Half Life 2 Specs Revealed!

I dunno I ran that last (ssssh!!!) demo of Doom III on an athlon 2100, geforce 4, 1GB RAM and it was fine. Didn't look as pretty as it could be, though. I don't run beta stuff on my faster, other machine.

"demo".. yeah...

Well Im going to register but I had to reply...I think it depends on your taste for aa as far as what will make your game run smooth. For example Far Cry is the one game where I know a console command for displaying real time fps so I use this to judge performance gains on my rig.

With all settings maxed out except no AA I can get my fps as high as 90 in the indoor areas of the game. Outdoor areas are much more demanding and I get between 30 and 50 depending on the areas. If I turned AA on I am looking framerates dropping as low as 17 sometimes when there is a lot of action outside. Honestly for the performance hit I find AA useless on FarCry. I use this game as my comparison as it is the most demanding game I have in my lineup. My specs 2.4ghz 1gig ram 9800pro...sure it may be midrange now but if I can run Far Cry smoothly minus AA im sure HL2 and D3 will run fine under same conditions

BTW if anyone is curious the command is r_displayinfo 1. replacing 1 with 0 turns it off.

can my pc play this game.

eVGA Geforce FX5500 256MB
1024MB Samsung DDR RAM
120gig Hard Drive
16X/48X DVD/CD Drive
8X/48X DVD-R,RW/CD-R,RW Drive
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.84Ghz
MSI KT4AV-L Mobo
Creative Sound Blaster PCI
Blue Cold Cathode Neon Kit
Red Spiral Neon Cannon

No one can tell until there's a playable demo released. You're gonna have to wait for a couple of weeks at least before you find out.

Ya im sure it can, with that Blue Cold Cathode Neon Kit, the game should play like butter.

What is a blue code cathode neon kit?

Its the lights that light up his PC, blue.

No I dont think his PC can run the game. He has to have the Yellow Spiral Neon Cannon which is more powerful and reliable than the Red Spiral Neon Cannon !! You have to upgrade, buddy

Phase 3 -> Profit !!!

Yea but what's phase 2 ???

(btw Im glad you still live Didou)

Yea I thought so, but by your post I was left dumbfounded HAHA I have never gotten any lights and don't ever intend to, unless they are attached to some super cooling system or something:grinthumb

lol I was just BS'ing, in how the lights will make it fast enough to play the game

I cant beleive it runs on such little compared to Doom3 which needs a heeluava of a machine


To gabe and the HL2 team you guys are the best and let no-one tell you otherwise.
