Simply as that, the card is not sufficient to run HL2.
Sure, you can turn off most of the features, drop to lower res and it will run, but that's nothing I'd call sufficient.
If you've fun playing games like this, do so, you're free to choose.
But he was asking if his R9200 is able to run this game smoothly, and it's not.

the game is playable i am sure if you turn off all them artsy-farsty details and drop screen reso... if you can play doom3 that way im sure HL2 will run just fine

you think people print money ah? why dont you buy him one then?
and while youre at it can buy me one also! ahahahahahhaha

maybe start ARP fund for ppl who have lousy vid card?

There's nothing wrong with the cards below the 9800 Pro. We're just saying if you can, get a 9800 Pro or better, else your card won't last you that long and you'll just have to buy a new one again soon.

Well, to be honest, unfortunately unlike the old days, graphics is a big part of most of today's game, and if you can't turn on all the details, you can't really enjoy the game. All the gamers with slower graphics card can only envy those using higher end cards.

Doom 3 is the best example of all. If it wasn't for its graphics, I would probably rate it as one of the worst game of the year! If you said you enjoy Doom 3 with a 9200SE, you are probably just lying.

Today, my 9800 Pro is just a mid range card, but I'm still capable of running at 1024x768, max details, 4xAA 16xAF in CS:S. I can't be happier!

If you are getting a card for gaming today, I would recommend 9800 Pro as a mid range card, and 6800GT for the high end.

woah.. war of the graphic card.. low end, mind-range, high end.. when will this madness slowdown? i've read some article that NV45 will be coming next year.. when you get enough money to buy it, then NV46 will appear.. argh.. but my system able to run it at 1024x768 w/o AF/FSAA.. ok but not good enough..
