ATI Radeon X1800 GTO 256MB
Half-Life 2
 Our Half-Life 2 benchmark consists of a timedemo we recorded in the canals level (map d1_canals06). In this timedemo Gordon is in a boat and emerges from an enclosed area into a canal. He maneuvers through several obstacles and eventually comes across some enemies. Some Combine dropships fly by overhead and a couple of Combine soldiers on the ground fire their weapons. There is a lot of water in this scene. All of the in-game graphical settings were set to high. The "Reflections" drop down menu was set to "Reflect All." The "HDR" drop-down menu was set to "None." Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering were controlled through a batch file which changes the in-game settings. After the batch has finished running, the average frames per second for each test is output to a file. For each test, the timedemo was run three times and the results were averaged. The game was up-to-date as of 3/3/06.

on July 10, 2006 - 9:49 am i have no idea if you'd be able to recover from a failed BIOS flash... i haven't tried it, personally. as far as the different brands of video cards go, that's all up to you. my personal opinion is i don't care that much who's sticker is on the video card, what i car about is what the GPU is under the heatsink. the deciding factor for me would be the price, the bundle, and the warranty. 5 - Posted by

on July 10, 2006 - 5:53 pm well what i think about the x1800 gto GPU is that it is has superior power (321 million trasistors and 256 bit memory interface),excellent support for HDR, AA and AF but when it comes to the 7600 gt it is cheaper, hell of a fast card, designed for specific game titles but unfortunately it only has 167 million transistors and 128 bit memory interface. i think i would choose the x1800 gto it's eyes looking for the future. now for my questions part: 1-would i be able to crossfire this 1800 gto using another 1800 gto on an intel 975 chipset based m.board 2-is this crossfire dongless or not? 3-i read that ATI will have several crrossfire layouts,2 GPUs,1GPU and 1physics card is that true?
