Wow. incredible that 8800 series is on top. I would have thought that some mid-range solution would have been there rather than the high end. Poor ATI looks like its getting no love from Valve customers. :confused:

I had no problems with my GeForce 4 MX 4000 with CS:S, as the whole Source-engine is so CPU dependet, that even a poor GFX solutions will be doing fine enough for low settings with DX7. (Not a constant 100FPS, but it stays above 60 for most of time, if the CPU is sufficent.)

...unless you are THE übergamer (Having 1600x1200, 8xAA, 16xAF and EVERYTHING @ ÜBER-HIGH settings is a MUST, or otherwise it looks UNPLAYABLE). Those poor rednecks shouldn't be using steam. ... ;)

I am one of those "people who shouldn't be using STEAM" according to some here and play DOD:S just fine at 60FPS with my 32MB Ati Mobile Radeon 9000 on the Dx7 codepath and get 60+FPS most all the time. And tbh it don't look all that bad, sure you don't have the fancy shaders, but you can play at a decent resolution and speed on your 4 year old mid-range laptop instead of spending 1000$ every year upgrading the latest and greatest computer. I guarentee I have just as much fun at Dx7 as you do on Dx9

Still many ppl play HL1 games and many have 17" CRT screens with 100Hz@800x600. Old games rock :D

i know numerous people who game on 800x600 because of the better fps they get, because they are more concerned about performance, so i would reconsider when you say "thats just sad."

+1

I know people with good rigs playing at full low settings 800*600 to have huge fps like if they were playing quake 3. I do not, but to each is own
