Half Life 2 specs....hurrah!!! I can make it!

[gururu]

Valve boss Gabe Newell has revealed the hardware requirements for Half-Life 2, ahead of the game's expected late summer release.

Taking time out to post on HL2Fallout's forums last week, Newell said that the minimum spec would be a 1.2GHz powered PC with 256MB RAM, Win 98/ME/2000/XP and a DirectX 7 compatible graphics card.

But for those who want to see the game running in all its glory, be prepared to spec up to around a 2.4 GHz machine, with 512MB RAM, Windows 2000/XP and a DirectX 9 capable graphics card.

AMD 1900+, 512 PC2100, GF4 Ti 4400 here. I expect 800x600 with medium settings, possibly 2xAA, or 1024x768 with med-low settings and no AA.

Guess what?

Doom III will be just as "optimized" . . . well almost.





i guess we're gonna find out real soon.

Since games withg a new engine take on average of 3 years - by the time we play them, it's ALL outdated technology.

The video cards are so way ahead of the games it's (not) funny.
(yes it is)
