ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB
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. Overall, the timedemo is pretty representative of gameplay. All of the in-game graphical settings were set to maximum and HDR was at 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 04/24.

on July 1, 2007 - 5:35 pm Yeah, I found that a little too late; I will be updating the video card benchmarks fairly soon, since I'm planning on a nice DX10 round-up. It should be fun (by fun I mean mind-numbing horrible terrible very bad work) but also helpful and enlightening. The mid-range gap is just appalling, though. It's almost as if major companies can't make stream processing cards that cost right to fill in the space. NVIDIA comes close with their 8800GTS 320MB, but it still runs about $275. . . Thanks for the heads up. I'm still getting the hang of video card benches, and I'm always willing to accept pointers. 3 - Posted by

on October 25, 2008 - 2:36 pm I have been recommended the 2600 pro as an upgrade for my Dell Dimension 9150 (3 yrs old, present card X600). The XT looks better. They were recommended because of low power demand and they are pci-e 1 compatible. Is this right and are there better options in the $100-$200 bracket. I'd rather stick with ATI I think.
