Yep. It actually appears to be much more forgiving of slower hardware than, say, Doom3. I know people running it on GeForce 3 cards. With that CPU, the high end cards won't be able to fully flex their muscle, but what you can get is DX9 visuals instead of 8 or even 7.
If you are planning on buying a video card right this very second, I would suggest an ATI x800 Pro or nvidia 6800 to go with that system. The 6800GT is better, but you probably won't be able to use all the card's power anyway. If you can wait a month or two, then a 6600GT is the best price/performance choice. The ATI x700 series would be a good choice except they appear to be PCIe only and not AGP. -Kevin On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 16:41:27 -0500, Howie Hamlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Would you even bother running hl2 on an amd 1800+ with 1gb ram (even with a > high end graphics card)? > > Just wondering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:136773 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
