Getting a high-definition rendering with my game copy

[zebulon]

Is it possible, with our own copy of HL2, to get a HD rendering of a scene like the ones VALVe has on the official site ? Or did they use some home-made tool ?

Or maybe their screenshots look very sharp because the images are not in full screen...

Enlighten me

Maximum graphics settings. Beyond that, there's nothing to do.

they used max res when taking the screen then scaled it down

OK, thanks guys :thumbs:

Which leads me to other questions : who's the HL² player with the biggest PC, to your knowledge (not especially on this forum) ? And which performances does he obtain ?

Jim Biggins an Athlon 64 FX-55 on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, with 2048MB of Corsair TwinX-4400 DDR. He also has Dual XFX GeForce 6800GTs connected via SLI.

He gets about 8fps at 800x600 with everything on low. I think something might have gone wrong there

yes theres something wrong... he should use higher settings for good fps... I got 5800 Ultra and when im running hl2 with 800x600 i get something like 10fps... when i change resolution to 1280x1024 I get 40-50fps with all settings max.

I think he should upgrade.

That's exactly what I told him!
