HalfLife 2 : ATi is the only route...

So are we going to be able to play this with the likes of a Ti4200 or am I going to have to spend £300 just to spend the game of the year.

With the detail turned down it will run rather nicely on a Ti 4200 I would imagine.

I feel ATI are the better company, producing some decent cards for decent prices. Nvidia should just make more decent chipsets for the ATI cards to run on

.
Then we just need to get Intel to give up and make, uh ... heatsinks, for AMD CPU's

I can dream

There you have it folks, there's much more coming tomorrow.

Maybe after this, we get a better idea so stay tuned to anandtech

I personally find it very, very worrying that the largest GFX card manufacturer in the world has released what is supposed to be a fully dx9.0 compliant card, which has then found to be, and let's be honest, complete and utter pants in full dx9.0

sure is!, hope we dont see a nVidia vs Ati 'battle' where some game manufacturers favour one or the other, youd need 2 pc's to play the latest games at a decent speed

Time for motherboard manufacturers to bring out boards with 2 AGP slotsthen, and we can flip between the graphics cards for whatever game suits it best!

Thank god for that.

/wanders off to pre-order

I think I will wait and see..... I base my choices on more than a couple of reviews on an un-released game......

I have ever bothered with AA or AF. I play the game for fun etc and not to gaze in awe at the graphics quality..... That just gets you killed

**Rory** · 11-09-2003, 08:06 PM

dumb idea what they are doing but i have a 9800 pro so I guess I can't moan about this game....hope others don't do this. :@

Well Doom3 is leaning towards the nvida side of things Rory

**Defiant** · 11-09-2003, 08:29 PM

I fancy a 9800Pro now !

oh no this is just ike owning a games console. Oh i cant play such and such game because i have the wrong hardware. Hope this doesnt start happening

**adwhitworth** · 11-09-2003, 09:28 PM

If this happens, I'll probably just end up never playing games. I hardly get time at the moment but love kicking some arse on F1 2002 when I get stressed. If that was the case, I'd probably just give up.

**Stringent** · 11-09-2003, 09:40 PM

I'm gonna wait for the NV40 chipset. Or maybe NV45, or NV50, hey, its gonna come!

Geforce FX2 or something ....

**Korky** · 11-09-2003, 10:48 PM

I feel sorry for these poor soles who always say nvidia will reign again
