Half Life 2 Episode 2

Synopsis (from official website):
"As Dr. Gordon Freeman, you were last seen exiting City 17 with Alyx Vance as the Citadel erupted amidst a storm of unknown proportions. In Episode Two, you must battle and race against Combine forces as you traverse the White Forest to deliver a crucial information packet stolen from the Citadel to an enclave of fellow resistance scientists."

Interpretation


As you can see in the charts above, tuning the antialiasing to its maximum made almost no difference to the frame rate, and the human eye would not detect any slowdown. The ATI Radeon HD4850 is already showing itself to be a high caliber graphics card. Perhaps Call of Duty 4 and Crysis will be of more value in testing the limits of this card.
