ASUS EAH3870 512MB Graphics Card Review

Half Life II: Episode 2

Half Life 2: Episode 2 is the newest instalment in Valve’s long running Half Life series and this is without a doubt the best looking game in the series. For this benchmark a typical 10 minute exterior gameplay sequence was prerecorded and then played back using the in-game timedemo feature. The results were recorded with FRAPS.

1280 x 1024



1600 x 1200




2048 x 1536



The Half Life games have always been an area where ATI cards have done well and due to this the ASUS HD3870 TOP is able to keep pace quite well with the 8800GT on many occasions. We also see once again that it is able to stay about 10% faster than the stock HD3870 in many of the tests but once resolution increases, the increased clocks start counting for less and less.
