so does anyone know what kind of requirement halflife 2 is gonna have? i have a ti-4200 right now. not sure if i should upgrade my card just to play hl2. i did a quick search and didnt find anything
 
Probably an ATI Radeon 9200 can easily run it but don't expect anything special with that card. You'll have to play in low details.
 
upgrade!

im guessing its gonna be like doom 3, which will run OK on a 9700 pro

i also need to upgrade my TI4600 not for HL2 but for Doom 3
 
A year? I got my 4600 about two years ago, and they weren't very new then (iirc the 9x00's and 5x00's were just around the corner).

Wha? A Ti4200 would smoke a 9200, especially in OpenGL.

he was suggesting the 9200 as a possible minimum for hl2, and "that card" referred to the 9200. the 4200, as you said, is much faster, and so would probably be ok at 800x600 or 1024 low details. i played the hl2 alpha on my 4200, got about 30-40fps with low details.

HL2 is dx9 🙁

The HL2 leak ran at 65 fps constant (max about 200 staring at a wall, min about 30) at 1280x1024 on my 9800 Pro. I can't remember but I think it dropped to 50-55 with 2x AA and 4x aniso on. That's approximate of course.
 
HL2 is a DX9 game, yes, but Valve made sure to make the game highly scalable. Did you know that HL2 will run on a TNT2? Its going to look like crap, but the support is there. So, don't worry too much about it. I think you're ti4200 (64MB or 129MB version?) will be ok. But, 9700/9800 are pretty cheap now-a-days. $125-200 for either. Should run great on those cards. But, of course....you can always do what I did and get a X800 XT and really enjoy the new titles coming out 😛

Well that's why I said don't expect anything special. It will be crappy.
 
yeah i am behind in everything, i remember my friend got the ti4200 when it first came out, and he was like holy sh1t, 128mb video card memory, what an over kill

Woops, had Doom III on the brain.
 
How well will HL3 run on my ATI 7500 guys? I am really curious if I should upgrade to a 6800 Ultra right now, or wait 5-6 years before we start hearing rumors about it.. what do you leet guys think

Not true. Valve dumped support for the DX6 gen after the leak.
