oiling the wheel might speed up your system

[Kel Thuzad]

what about this...
Tnuderbird 1.33
512mb RAM
GF4 Ti 4200

should be fine...?
i ran D3 on medium and it ran smoothly, also FarCry - on High (not highest)

 

[Maelstrom]

What a useless thread. Seriously, I think the valid and interesting DISCUSSION BASED topics are getting raped and hidden by crap like this.

1) Wrong forum
2) Read the min specs if you want to know if you can play!

What's up with dudes showing systems that surpass min tested specs by more than 600mhz or having top-end graphics cards being 'unsure'?

No kidding it's a 'pimp my rig' thread. Guess what? Noone cares how great your computer is!

And even if you think it's a valid question because you want to play with everything maxed out, I have an idea: Let the game come out, and if it's too slow, upgrade. Quit asking people who have no idea because they haven't played yet either, when a perfectly sane (logical assumption, no source suggested) testing team at Valve, who have played and tested the game on various systems, already told you.

Close this thread or move it, but leave the forums for topics which actually serve a purpose.

 

[MaStA]

I have an Aeolus geforce fx 5700 128mb. Do i need to upgrade this to a higher one. I would like to play half life 2 with evrything on full including antristropic filtering.

if you ran doom3 and farcry you shud be cool

 

[MaStA]

i could run far cry on the highest but only if i turned the shadows and the lighting down to low.

 

[Yogibbear]

how do i check what direct x version i have....... i was looking through control panel...... apps......even the direct x folder and it doesn't say..... and then in the nvidia nview app......
????

 

[denlife7]

Perhaps people could refer to the required system specifications that have been provided not only by various Valve employees over time, but also from the magazine reviews that are available....

this thread sucks, and is nothing more than a my rig is bigger than yours thread....

perhaps I'll start a thread on comparing our c0ck lengths...

go to start menu, run, type dxdiag and hit enter. It should tell you on the main page.

Damn that's funny...

Is the little fella taking any medication?

 

[PlasmaBurnz]

I was putting some cod liver oil in his food for a while, but the poor guy got the runs.

The little tike also has a tendancy of chewing on the molex cables, can't be good for his heart.
