HL2 requirements

Originally posted by Floppyman The way I look at it, if ATI is willing to bundle the game with their midgrange cards (the 9600XT for instance) then it must run fine on them. If not, what would be the point of bundling the game?

ATi is also bundling the game with the 9600 Se:

And as Dragon said, not many good things have been said about 'Se' cards (The ATi Equivilent to an nVidia MX card)
Quite Confusing...
Hopefully my 9600 Reg will perform well...

Yeah.. there was something wrong.. I turned up AA and AF all the way in the ATI control panel. Now I can run it just fine, but prolly not as well as a GF4 Ti4200...
Never fear though, I'll throw a birthday party just for the money

hmmm. 9600se, eh?

[Rof_lmao]

9600 se is basically a oced 9200 pro, its liek the 9800 se, which is supposedly like the 9600....i have aslo heard that nvidia is retunning their new cards due to the bad performance they are getting on half life.... and the xt series cards also haev half-life free.... im getting teh 9800 pro, and the 9600xt for teh rig im selling to a kid(keeping the 9800, and half-life coupon)

The SE series has 64 bit memory, whatever that means.

If u've bought and ATI Radeon 9600 XT like i have it is the recommended graphics card for the full potential of hl2. Applies to 9600 se, pro and xt and then you have the 9700 and 9800 models that might improve it a bit but then again the 256 mb 9800 won't really accomplish much seeing no game need 256 mb graphics card.

dont forget the FX5950

64bit memory?

my 5950 has 256bit memory, laughs all the way home

Oh I see... the bits thing is like the bit thing with the processors so it can transfer more data.
