Half Life 2 Episode 2

Still based on the Source Engine, Half Life 2 Episode 2 doesn’t really have anything new on the technological level. It simply optimizes and more heavily relies on the engine’s capabilities, making the game more resource heavy than its previous versions. We carry out a demo with all game options set to a maximum including anisotropic filtering which is in 16x.

In Half Life 2 Episode 2, the GeForce 9800 GTX does a little better and is equal to the 8800 Ultra with anti-aliasing and is 10% ahead without.
