Serious Sam 2: The Second Encounter
The publicly available Serious Sam 2 demo was used for this test. We ran the Extreme Quality add-on to override any autodetected graphics settings, then set our resolution and disabled anisotropic filtering for the benchmarks. We picked the first demo as our benchmark level of choice. We recorded the average frame rate without excessive peaks

83.5
78.4
75.7Under Serious Sam 2 the 4400 and 4600 offer much more compelling arguments to those with the budget:
- The Ti 4400 is 15% faster than the Ti 4200
- The Ti 4600 is 32% faster than the Ti 4200
The main reason behind this is that Serious Sam is much more memory bandwidth sensitive and not as GPU limited as games like Unreal Tournament 2003. Moving forward we'll begin to see much more GPU limited titles than those that are bound mostly by memory bandwidth which will encourage companies like NVIDIA to differentiate between cards based on GPU clock rather than on memory clock.
