After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Left 4 Dead 2
With flesh eating zombies coming after you in endless waves Left 4 Dead 2 does push your hardware beyond what is seen in most games. The storyline is simple; you and 3 survivors are dropped into the middle of a zombie apocalypse and must find safety among the hordes of dead.
Left 4 Dead 2 is based on DirectX 9 technology and plays well on a variety of hardware

When testing Left 4 Dead 2 all of the settings were turned up to their highest, and Anisotropic Filtering was turned to 16X. Anti-Aliasing was turned to 8X to smooth out all of those jagged edges for a crisp visual experience.
The Radeon HD 5750 is able to output some serious FPS on L4D2 at all resolutions. It does not beat the 5770 or lose to the 5670, but instead stayed right within its marketed spot. The older GTS 250 does show it can play L4D2, but only showing up to the party at the highest resolution.
