jake is exactly right about both of these games they are not out yet, so dont judge them considering betas are always totally different from the final version.

as long as the LCD doesnt have more than a 25ms response time then ur ok. Viewsonic has lcds with 16ms reponse time now.

Would a ATI Radeon 9600 XT w/512MB PC 2700 and an AMD Athlon 2500+ work fine with HL2?? Or would i need to get more ram???

hey guys, i was wondering if half life 2 would work on this system:
AMD Athlon 64 bit 2800+ processor, soyo dragon motherboard, 512 kingston RAM, 80 gig hard drive, and my vid card is a jaton nvidia fx 5700 256 meg. Will half life 2 run smoothly?

probably
details and filterings low though

Since everyone seems to think HL2 will need a super PC, i guess I need to post my specs because i dont know if my pc will be able to run it??


Quad Athlon MP 2800+ Bartons.
6 GB pc3200 DDR2 RAM
20 U320 36 gig 15k SCSI drives in a RAID 0 set-up to have a total of 720 gigs
Stolen Dual PCI-E GeForce 6800 SLi cards
54 inch plasma monitor
Windows 2000 DataCenter
Dual 1350 Watt Redundant PSU's
Nitro Cooling... keeps CPUs at a constant -34 C

HmMmMm I think i just might have good enough specs to mmaabey put HL 2 settings on medium detail and High res...

Jason, you're cut.

2200+ & 9600pro is sufficient for Half Life 2 & DOOM3

What do u mean by me being cut

You are cut from the team.

=(... its not like a made up a system.... that config is very possible

what's wrong with this people......Have they ever play hl2 and doom3????...........just wait until both released okay............

AMD AthlonXP 3200+
MSI K7N2 Delta L
HIS radeon 9800pro ICEQ -------> ((sold)looking for X800pro)

I think that the playable code that is out there on the internet is actually quite useful, because it gives people an indication of how well their PCs will play HL2 and Doom 3, and if they need to upgrade. And if you don't agree with downloading a level of a game that you will buy anyway, then don't download it, but don't have a go at the people who have. They will buy the game anyway, so they're not ripping off the developers are they?

PS: Don't have a go at me for downloading it because I haven't, I want to see HL2 for the first time in the full version.

if these games require 80% of people to upgrade there computers just to play it then i dont think they will get fantastic amounts of people buying the game so i reckon a normal spec comp should be able to play it

I wondering why the developers of HL2&D3 always recommends for the newest card.........maybe there's a some commercial things behind that..............D3(recommended for 6800)

they prolly get some money from nvidia or ati i eman id rather play it on a x800xt than a 9200se personally

I saw some1 playin the leaked D3 thing.. and he had a ATI 9700 PRO and was getting some lags here and there.. but he had settings all the way high and plus that leak was totally beta... final release get rid of this lag.

That was probably the alpha, and you can't expect it to run well. Also, in the coming 2 weeks(around the time doom3 is released). If you own counter-strike:condition zero you will be able to play CS:Source beta. I know I'm looking forward to it, even though it will only be on one map, and it will be a good show for the physics of the game and also the graphics/how it will run. I know I've already bought condition zero, how about you??

is it difficult to overclock amd athlon 2800 + up to a 3200, if its easy please explain or send a link to how to do it because i have never OC'd before. And are the chances of screwing something up big?
