Counterstrike: Source on shitty system?

HELP_ME · 03-09-2007, 04:59 PM

i was wondering if i would be able to run computer trike course on my shitty computer? here are my specs:

Pentium 4, 1.70 GHz
256 mb ram
Radeon 7000/VE - 64 mb card i think

and.... i have directX 9 and i dunno what else but would it run decently on this comp or would it be like complete shit and not even worth it?

i cant find em. But theres specs if you search google.
I am sure they list everything thats needed.

the ram may be the worse part.

Enjoy.

well i know that i pass all the bare minimum requirements but i want to know if game play will be bad or what. i have confidence it will run but probably with like 10FPS

Quoted straight from the steam website on the CounterStrike: Source details page

Quote:

Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor, 256MB RAM, DirectX 7 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP/ME/98, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Recommended: 2.4 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX 9 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

So basically, it will install and run fine, but you really wont have it looking nice at all and it will be a bit jerky... from what i can gather your graphics card is only DX8 which is a major drawback in this case

it is? casue when i just checked which directX i had it said directX 9...

**dragon2309** · 03-09-2007, 06:23 PM

your software level is at DX9, yes, so will almost everyones be... i dont know if anyone can confirm what DX level the card is at... i think its 8, there are 2 diff levels, hardware and software.

*EDIT* - Some sources are stating your card is only DirecX 7.0, which is an even bigger drawback

I strongly suggest at least a graphics card update. If you can spare £60-£70 it would benefit you immensely

HELP_ME · 03-10-2007, 12:17 AM

Yes it will install. No it will not run CLOSE to decent, at all, even at the lowest DirectX level, lowest resolution, and lowest detail settings.

I ran it on my old system on low-medium graphics:

P4 1.8Ghz
256mb. RAM
64 mb. GeForce2 MX400

So i bet you can do it too
