How do you think a 64mb ti4200 card will handle future games like halflife2,

It will be okay. Not great, but okay. But it's really too early to
say since there's no demos.

My 3.0 p4/Ti4200 combo plays everything I run, just fine. Most still
at 1024*768 medium to max detail. But games like Halo I had to drop
800*600, still max detail.

It will be fine, unless you want to get caught up in the latest and
greatest. It's your money

To be honest... I HAVE NO IDEA... I ran across it and downloaded last
month. Its legit and all... not the game. About 120mb.

Maybe from a gaming site like happy puppy... I just DONT KNOW!

Here is the file name:

source_HDR02.exe (119,125kb)

Here are some sources:

Enjoy... let us know how it runs and your hardware.

I've seen it on a Ti4200 / 5900 & 5200... the 5200 was jerky, but
looked good. Ti4200 looked the best... 5900 was the smoothest.

Its a video, it isn't the HL2 engine being rendered in realtime.

Oh... Are you sure? People make "video demos" with real-time
rendering... quite a bit.

It doesn't have the artifacts of a video... Its an EXE file as well...
And it runs like crap on a 5200fx, but runs very smoothly on a Ti4200.
Running other videos on the 5200fx look just as good as a 5900...

Videos don't require 3DCard power... Even a GF2mx can play a video
file as good as any modern card... as long as theres enough CPU behind
it.

Thanks... It is a very HQ video... and I'm watching it on a 19" flat
tube monitor...

With that in mind... Half Life 2 *WILL* need at least the power of the
5900/9800 to get good performance...
