    You'll see my own numbers tomorrow night at midnight, but we've been given the go ahead to reveal a bit of information about Half-Life 2. I'll keep it brief and to the point and will explain it in greater detail tomorrow night:

    - Valve is pissed at all of the benchmarking "optimizations" they've seen in the hardware community;
    - Half-Life 2 has a special NV3x codepath that was necessary to make NVIDIA's architecture perform reasonably under the game;
    - Valve recommends running geforce fx 5200 and 5600 cards in dx8 mode in order to get playable frame rates.
    - even with the special NV3x codepath, ATI is the clear performance leader under Half-Life 2 with the Radeon 9800 Pro hitting around 60 fps at 10x7. The 5900 ultra is noticeably slower with the special codepath and is horrendously slower under the default dx9 codepath;
    - the Radeon 9600 Pro performs very well - it is a good competitor of the 5900 ultra;
    - ATI didn't need these special optimizations to perform well and Valve insists that they have not optimized the game specifically for any vendor.


    Hát igen kéremszépen...

    HL2ben még a 9600PRO is gyorsabb az FX5900Ultránál. És ugye itt 130 illetve egy 400 dollis kártyát nézünk...
    Nem mellesleg ugye, az FX még a saját codepathel sem tud elég gyors lenni, nemhogy standard dx9-ben...

    Egy idézet a HL készitőjének szövegéből:
    Oddly enough, even using the DX8 codepath, the previous-generation GeForce Ti 4600 outperformed the brand-new GeForce FX 5600 Ultra.

    Lehet vihogni
