abso****inglutely beautiful!

[ktimekiller]

just finished lost coast, but surprisingly, i played on highest res, with highest settings, with full hdr and i ran around 10-30 fps. My piece of shit, 2.27ghz 512 mb ram 9800 pro ran it so well, good job valve.

 

[$kelet0r]

512mb RAM?
DID you meet the min system requirements or did you just play anyway?

 

[cadaver]

I have 512MB ram too. no problemo.

 

[CommandoSR]

I have a P4 1.8 Ghz, 1280 mb memory and 256Mb Radeon 9600XT and and it still played rather well, 25 fps.

 

[G-Dub]

what fps should i expect from my rig?

 

[destrukt]

uh-oh, devvo wants to increase his e-penis !

 

[G-Dub]

uh no, i would like to know the answer to my question.

 

[Przemek]

You can expect a very high fps with no slow downs, believe me. You've got nothing to worry about and don't tell me a number like 250fps makes you feel better
You've got an awesome computer many people in the world will never afford to buy

 

[jondy]

uh no, i would like to know the answer to my question.

Whatever, man, with the answers above (9600XT at 25fps) you should be able to figure it out, techhead like yourself

 

[Przemek]

That's an interesting thing we see here.
Why do people with super-high-end-mega-computers are worried about how well the games shall perform. There are two possibilities:
a) they want to show off
b) they do not know anything about computers

Anyway, destrukt's post was a bit rude, IMO.

 

[G-Dub]

well to Przemek and jondy, I don't know an awful lot and thought lost coast was going to give even my computer a beasting.

thanks for the replies anyways.

 

[Przemek]

Well, Devvo, now you know you have a monster at home

 

[giant384]

wow....how could the highest end parts give you bad performance

Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core CPU | 2GB DDR400 PC 3200 RAM | ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe | 256MB 7800GT | Audigy 2 ZS | Silent 550W PSU

i mean ****
how on earth could you not think that you'll be running the best games on high for the next 2 years 0.o

 

[Opheli@r]

huuu... i have a huge problem.... I have a 2.4 P4, 1024 Ram, a 6600 GT.... I ran HL2:LC at 1024x780 with everything high, and got 40-45.... but at some point it sttuters very BADLY! Any help?

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Total crap. Lost Coast is gonna chew it to pieces. You're lucky if you can run Quake 2 on it. Sorry, it's harsh I know but...

 

[SpArKs]

1024x780

Tone that down, or if you dont want to do that then set some/one of the details to meduim.

Trial and error.

 

[FRESCO_SUPREME]

I've got it working relatively well on Athlon XP 1800+, Radeon 9550 and 512MB ram.

Not with HDR on though, but running lost coast is certainly doable on lower spec.

turn the settings down......

im running it on mostly high, no aa, full hdr, with no noticeably slow frames... a64 3200+, 1gb, 6600GT

 

[Megalomaniac]

I was getting 15-20 fps

1280-1024(or whatever it is)
mid-textures and models
shaders and shadows full
no AA and trillier AF
And full HDR

i'm real proud of these on my piece of shit laptop

Needs more AA lol

 

[Javert]

It's not the number of MB you have, it's how you use it.

Good stuff, just got back from vacation and I'm pre-loading it now.

 

[Matt2005]

I have Intel P4 3.2Ghz, 1GB Ddr400, 1x6800GT.

I got around 20-40 fps with Full HDR,1280X1024 and all high apart from using medium settings for the AA and the other thing, filtering something :S

As soon as I maxed the whole lot out I got around 19fps lol...

Upgrading soon anyway, planning to get Dual Core AMD processor and 2x 7800GTX SLi :bounce:

Hehe. And yes I am newish to this forum so hello to everyone to.

Try 2x or maybe 4x AA, it should help a lot if laptop can handle it.

 

[Beerdude26]

I got 60 FPS with everything maxed out on 800X600

I was very surprised

 

[CyberPitz]

I'm glad I bought my x800 GTO. It let me play LC with all the bells and wistles. I had my 9600XT and was convinced I'd be doing everything meidum. Whew.

 

[J_Tweedy]

The way it is made means that the fps can drop very quickly when compared to other games- resulting in what seems like stuttering. With that setup you probably got what you should have.

 

[Space Farm]

It's the stutter bug Opheli@r. I'd say by the amount of posts 3/4 of Hl2 players have it.

 

[Link]

Yes, because everyone who doesn't have it comes in and starts a thread titled "OMG, I don't have the stutter bug"

 

[Sulkdodds]

I think I'm entirely justified in asking whether my system will run Lost Coast and if so how:

- 2.8 Athlon (except I suspect it runs rather slower than that)
- Radeon 9600 SE
- 521 MB Ram
- a hard drive full of shit that needs to be reformatted

Same as you, except I've got an XT and 1024 MB

I had everything maxxed out on 800X600, so you'll just have to do it on 640X480 with medium textures

 

[Sulkdodds]

Talk about D:, I'd rather have high resolution (it's what's most important to me) and awful textures.

Then do that lol
Just put AA a bit lower then

 

[Sulkdodds]

I don't think my card even supports AA. If I turn it on it has no discernable effect except for lagging a bit.
