I very much doubt HL2 will run better than bf1942, bf1942 runs at 60 fps in intensive combat with everything on high. Idle the game does 110fps. And that's on a xp2000+ 512 ddr and a geforce 4, so DICE did a decent job I think.

Hehe, about the o/c'ing:
I have a cousin running a P4 2.4C 800mhz FSB @ 3.6, idle temps are 34C and full load 41C, but hes on 12v peltier cooling :/ .
Pretty awesome to see an overclock that high though, kinda makes you sucks youself up.
Anways, i gues itll run ok ym on p4 2.4B 533mhz FSB, 512mb DDR333, and gf4mx440, 5400 rpm maxtor hd....altho im very like to get a new card b4 its out (w00t!)...anyways, gr8 to know it can run on lower-end systems, i can load it up on my backup system with a pIII 750 @ 1000ghz, 64mb Savage 2000, and 384mb PC133 SDRAM...heheheheh..WEll, cya guys!

They can run in Direct X 9 if you have the latest drivers. I am running DX9 with a ti4200.

No no. That's EXACTLY what you should be getting. In fact... YOU ARE lucky the game runs so smooth. A 1.6gig 533 is okay (if you are an AMD nut, it's about an Athlon XP1700-1800). 128MB of ram, even Windows is slow with such a tiny amount (minimum to run winxp should be 256. If you are interested in games 512, if you are a nut like most of us... 1gig). For heaven's sake, even your hard drive is slow !And that video card! My god! a GeForce FX 5200 is 60$!!! It's 128MB and way faster then that tiny thing. I bet even counter-strike in 800x600 isn't at 60FPS constent...
Anyways, I'm amazed you can even run the game! and 16-20 is way more then I expected for such a low computer. No offense, but most people are getting 16-20 in Halo 2 with twice that computer.

Umm... it doesnt run in Open GL. Half-Life2 is a direct x game....Originally posted by manny_c44
The water is really beautiful. And the dune buggy is ablast to drive and run over people with.
One thing worth mentioning is that all of the levels (ranging from wide open outdoor areas to water filled levels) all run at the same FPS. So people won't have to turn down settings if they come upon an ocean view or a wide open level. The source engine handles everything well...its just a shame it runs in OpenGl, because that really detracts from it.
I actually belive that the beta is optimized quite well and is a good representation of final game code running on your machine, atleast the more complete levels.

haha, here's mine
AVERAGE FPS 60fps+ never below 40fps even in intense battle out or indoors (maybe i could push it to 36fps but it was very very hard to do so)
SETTINGS: AA 4x AF 8x 1280x1024(windowed - cuase thats all i could do) with AIM, WINAMP, MIRC running and everything in the game cranked.
i love my 9800
specs in my sig.
EDIT: everything in my sig is how it was when i ran it, nothing is oc'd.
2nd EDIT: oh i had EAX sound on aswell. You may not think this lags, but on my old comp i coudln't run EAX sound on cuase my fps shot down to low in Americas Army, maybe it was just an americas army glitch, but either way, the setting was on and you should know this.

I can play the game if i look at the ground, average of 10-20 fps. I can get playable fps in a small room or small map. None of the effects look good at all.

not only that...but hes lieing as well....there is something wrogn with the beta where if you do certain things your game crashes or goes to like 2 fps for a few seconds because of some memory leak bug. Of course this is just because its a shit beta. Anyways, try taking an RPG and going to the cool e3 tech demo room and shoot thing wood platform that has the barrels. It will **** up any system for a few seconds real nice.
