Half Life 2: Episode 2

"Taking place in and around the fictional City 17, Half-Life 2 follows the adventures of scientist Gordon Freeman. Dr. Freeman is thrust into a dystopian environment in which the aftermath of the Black Mesa Incident has come to bear fully upon human society. Freeman is forced to fight against increasingly unfavorable odds in order to survive. In his struggle, he is joined by various allies, including former Black Mesa colleagues, oppressed citizens of City 17, and the Vortigaunts....Half-Life 2 garnered near unanimous positive reviews and received critical acclaim,[8][9][10] winning over 35 Game of the Year awards for 2004.[11] The game has been critically praised for its advances in computer animation, sound, narration, computer graphics, artificial intelligence (AI) and physics."

For this benchmark, I will be running a demo and using FRAPS, just like the COD4 demo. The settings will all be set at max (that's AAx8 AFx16 max textures, full water reflections, etc.).
Results

As you can see, the Palit ATI Radeon HD 4850 performed very well with HL2:Ep2. An average FPS of 49 on the very highest settings shows what this card is capable of. This card could easily output 60+ FPS on slightly lower than high settings, which shouldn't be a sacrifice for someone looking at this card.
