Further on, we will explain what are the minimum and recommended PC gaming system requirements ( otherwise known as sys req ) for Half-Life 2 Episode Two. In order to be able to run Half-Life 2 Episode Two at a minimum standard for the game, you will need a CPU ranked better than 1.7 GHz Processor, more than 512MB RAM, a GPU that is better Let's begin with the bare requirements to play HL:A: a Windows 10 PC (sorry, Windows 7 holdouts) and a SteamVR-compatible PC-VR system. The former has a minimum level of system specs, which I'll Recommended Requirements Processor: Intel Pentium III 1200Mhz / AMD Athlon XP 1500+ Graphics: AMD Radeon 9000 Series 64MB or NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX 64MB RAM: 0MB HDD: 4.5 GB DirectX 8 Compatible Graphics Card The changelog also provides insight as to how GB_2 approached converting Alyx to flatscreen. The main hurdle is how Half-Life: Alyx controls. The acute simulation of hand movements and PC Specifications. Performance. My Setup: * AMD Ryzen 5 5600H. * NVidia Geforce RTX 3060. * 16 GB RAM. Gaming laptop, 90Hz Refresh Rate, and 1.3x render resolution with Oculus Quest 2 (using Air Link) on medium settings. Runs perfectly well! 5. Graphics card rough comparisons and info I will now do a general list of the ATi and Nvidia equivalents from worst to best, beginning with the older generation. ATi - Nvidia MX200, MX400, MX440 (All DX7 ATi cards - see the next post for more info) 9200 - 5200/ti4200 9500 - 5500/ti4600 9550 - 5600 9600 - 5700/ti4800 9600Pro/9600XT - 5800/5900 9800Pro/XT - 5950/Ultra The sort of performance I can't seem to find a reason for this lag. My system should be fine; according to system requirements lab, my system greatly passes the recommended requirements for HL2 and Episode 1, and passes the minimum requirements for Episode 2. I'm even lagging on older games, like HL1, Quake 2, UT2k4 etc. Half-Life: Alyx is set in the 20 year time gap between Half-Life and Half-Life 2.
