Testing - HL2 Episode 1
 Our Half-Life 2 Episode 1 benchmark consists of Gordon emerging into the streets to find ant lions and Combine soldiers fighting. Gordon proceeds to kill a mother ant lion and lots of baby ant lions while generally blowing up anything in the way. The gravity gun is used to push a couple of cars over ant lion dens, then some more Combine soldiers are killed. The timedemo ends after Gordon enters a small room and sets off a mine. (No, I didn't accidentally die, I'm not a noob!) Overall, the timedemo is pretty representative of gameplay. 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 "Full." 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 10/9/06. Note: HL2 Episode 1 uses a unique method of implementing HDR, and the NVIDIA cards are actually capable of HDR + AA in this game.

on February 13, 2007 - 2:09 am The packaging i've seen for them is funny looking for this card. Overall, foxconn cards in retail are some of the cheapest, pretty well manufactured cards you can get. Or maybe it's just the suppliers around here. But we get these and the 8800's cheap.
