Love this game. EDIT- yes, I did the sketchy adapter for GPU power. Fortunately at that time, Dell's 300 watt PSUs were good. EDIT #2 - Note in 2004, many people were still using CRT Monitors (I had a Sony Trinitron Monitor). That made the lower resolutions look MUCH better imo.

It's hard to understand just how powerful of a graphics card the Radeon 9700 Pro was when it came out in 2002. Before that you couldn't play games that look like HL2, then afterwards all of a sudden you had twice as much performance and DirectX9. The 2003 Half Life 2 demo ran on a 9800 Pro. I played HL2 myself on a 9600 Pro on mostly medium settings.

[@juanme555]

19:16 The issue there is that assets in the UI and texture packs are always automatically switched when you switch resolutions whether you know it or not, most games made after 2020 load super SUPER low resolution assets when you are feeding the game less than 1920 horizontal pixels and 1080 vertical pixels , some games that are made by really REALLY mediocre programmers actually dont have a lower res asset to load and will start displaying the 1080p asset all wrong, badly shaped, UI cutting off, etc. Half-Life is a genuine computer game, it looked like a 2009 ps3 era game in 2004 when the graphical powerhouse was Resident Evil 4 and GTA San Andreas , it was coded by the most talented programmers of all time in the gaming industry, it has natively designed huds and textures and models that will switch appropiately to all resolutions and aspect ratios you throw at it, in 2004 CRTs were mainstream but 16:9 lcds were on the come up, they only launched the game on PC, they had to cover all range of hardware. The real mistery is why doesn't cyberpunk 2077 behave better with sub 1080p resolutions and aspect ratios other than 16:9 ????

[@therealagarangguy]

Fun fact: the source engine every ms counts a frame so if you go over 1000fps the game starts breaking, the best example is TF2.

[@photonboy999]

Half-Life 3? Don't hold your breath. Gabe Newell is on record RECENTLY saying it hasn't released because he saw these games as NEEDING some new mechanic or idea that pushed gaming forward. Things that happened with HL1 and HL2. And he couldn't come up with one for HL3. He did make HL Alyx to push VR. He said it would be EASY to just release HL3 to push the story forward but that wasn't enough reason. SO... can anybody think of a reason too make HL3 other than story? I sure can't. I don't think we NEED a reason but Newell does. So HL3 seems dead.

i think the most important thing is that the source 1 engine mainly uses the CPU to render frames as many people in 2004 didnt want to spent $300 for 3D processing so the source 1 engine was hardcoded to render everything in the CPU so your GPU wont matter too much, good video though!

[@Q36BN]

There are some things, for example a bridge later on in the game, which even with Anti-Aliasing enabled is still pixelated, as if AA in-game is not affecting that bridge. So going 8K or even higher gives you smooth edges. I haven't checked this game for many years, so maybe Valve fixed this, but hey, back then when I was playing with high resolutions like 8K, 10K, 12K It was nice to look at the images. Obviously i wasn't plying at those resolution as it was a slideshow. I was taking screenshots and appreciating all the details later by inspecting the images :D I also bought this in "orange box" and had to open steam account for the games included in the orange box.

you could try running multiple instances of half life 2 simultaneously. I don't think the game uses more than 2 cores( if not less), so running multiple you could really make your pc roll up it's sleeves and ask you to hold it's beer. I think the game has a build in fps counter through the console, so you would just have to combine the fps from each instance. If you can get 1000ish fps @4k on one, I think it might actually scale ok. My guess is that if you should be able to get about 4000 to 5000fps combined. Absolutely loved the video

Enable AA as it deals with the jagged edges. Higher resolutions mean that it isn't needed. Bearing in mind, HL2 was mostly dependent on your CPU. So anyone could play it.

My GT1030 x I5 3570 - runs it just fine. Fun Stuff. Big Thumbs Up.

less than 1000 fps? literally unplayable

You could literally run this game on a theater at this point 😂
