Can this run HL2 on full settings?

[sharpshooter1286]

Hey guys, will this computer be able to run HL2 on full specs at a pretty good resolution? Here it is:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+, Socket 754, 1MB L2 Cache
Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MBX2 DDR PC-320
GIGABYTE "GA-K8NS" nVidia nForce3 250 Chipset Motherboard
eVGA nVidia GeForce 6800GT Video Card, 256MB GDDR3
Hitachi 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

What the hell? of course it would.

Well if you have the game, find out!
And I think this would be more appropriate on the Steam Forums, they could answer your question with much more accuracy I think. But I'd say you could, might be a little slow at times though.

[Thordic]

It could, don't know at what FPS though.

The weird thing about HL2 is I don't think there are any computers yet that could run it flawlessly at full settings

[Blazestorm]

There are some computers... except they might cost more than your car

I have an amd 64 3200+ w/ ATI 9800 pro, I run on medium/high settings at 1024x786 with very little below 50-60fps.

Good enough for me

Hell yah it would.
I got full spec on a Athlon Xp 3200+ some Asrock pos mobo
512mb DDDR 3200
Radeon 9600 Se.
I get 40fps non-stop.
Half-Life 2

[Blazestorm]

I doubt you get 40...

9600 SE?
3200 XP?
512mb?

My lil bro (7 years) has a 2500 Barton overclocked to 3200, w/ 9600 Pro, and 1024mb and he runs on medium settings with 40-50fps.

SE = Worse than pro
Barton = Roxors
1024 > 512

I tweaked the computer for gaming...

Just saying I doubt you're doing a constant 40... maybe topping at 40... and are you just playing single player or DM?

Yes, it will run full specs, prolly to 1280x1024.......

I can do 1024x768 (moniter dosn't do better....) all HIGH at 4xAA and 16xAF with 80-100FPS
on a:

XP2500+ @ 2.51Ghz
512mb DDR at 218 2-2-2-11
GeForce 6800Ultra Extreme 256mb
Abit NF7
Audigy 2

that rig has a much better CPU....so your good

It will run HL2 as it is with little problem on full settings. However valve is releasing a dynamic lighting package as an update that will bog down even the best machines. You are supposed to be able to see the little specs of dust floating in a beam of light cutting through a dark room.

[WickeDKlowN]

My comp will run it on high settings with the AA and AF kicked down a tad.

Doom 3 on the other hand, I don't think there is any computer than can run it at a high res with Ultra settings. IIRC, Ultra is made for 512mb video cards.
