Half-Life 2 – Direct3D

Notes

The GeForce 6800 GT and Ultra are CPU-limited at 1024x768 and 1280x1024 with all of the Athlon XP processors we tested. The vanilla GeForce 6800 actually isn’t much better with the Athlon XP 2100+ and 2500+, needing a 2800+ or better for optimal results. The X800 cards on the other hand scale much better, although the X800 PRO is able to deliver very competitive performance with the RADEON X800 XT and X800 XT Platinum Edition in this scenario.
