Am I good for HL2?

[sswingle]

I have my 9800 SE. I know its not the greatest card in the world, but I overclocked it from 324/270 to 400/315

My 3dMark 2003 score is 3213

Is this going to be good for half life 2 and doom 3, or am I going to be dissapointed?

better than the gf3 ive got...

neither of them are out yet, and if you plan to play them both, wait till both of them are out and then buy the VPU released afterwards for maximum performance.

Your 9800SE will run both those games just fine

Maybe not at high resolutions with high details, but you can dial those down a little for some acceptable performance without a hitch.

You only score a 3200 in 3dm03? Dang, the 9800 SEs really kind suck, my 9600 Pro scores around a 3k even.

Any my actual 9800 Pro scores a 5800...

is it the memory bandwidth or the texture pipelines that got gh3y3d in the SE?

Yeah, that 3200 seems low. I'm 58xx - 59xx with my 9800 Pro (flashed and o/ced 400/350).
