5900XT on HL2

[westie]

Do you think a Nvidia 5900XT 128MB will run HL2 well or at least playable on decent settings?

Athlon xp 2800+
Corsair 512mb ram
Western Digital Caviar 120gb x2 ( total of 240 )
Hightech Ati 9800 pro 128mb IceQ Build

Will this be able to run hl2 at full spec with a decent frame rate ?

Oops sorry i wil post tis in the other forum.

It should be able to play at high settings, low res, or a medium res and medium settings.

 

[Nex321]

You should be able to play it on max settings with 2 AA and 4 AF

Admin, just post the min specs and close. There are no official benchmarks out yet. You can check the stress test benchmarks, but the actual gameplay might be optimized better or much worse.

People bullshitting other people who need answers to hardware questions should be banned from that respective forum (hardware forum.)
When we're talking about expensive hardware you either tell the truth or shut the hell up.

It'll run it very well...just at DX8.1 instead of DX9. It's not a big loss in graphical fancyness though.

Any card from DX9 Era up will run at full decently

you mean 5900 FX right? or 9800 XT? not that it makes a HUUUGE difference. both are great cards i think.

No he's right. He has a Geforce FX 5900xt. For the Fx cards, XT is the same as SE, although it's not nearly as badly crippled as the SE's are in Radeons.

It will be extremely playable as it runs the game in DX8.

that's WEIRD... i think nVIDIATi is one company... it's a secret though.

 

[westie]

Where can I see some benchmark results?

It's fairly important to post all of your system specs, not just your video card. The game will run like crap if you have a 5900 but only a Celeron 1.2Ghz and 128mb RAM. Post the rest of your specs and we will have a better idea of how it will run.

 

[westie]

I have:
2.4GHz P4
256mb Ram (it will be upgraded soon)
I dont think you need any other specs.
