Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Related Articles
Right now we're playing around with our own Half-Life 2: Lost Coast timedemo.
It's still experimental but I wanted to include the scores. You are looking at the Lost Coast level with maximum image quality setting and then 4x AA and 16x AF enabled and HDR enabled. We use our own created timedemo here. Seriously .. if a graphics card could puke .. with this level they would.
Let's make it even more complex and launch a variety of IQ options, even 14x AA with 16xAF.
Again I can't stress enough that we enabled all quality settings including real-world reflections etc. Look at that bugger go ... amazing. When we enable 14x antialiasing and 16x anisotropic filtering we can still play this level at 1920x1200 pretty much flawlessly.
T
he results remain so darn good at 1920x1200 with an average framerate of 38 FPS. There's no way you could ever pull that off with a single card.
HiS Radeon X1950 Pro ICEQ3 Turbo review
Today's tested product is the shaggy Radeon X1950 Pro which comes with the newer IceQ3 cooling solution; a review on ATI's latest 12-pipe mid-range product which obviously was based off the R580 silicon, and is quite frankly a very credible graphics card as you'll learn in this article. The card features 36 Pixel Shaders units. And for roughly $219-239 you can pickup the 256MB version already.
Radeon X1650 XT & X1950 Pro & Crossfire
Primarily this is a Radeon X1650 XT Crossfire article, yet with included X1950 Pro Crossfire results as well. Ever since NVIDIA released the GeForce 7600 GS/GT cards earlier this year ATI has had a very rough time delivering a product that offers the same performance. They constantly were close but not close enough. ATI worked hard to finish up its new 80 nanometer products and despite a delay of all the 80 nanometer chips, it is finally ready in good quantities. The Radeon X1950 Pro for example is such a product.
HiS Radeon X1650 PRO review
The Radeon X1650 Pro utilizes the ATI RV535 graphics core, a new revision of the RV530 which was the basis of the X1600 series. What's new then you are asking ? Uhm, well nothing except a newer 80nm fabrication process. That 80nm process ensures cheaper production of the silicon and more importantly less heat and likely lower graphics core voltages. That means you can clock the core faster, which was done quite insignificantly for this model but the increase is there.
Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB Review
So today we'll be looking at the rather lovely Radeon X1950 Pro from this company, a review on ATI's latest 12-pipe mid-range product which obviously was based off the R580 silicon, and quite frankly is a very credible graphics card as you'll learn in this article. The card features 36 Pixel Shaders units. For $199 you can pickup the 256MB version already, it sounds like a great deal as it should offer at least twice the performance of a X1600 Pro.
