- Half Life 2 Episode 2 (DirectX 9)

Half Life 2 is a first person shooter game that everybody has played and loved. Episode 2 has several image quality improvements and enabling the 4xAA and 16AF further enhances the gaming experience.

The XFX HD4770 performed better than the 9600GT at 1280x 1024 but was slightly slower than the 9800GT.

The HD4770 really shines at 1680x1050 & 1920x1200:

- Left4Dead

The latest Source engine is found in the ' Left4Dead' game title. We used a custom time demo and measured the performance of the graphics card using the embedded console. The measurements started at 1280x1024 and up to 1920x1200 with 16xAF enabled all visual settings maxed out.

Increasing the resolution made the XFX HD 4770 render slower but still, the impact was not serious enough and the game was completely playable even at 1920x1200. Enabling 8xAA reduced the performance to 45.20FPS, which would be playable for most users.
