the minimum specs are always misleading

Its meant to tell u the minimum where the game will give satisfactory results ....

POP:WW does not need H/W T&L where in POP SOT needs it. So POP:WW runs does not gurantee POP SOT running.

WTF ??? both games require HT&L ... does PoP WW run on Intel Extremem Gpahics ??? No it doesn't .... PoP SoT requires Pixel Shaders .. while PoP WW doesn't ....

Will F.E.A.R run on the following configurations?

My Current Configuration:
AMD 2000+ XP
384mb ram
Geforcefx 5200 128mb
Asus nforce a7n-266vm se

I was able to play demo in medium with shadows turned off and everything else in medium

When I upgrade my pc:
AMD 3000+
Asus A8N-E Motherboard
Geforce 6200 pcie 256mb

Can i play f.e.a.r in high graphics settings with all shadows turned on and everything set to high?

Also comes a question here is whether is it right to upgrade my pc now or should i wait some more months.



Please help friends......

No way dude .... also u need atleast 1.5GB of ram to load high res. textures ....

U'll need atleast a 6800GT to give u decent fps at high settings ... that too with soft shadows off ....

I thought that my upgrade configuration will be able to run F.E.A.R :-( . So can you please suggest me a budget pc to play this game in high settings? My budget only for cpu motherboard and graphics card is 17000. Please help.

Intel 845gl dosent support pixel shading,so probability of the game working is very low.

It'll run F.E.A.R. ... but not at high settings .. with a 6200 medium is enough ..... why don't you get a 6600 .. they cost really low now-a-days ....

Yes DeathVirus is right, there's hardly any diffrence bteween prices of 6200 and 6600. the 6600 has 8 Pixel pipelines, which translate into huge performance, the 6600 Sells for Rs.5,200 from XFX.

Run Smooth? :lol: If you try to Run Half Life 2 on Intel i845 or i865 chipset, you would only see the 'LOADING' Sign, after which the game will return to Desktop. Half Life 2 requires a Hardware DX9 Supported Graphics Card with Atleast 128MB Video Ram and Pixel Shader 1.5+ Support.
Miniumum Requirements of Half Life 2:
1.2GHz Processor
256MB Ram
Direct X 7 Level Graphics Card
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
4.5GB Hard Disk Space
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection Required

Recommended System Requirements:
2.4GHz Processor
512MB Ram
Direct X 9 Level Graphics Card (nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Or Higher)
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
4.5 Hard Disk Space
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection Required

These Requirements are taken from Half Life 2 Box Which i am holding right now! you can try to give a Blind shot and try to run the game with a Software Such as 3D Analyzer, but really that won't help, just get a FX5200, it costs a Puny Rs.2,200 and you'll be able to play Half Life 2@ 1024x768 High Quality.

yes FX 5200 is a AGP 8x Card, which will Scale Down and Run on a AGP 4x Slot as well. seems you have 'older' i845xx Chipsets, they didn't came with an AGP Slot. in this case, you have to upgrade your motherboard. worry not, nowadays you can get Excellent performing Motherboards at tasty prices, your main concern should be availbilty, you see nowadays Socket A (AMD XP series of Processors, e.g. 2200+) and Socket 478 (Intel Pentium 4 Prescott etc) processors have been discontinued and Both AMD and Intel are now focusing on AMD Athlon X2 and Intel Extreme Edition Processors respectivily, getting Motherboards which support older Celeron, Pentium 4 processors isa tough task. your best bet is to get some from Lamington Road, that too i don't guarantee. it's likely, you would find Socket 478 MSI (Micro Star International) and some Gigabyte Boards There. which reigh from Rs.3,200 Onwards. :D

hl2 runs on i845 chipset @ my frnd's place. all it needs is 256 megs of ram.(forget the smoothness bit though).u may also consider gettting a pci version(not pci-e) of fx5200 though availablity is a issue.

I don't think PCI FX5200 even exist, besides, it's time the guy should update, on a i845 Half Lifge 2 won'r run, it will crawl, if that's your intention............

No it runs pretty well actually with enough RAM, but with a nice dosage of graphical glitches (especially with the water and some of the more complicated textures that do refraction and all). Framerate would largely not be a problem but in large or complicated levels, there would be some stuttering. If gameplay is ur chief concern, no problemo. Otherwise, depending on how much cash u got, u can either get an FX5200 PCI as already suggested, or better still, upgrade! :)
