SiN Episodes: Emergence - Tested and Benchmarked

@ 2006/05/13
As many people already know, one of the great things about the Source Engine is that it delivers great graphics without requiring a £2000 SLI gaming system to run on. Half-Life 2 was perfectly playable on hardware that struggles to play newer games like F.E.A.R. and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

The good news is that this continues with SiN Episodes, which is even missing the recent HDR eye candy Valve added to Source - the only potential snag for gamers with older hardware. We were aiming to run the game at the native 1280x1024 resolution of our ViewSonic 19" LCD and as you can see, we succeeded.
