So...how does it run?

[-Psy-]

...and does it spread the game fully across all cores?

 

[And1]

I can smoothly run it on my P4 HT 3.0 GHz / 2GB RAM / X1600 Pro 256 MB
I pressed the recommended settings button, then turned up the resolution to 1280x1024; anisotropic = trilinear; v-sync off;

no problems with great amounts of zombies --> perfect

Yeah I was really surprised at just how well my computer runs. Running on medium (defualt) and there is no fps issues. Very happy I bought for pc

 

[Omnomnick]

Pentium D Dual Core 2.8Ghz
RAM -> 2GB
ATI Radeon 1950GT Sapphire
19" Digital Monitor @ Max Res for the Graphics card

Runs really well, better than TF2 for me actually. The only time I get the slightest lag is when the horde are all running down a hallway at me while me and my team mates are shooting. And its only about 20FPS still.

I love it, Massive Optimization ftw.

 

[Eejit]

E8400 @3ghz
8800gt
4gb ram

All settings other than AA maxed at 1680 with nary a slowdown.

 

[Ennui]

Athlon 64 X2 5600+, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 7900GS

Runs smoothly (like a dream actually) with across-the-board maximum settings at 1280x1024. God, I love the Source engine.

 

[Satsumomo]

E8400 @ 3.6Ghz
4GB DDR2 @ 1000mhz
9800GX2
WinXP x64

Runs perfectly smooth with everything at max... except that it stutters constantly like HL2 1.0. I'm still trying to resolve that problem.

 

[Ren.182]

Q6600 at stock speeds
4GB DDR2 OCZ Vista Gold
BFG 8800GTX OC
Win Vista 64-bit

Runs fine, all full at 1920x1200. No problems at all.

 

[Top Secret]

E7200 2.53 @ 3.53 (Thought it was funny)
2 GB DDR2 @ 820
4850
WinXP 32 Bit

1360x768
4xAA
16xAF

All settings max

Never a hitch.

 

[Iron_cube]

Playable on my pentium4.

 

[Shamrock]

On my laptop;
2.26 ghz Centrino 2
4 GB RAM
512MB 9800 GTS
Vista Home Premium 64-bit

Runs flawlessly with everything on high except Page Pooled memory on medium, and AA on 2x and AF on 4x.

This game makes me dance.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

No slow downs for me whatsoever, running on a quad core and it seems well optimised (Q6600 @ 3.0ghz).

Playing around with infected classes (grain is from screen effects btw)

 

[Druckles]

Surprisingly well at 1920x1200.

 

[Someone]

runs perfect here also...all settings on high

Athlon 64 X2 5400+ black edition@3200
8800gt (not oc'ed
4gig ram (not oc'ed)
Vista 32bit
22" Asus Widescreen (max res)

 

[giant384]

i get the same performance as i do with TF2, if not better with maxed everything with 16AA and 16af

 

[bam23]

anyone trying to run this game with anything in the range of an x850?

edit - nvm, just tried it. surprisingly playable.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Surprisingly, I am able to run it maxed, no AA, 1680x1050.

 

[perrkele]

It runs much better than I expected. Been playing it on my old comp at low/medium settings and 1024x768 and haven't really noticed any slowdown at all. The specs of that comp are:

Athlon xp-m 2400+ @ 2.2Ghz
GeForce 6800GT
1GB ddr2
Windows Xp

In the beginning it seemed to stutter at parts, probably due to it loading all the map stuff for the first time, but after the first playthrough the stuttering vanished altogether. It looks quite ok for being played on low/medium settings and a low resolution too. I'd say you don't have to worry about the game running even if you don't have a top of the line computer. At least the demo levels work great.
