Benchmark Results: Left 4 Dead

by

Left 4 Dead is a survival horror shooter in which you club, scratch, bite, and shoot your way through hordes of zombies. The graphics are based on an improved version of Half Life 2’s Source Engine. The game isn’t very challenging graphically. This, together with its very good support for multi-core CPUs ensures silky smooth frame rates.

Graphics quality is once again set to Very High for our benchmarks, which is the highest setting the game supports. The highest anti-aliasing setting used is 8x. The benchmark consists of our own timedemo, where a group of survivors fights a large number of zombies in a street.

I'm struggling to figure out why people keep using The Last Remnant as a benchmark considering how skewed its results are in favour of nVidia cards. Apart from that, good guide.

Nvidia bias as usual from THG.

An HIS 5770 is available in Australia for under $A200, Powercolor even cheaper. Fantastic value, particularly with the scope for overclocking. I'll be in India for the next two months, interesting to check Mumbai prices.

Nice guide.I'm happy how you tested it with the tom clancy's games,and fallout 3,but,to make it better Crysis & Crysis warhead should be in the list,those games need a powerfull engine:)Nice anyway.

The 5870 and 5970 came out on the open market like what 3 months ago. It is odd that these guys cant acknowledge there EXISTENCE. I do believe they are biased in there benchmarks. I mean if u can show Nvideas 2gig card why on earth wouldnt u show ATI`s 2gig card. Or even the 1gig. Not very honest on there part i am ashamed to say.
