Serious Sam 2

We benchmarked Serious Sam 2 by taking the publicly available demo and applying the Extreme Quality defaults. We disabled anisotropic filtering and n-patches for all of the cards and we forced texture compression on the Parhelia (all of the other cards had it enabled just fine initially).

We ran the 'little trouble' demo for the test and reported the average frame rate without excessive peaks.

Serious Sam 2 is a small boost to Parhelia's ego but it's not enough to get it above even the Ti 4200.

It's only at higher resolutions that the Parhelia can approach the Ti 4200, but the 4600 is no where in sight.

    Wonderful! I am glad that you shared about the performance of Matrox's Comeback Kid which I choose https://www.researchwritingking.com/review-bestdis... for students. It is always good to see the performance of any kind of product before using it. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for sharing this kind of content with us as I was thinking about switching from NVIDIA to Matrox to maximize the performance as I also work as a freelance video editor for businesses and as a full time I work as a cheap website content writer UK to help startups to create attractive and engaging content which can rank above the competitor. If you want instant help from more certified and qualified writers you can get from British Blog Writers and also follow their website (https://www.britishblogwriters.co.uk/content-writi... or contact them by phone which is also included in the website.
