Half-Life 2 is a popular franchise and we benchmark the video cards using Episode Two with the aid of HOC Half-Life 2 Episode Two benchmarking utility using the “HOC Demo 1” provided by this program. We ran the game under 1024x768 with no anti-aliasing and bilinear filtering, i.e., using the lowest image quality possible. The results, given in frames per second, you see below.

Here AMD 780G was 73.68% faster than GeForce 8200. A very low-end Radeon HD 3450 was 39.39% faster than the on-board video produced by AMD 780G.

Enabling Hybrid CrossFire technology performance increased 15% compared to the Radeon HD 3450 alone with the on-board video disabled.
