” mode brings similar results.
