There has been much speculation floating around various websites that Valve
are holding back the release of their HDR showcase, Half Life 2: Lost Coast at
the request of ATI.
Now Bit-Tech is reporting that Valve are still working hard on optimisations
and to determine the necessary hardware requirements for the game: at this
point, Lombardi could only suggest that gamers will need a CPU of 2.0Ghz to
3.0Ghz, and RAM may be 1GB or as high as 2GB. What is very clear is that a next
generation GPU, either NVIDIA's G70 or ATI's R520, will not be a requirement,
which Lombardi confirmed to them this morning. Half Life 2: Lost Coast
will be a freely available download to all owners of Half Life 2, via Steam, in
July. |
