I was just screwing around with the settings in Counter-Strike: Source, and low-and-behold I came across a very good setting selection; at least for me. I get an average of 39.95FPS in the stress test with the following settings:
Model Detail: High
Texture Detail: High
AA: None
AF: None
Water: Reflect All
Shader: Low
Shadow Detail: High
Vertical Sync: Off
Resolution: 1024x768
All this with the following system:
Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
512MB
GeForce FX 5200 128MB
I was quite amazed myself. This proves the flexibility of the Source engine, and lord does it feel good. Yes, I know, not the best in the world, but for you people who think you can't run Half-Life 2, rethink it.
