I played the whole game and finished earlier in the year. It played quite well then on my ATI AIW 9800Pro. I upgraded my video card to an ATI AIW X800 XT and thought I would try the game again to see how it looked at higher settings. I did this with a bunch of my other games and they all play really nice at 1600x1200 with all settings on high. I even played Doom 3 and COD 2 Demo with all settings on high at 1600 with no problems at all. Now HL2 seems to pause or hesitate (although slight) from time to time. It never noticed this before. It does not matter if I have it on the highest settings or on the lowest settings. It seems to do the same thing. Anyone else notice this?
I uninstalled and deleted all traces of HL2 on my computer. I reinstalled (from DVD) and it does the same thing. I did not try it with my OLD video card before installing new, but I have no problem with any other game. I also cleaned the machine of all traces of the old drivers before installing. The other difference might have been the drivers. I had Catalyst 4.10 with the old card and now have 5.9.
