For our Serious Sam 2 benchmark we used the “Branchester” scene in the game. Our retail version of the video game was patched to Version 2.070. To benchmark, we used the Hochbench utility and ran tests at resolutions of 1600x1200 and 2048x1536 along with 4x anti aliasing in one test and HDR in the other. Both tests had anisotropic filtering set at 16x.

As has been the general trend for all tests we ran, the overclocked XFX video cards have considerable performance gains over the GeForce 8800s running at stock speeds. Serious Sam 2, however, is not a title that is very demanding on the GPUs, and for this reason as we pass to higher resolutions we don’t see much of an impact on performance compared to how much we have seen with other titles we tested today.
