Serious Sam 2 Performance

Croteam's Serious Sam games have been a favorite of ours not only because of their use of high quality textures but also because of their highly configurable engines. The team has always been one to try to adopt as many new features as possible into their games and thus we benchmark with everything enabled (with the exception of Truform and Anisotropic filtering):

The Radeon 9500 Pro doesn't benefit as much under Serious Sam 2, but there is a small increase thanks to the optimized driver.
