6800GT enough for Half Life2 Episode 1?

[Icepick]

Will my 6800GT be able to handle Half Life 2 Episode 1 at 1680x1050 with HDR?

Rest of system: Athon64 3500+, 1GB RAM

Hmm...that's a good question...I'd like to say yes for some reason...

In short, yes. But you might have to scale back the AA.

 

[imported_Silverturtle]

Well, my system can't.

But yours might be able to, unfortunately for me.

It will probably be over 30 or 40 FPS. Just as long as you scale back some AA and AF.

With AMD 64 @ 2GHz you get slowdowns in CSS fights in loast coast

..... you're retarded

anyway, to answer the posters question --- you should be fine. i just finished EP1 with 7600gt, A64 3500+, 1.5 gigs of ram, i played on 1280*1024 with 4x AA and 16x AF and it was super smooth. you should be fine at 1680*1050

My sarcasm meter isn't working right. That was a joke, right? Or you got some serious issues with your sweet setup?

damn, you have no idea what you are talking about do you?

My A64 3000+, 6800GT combo can run HL2 EP1 no worries at that res, when running at stock speeds, and my 6800GT is a 128mb model(ASUS V9999GT).

I really wish you would stop posting until you actually offered some useful info, rather than the dribble that you seem to constantly spew.


Master Overclocker...damn you crack me up.

I believe he does have serious issues with that sweet setup
I had hoped he'd be doing better by now...

Seriously, do none of the mods know of the random crap he spews?

 

[Sc4freak]

The mods abandoned the Video section a loooong time ago.

 

[imported_Truenofan]

yeah, he should be ok with it, w/o hdr that is of course.(i've noticed my fps will drop a bit when i enable it)

 

[postmortemIA]

6800Ultra here. Playable if you turn HDR, AA and AF off.

 

[aka1nas]

My 6800nu was pretty playable in ep1 with HDR turned off and AA at 2x or 4x.

 

[Anogar]

I had a 6800 in my system, with an E6600, and I could run HL2 at maxed settings - but I didn't have EP1. I have a X1900XTX now or I'd give numbers.

 

[LOUISSSSS]

yea with low settings, nvidia cards have a lot of trouble playing HL2 based games

 

[imported_Silverturtle]

No sarcasm for me sadly.

 

[nVRuckus]

Im running hl2 on a x300 everything is low but it runs ok. I have to go 640x480 but get 50fps with it on the test thing.

 

[LLoose]

My 2nd rig has an 64 +3000 with x800xl and it runs it quite nicely with HDR and AA turned up. The again, its an ati and can run both at once. I still dont see why it wouldn't be able to run it with a 6800gt.. its still a great card.

PSA***Nvidia can also run HDR+AA in Source Games***
