Dirk_Nowitzki November 22, 2004 Share Dirk_Nowitzki Member November 22, 2004 SO I guess I gotta buy a new video card to play this game - been running a GF4 Ti 4200. I need to get one cheap though. What do you guys recommend on a budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk_Nowitzki November 22, 2004 Author Share Dirk_Nowitzki Member November 22, 2004 I'm good, missed you guys too Still don't have a decent broadband connection for gaming so I've just been playing Battlefront in my spare time - which always seems to be diminishing. But word on the street is they now have dsl in my neighborhood, I just need to see how much it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckleslove November 22, 2004 Share chuckleslove Member November 22, 2004 Im still running a GeForce 4 TI 4400 and it runs HL2 fine. What to buy depends on how much you are willing to spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConGregation November 22, 2004 Share ConGregation Member November 22, 2004 Half life, from what I have read, is very scalable. So you would probably be ok with the one you have. But there have been pictures showing the difference between directx 7 - 9 and its pretty drastic. Lets just say with an up to date video card this game looks simply amazing. But it is not necessary.

General J November 23, 2004 Share General J Member November 23, 2004 Dirkus! You've returned! Been in the same boat without a connection (except at parent's house and work) but I should have my DSL modem this week as long as UPS actually delivers something on time for once. I am running a 9600xt and it runs just fine. Of course, with details all on high, AA and AF, you will run into more than a few brick walls as far as fps goes. But I just beat the game today, and was very impressed with it's overall performance. Try ATI's trade up program. I believe you can trade in any card for $50 towards a newer card. But, then again, you have to buy directly from ATI so $50 covers the mark up. I think I am going to wait till the x850 comes out, and then snatch me up a x800. Good to see you around!

TheBugs November 23, 2004 Share TheBugs Member November 23, 2004 AHH ITS DIRK! now if only Barto would somehow come back, this would be incredible! ihave a 9600pro and it runs HL2 just fine on 1024x768 settings= normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk_Nowitzki November 23, 2004 Author Share Dirk_Nowitzki Member November 23, 2004 Ok, I'll see if I can talk the Mrs. into letting me buy the game tonight and we'll see if the old bird will run it. If not I'll have to decide between the Ipod and a video card for Christmas :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
