So of course the one thing everyone asked for was something I couldn't deliver for the first part of the Fall 2003 Video Card roundup - Half Life 2 performance. Of course there were requests for Doom3 performance and believe me, if we had the benchmarks we would definitely have included them. As you can guess, Valve has not released the Half Life 2 benchmark as originally expected and thus we don't have updated Half Life 2 numbers for you. The conclusion of the recent article did reference Doom3 and Half Life 2 performance however, and believe me I wasn't just pulling numbers and thoughts out of the air - I've got some basis for what I've said.
Here are some Half Life 2 numbers for you to look at; they were provided by a reliable source, but I could not verify anything myself so take them with a grain of salt. ATI was running in their DX9 codepath and the mixed mode codepath was used for NVIDIA. No AA/AF was enabled and we're looking at 1024x768 scores:
Half Life 2 Demo Radeon 9800XT NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
e3_bugbait 71.4 73.9
e3_c17_01 57.6 57.5
e3_c17_02 49.9 49.3
e3_phystown 74.5 77.2
e3_seafloor 53.9 53.3
e3_techdemo_5 83.5 64.5
e3_techdemo_6 76.9 71.7
e3_under_02 77.3 71.1
hopefully this is new.. i saw this on another board.. eh
