NVIDIA HL2 issue solved with 52.00 Detonator

[TheZsenyka]

Awesome piece of information!!!!

NVIDIA finally did it! The performance issue is to be totally patched with the release of the 52.00 Detonator!

Here is the deal:
From version 52.00 the driver recognizes the presence of Half-Life 2 and automatically switches back the resolution to 640x480. The average FPS is to be around 28-30 so it will be playable.
Now i think the sun is shining a bit brighter over NVIDIA fans...

Try to be civil, otherwise we have no problem letting you go.

If I read this right you`re saying if you`ve a FX 5900 Ultra (for example) it will go to 640x480 mode for HL2,hmmmm if I spent all my cash on a FX 5900 Ultra to play it at that res I would be pissed to put it mildley.


Hehe I know you`re joking because there`s no link,btw welcome to the forums.
