Serious Sam 2 - Matrox's Parhelia

Publish date: 2024-06-03

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.
