The Specs, just the Specs

[scarecrow1]

Does anyone know what were the specs of the machine running the HL2 demo at the E3 show? the reason i am asking is because i was watching the E3 videos again and i was just realized that they ran pretty well with the odd slowdown but not much which is noticable and was just wondering how that might relate to the finished product. Anyaway anybody know the speces of the E3 machine?

i'm pretty sure it was using an ati radeon and had 2.3 mhz and 1 meg ram, soemthing like that? I am oretty sure others can be more specific, i just recall it being good.

Radeon what? 9600? 9800 pro?

I think you'll find this information in the Valve Info Thread or our Valve Speaks section.

Yeah, it was a 128meg 9800 pro... though I dont think they actucaly said pro.

 

[Alig]

I was under the impression the 9800pro was'nt even nearly out back then...i thought they used a 9700pro for HL2 videos, i may be wrong.

 

[Wesisapie]

yeah i was suprised how well it ran considering it was 2.3mhz, right Rupertvdb?

 

[Falcon(Nate)]

That's gotta be less than a 486...

Radeon what? 9600? 9800 pro?

It was a radeon 9800xt pro or whatever (the top of the range one) i think if i can recall they used a p4 running at either 2.8 or 3 ghz. it was radeon as they had done a deal to pack radeons with half-life. apparantly that half-life did not run well on nvidia's. but that could change if it ever gets released?
