Half-Life 2 Framerates Issues

[funnydude393]

ok i got a 7900 GTX okay, i play half-life 2 with settings maxed and i only get 40-50FPS, i sometimes go into the 30FPS!! i mean i guess half-life 2 was really meant for the ATi users right? is there anything i can do to tweak half-life 2 so i can get better FPS out of my card?

oh noes only 40-50FPS! heh

HL2 original or HL2 EP 1? Cause EP1 introduces HDR, which takes more of a perf hit making it more graphically intense than original HL2

those are very playable framerates, be happy, HL2 can still be a taxing game, make sure you have a clean system, minimal stuff running at startup, latest video card drivers on Nzone.com a new one was released today, make sure you are setting your game AA and AF from in-game, you should be able to run no problem at high resolutions with 4X AA and 16X AF

I have a 9800 Pro and max out everything except AA and still get those type of framerates.
