[joule]

What are you talking about?

I'm a 1 block away from recommended...;(

 

[sublidieminal]

How long is this thing supposed to take?

 

[Time2Choose]

Not too shabby :afro:

 

[goldenboi]

You have to search the site for HL2... THEN hit the tester @ the site.

 

[Ames]

How long is this thing supposed to take?

Open it in IE if you're stuck on the loading screen.

 

[goldenboi]

here's mine:

here's mine:

Meh...shouldn't trust this test. I got a 9600 Pro and I still got higher...

Oh. Well, I can't seem to copy and paste the URL.

But anyways, I got one 1.5 blocks below the recommended.

 

[sublidieminal]

Wow, reccomended PC is pretty up there.

 

[Ames]

Oh. Well, I can't seem to copy and paste the URL.

But anyways, I got one 1.5 blocks below the recommended.

What?!?!? You changed your name too? ;(

Tredoslop = Prince of China

and now

User Name = Joule

;(

OT: It must be the P4 3.06..

 

[goldenboi]

Meh...shouldn't trust this test. I got a 9600 Pro and I still got higher...

hmm... How much ram and whats ur CPU? I have a AMD Barton 2600+ 333MHz FSB, 9800 Pro 128 MB, 512MB PC4000 HyperX ram.
Maybe I should get a new CPU...

 

[joule]

OT: It must be the P4 3.06..

Yes, sadly. It had to be done. Someone was trying and trying to hack into my account. So, I had to take the necessary step of changing my user name. Sorry.
Read here.
BTW: What were you referring to when you said P4 3.06?

 

[DarkSonic]

Great, now it's broken...Keeps saying cannot continue due to techincal difficulties.

 

[zer0kewl]

Uhm i did't expect this for result.

 

[Greatgat]

One block away from the top. Of course, it does recommend an ATI card but I have my 6800GT OC'd to Ultra speed.

Other Specs, because I love my computer:
1 gb RAM
250 mb HD
the above video card
SB Audigy 2
3.2 HT P4 (forgot about that)

Good stuff. It works for me...

 

[madFive]

hmm...mine seems to have less bars than everyone else's (the recomended specs are now only 4 bars from the very top)...wonder what that means...

stats.jpg

oh well...still above recomended... btw - i have a 3.2ghz proc - any idea why its only reading 2795mhz? or is that the same thing?

edit: crap - bad link...sorry, maybe i'll put it on another host later...

 

[The Terminator]

Im 2 and a half away. Pretty good.

 

[MetaKnight]

"Unfortunately we were unable to identify some hardware components of your system, and therefore it is not possible to provide accurate performance analysis."

...

 

[redundant]

How come the recommended PC is different in some people's pictures?

Weird.

Edit: Ohhhh, I get it. I'm a quick one...

 

[diluted]

It says the recommended card is a RAdeon x800, so if you have anything lower than that, you'll get below recommended?

 

[bam23]

one away from max.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Im right at the bottom of the green 2.6 ghz p4, 512 ram, win xp and 9600XT 128mb. i thought id be a tad better...since when is a x800 the recommended!? overkill tbh...

 

[Malfunction]

This test doesn't work well. Anyone without an ATI card will get a bogus score. It even says that HL2 "may not support other graphic chipsets other than ATI". Looks like something has to be upgraded.

 

[x2501x]

This thing is pretty messed up.

I have a P4 3ghz, 1 Gig RAM, and a 9800pro128

The meter shows me one away from the top. That's great...except I don't believe it. My computer is pretty good, but not THAT good. How can I be above the recommended with a 9800pro? Sure I have more RAM etc...but it doesn't add up. I think perhaps some things like free disk space skew the results...150+GB.

 

[Langues]

Thats very neat indeed

Exactly what I am talking about. It seems anyone with at least a 9800 pro, Intel P4, and 512mb RAM automatically gets past anyone with any AMD and nVidia card. Or so it seems..

 

[Langues]

Lol thats funny. I chose age group 17+ and Barbie was there.

 

[fabianoag]

Sounds spiffy, but when I run it I get an error saying "Cannot continue because we couldn't identify one of your hardware components", could it be my graphics card because I'm running the Omega drivers?

 

[P43.2/1Gig/X800P]

Here is mine Thank you

 

[Vegeta897]

I'm right in the middle of minimum and recommended.

1.6 GHZ
512 RAM
ti4400

 

[zer0kewl]

It says the recommended card is a RAdeon x800, so if you have anything lower than that, you'll get below recommended?

wrong valve recommed 9800xt

 

[Vegeta897]

wrong valve recommed 9800xt

Actually, Valve just said a DX 9 card...

But this test recommends an x800.. I think...

 

[el Chi]

I'd take that thing with shovels of salt.

 

[diluted]

I thought the 9600xt was on the low end of the 'recommended' cards? Oh well.... I got below 'recommended' with my 9600xt and p4 3.0ghz but I know my computer will run HL2 fine

 

[Asus]

This has been around for awhile. Not the most accurate but it's a lot better than that other site that had been floating around.

It only shows me 3 bars above recommended. hehe
Mine is even OCed to 2300MHz.

 

[el Chi]

This thing is absolute bollocks.
Half-Life 2 "Recommended" PC - P4 2.4GHz; ATi x800; 512Mb memory. I am a block below.
Doom 3 "Recommended": Athlon 2.4GHz; GeForce 6800 Ultra; 1024Mb memory. I am five blocks below.
Far Cry: P4 2.5GHz; 128 Mb graphics card;1024Mb memory. I am three blocks above.
It clearly makes no sense.


nw909 - Where would one get one's hands on said piece of software?

 

[nw909]

I'd rather just take the Valve graphics stress test.
