Radeon 9800 Pro Good Enough for Half-Life 2? - Page 2  

so I did some more research on my own question and I found out that the Radeon 9600 would play Half Life 2 better than the Nvidia 5650 card would. Supposedly I could actually turn on AA and AF and play it from a decent resolution like 1024x768. Anyone with opinions please chime in.

Ati has worked with Valve for HL2 and thier logo is on the box. It seems from reading that ATI cards play HL2 better than Nvidia.

I am not saying ATI is better!

I wouldn't count on AA though....my 6600GT(supposed 9800pro to X700 equivelent from nVidia) on my 2.4 Ghz takes quite a hit with AA on. Although really I've very little desire to have it on as the game looks fine IMO without it....

AA...meaning Anti Aliasing?..Mine seems to look fine too..no real jaggies as they call it on my Sony 50in LCD rptv...have ATI 9800 AIW pro. I have it set to off.

I have my settings set to whatever the recommended is...looks awesome.
