When I saw that the HL2 demo came out today, I got and was expecting performance to be bad with my 5200 but I was curious to see how badly it ran before getting my 9800 pro with HL2 on Christmas.
It was actually pretty smooth on the settings it defaulted to (800x600, high shadows, low shader, simple water reflections, can't remember what else there was), but the game would slow up badly pretty much whenever a new weapon was taken out or a new sound was heard, so the first couple seconds it was pretty slow.
And there would sometimes be quick but big drops in the framerate, will this continue with my 9800 pro or is this the ram or cpu? Or is it just because it's a demo?
