Sorry but reading that someone actually was trying to stick up for Nvidia’s poor range FX products is just plain funny. I just used a 9800se with r60 core, and added a really big heat stock, jammed up the core and mem had no problems,(and modded the bios) guess unlike Doom3 HL2 detects you’re system, Nice!

Hmm lets add the FX series to the forbidden list and let it join Windows Millenium in peice. Geforce 4 and 6 are great cards but they never perfected series 5,

i have a hp a735w running on a athlon 3600+ and 512mb of RAM and i just upgraded my video card to a geforce 6600 Verto (AGP 2.0 8X), the only things you realy need to worry about is your power supply and the space inside your computer when you you a geforce, NVIDIA already has alot of instalation problems covered so that it is very easy and smooth to install

my system is amd 2600+ 1.9 ghz 512 ddr ram with a nvidia fx5200 128mb card.

I have a AMD 64 3200+ @ 2.0Ghz, 1GB pc3200 400mhz, and FX 5500 256mb, i can play with shadow,texture,model on high settings, but reflections on simple and shader on low..I run it at 800×600 and get fps from 60-80 normaly, at best 100-170. I thought fx series was suppose to be all about shading…Why isnt it reccomended that i set shader detail to high?!?

Man im using a crappy dell dimension 2400 with rubish intel celeron 2.4ghz and 512mb pc2700 ram. I have a geforce FX5500 PCI (Not PCI express) And i can play with setting on High with shadows and everythin on with no lags. And a FPS of above 60+, so FX cards must be more than capable

oh and also NO a 6600 is not just pci-express it is also AGP but its worthless unless you are considering the GT or Ultra series

By: Masta

Masta — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 12:32:25 +0000

let me clear this up,
yes hl2 will run on any system, depending on the level of graphics u put,the higher u put the more it will lag, on any system of course i mean atleast a 5200 or a radeon 9200 and up, i had a radeon 9800XT worked Flawleslly now u dont need to have a top of the range card, like sed before the 9600’s are more than capable of doing the job right, as for the other dude ur computer will have sever problems running hl2 ona 1.3 ghz and 256 ram

I am planning on getting a 3.4 Ghz Processor with 2GB of DDR2 533MHz, and for the graphics card a GeForce6600 512MB PCIe. I believe that the graphics card has 8 pixel pipelines and 128-bit memory interface, with a graphics clock speed of somewhere around 400mhz. Will Half-Life 2 run on full settings fairly smoothly with this?

oh yeah, and my comp is only about 2 years old, it’s a Dell. if that has anything to do with my processor which i now think is at least 2ghz although i can’t tell because i don’t have any games on my comp now.

By: joe

joe — Mon, 25 Jul 2005 07:02:13 +0000

hey can my comp run HL2, and CS Source?

1 gig RAM
GeFORCE FX 5500 Direct X9 128MB
Unsure about processor, although it’s an intel pentium 4 if that means anything
Cable Internet Connection
….anything else i should tell you?

will that work, or do i need something else.

i’m really not too good with comps so can somebody answer my question…PLEASE!?!?!?!?

I have a AMD Athlon 1.39ghz 1600+ XP and I run the game at the highest it can possibly run. I have 768mb of ram and a ATI Radeon 9250 with 256mb of video ram. My PC also runs Unreal Tourtament 2004, Far Cry, And DOOM 3 and the higest quality. This shows that you dont need a Pentium 4 with HT to run a good game. My computer runs a lot better than a pentium 4. My video card was only $70 on http://www.newegg.com . It runs games flawlessly.
