Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Benchmarks

Many gamers believe Lost Coast is resource hungry because of the HDR. This is not strictly the case. Lost Coast features very high resolution textures, and the infamous Fisherman character has double the number of polygons than a typical Half-Life 2 character does. It all adds up, in line with the design brief. We will see HDR next week Day of Defeat: Source, and that will be a clearer indication of the impact of HDR in a “normal” game, rather than a souped-up technology demo level.

This is a tease, the screenshots are amazing. You can see how your system will stack up when the level is released, and also download a teaser video. Check it out at Bit-Tech.
