My computer will barely run HL2... just over the 1.2 mark and a R9000 =(
I will not even think of buying HL2 until I have a computer that will actually run it smoothly.
How crappy computers are you guys talking about here? The Source engine scales really far down and still looks reasonable. I was playing CS:S on a Geforce3 earlier, and I'm guessing it dropped the settings near the bottom but I was getting 100+ FPS... Doom 3 is nothing but bloatware compared to HL2.
