Half Life 2 RTX
- Thread starter randal
- Start date
Makes me laugh people saying this is unplayable. As evidenced, it's perfectly playable on a variety of hardware at the appropriate settings that your GPU is capable of... It's almost like people don't realise you can adjust the settings. And incredibly there are still people who refuse to use upscaling even with the latest transformer model
Nah mate grainy and totally unplayable:
This is with double the light bounces of ultra and DLSS set to quality, forgot to close something in the background as well when recording which slightly dropped my FPS by 1-2% as well. Getting my excuses in but I'm pretty rusty as well.

Tried it on mine. 1080p medium setting, upscaling off, 26fps. Not worth it looked grainy and also crashed a few times.
Looks like it's the undervolt/oc that causes the crashing, weirdly played all of Raven earlier and no crash, but 3 mins into nova and crash. Turned off UV/OC and only did 80% power limit and zero crashes, fans a bit louder than before which is expected but otherwise all good, framerate appears to remain similar so will just leave it like this. First game to not like UV/OC!
Now half way through Nova and stuck in a bit after the gates are opened and there's a sentry in the corner behind a table. Only got 18% health so think I'll have to redo Nova and retain more health
:Look how excellent it looks:
Butter smooth too and zero stutters or frame time issues. Roll on the full release soon.

Power that you have, you mean, it's not the devs fault if your hardware is underpowered? Did you also moan when Crysis came out and nobody could run it etc?

There will always be people butt hurt when they can't run the latest thing...
Plays really nicely here.
DLSS Balanced - 80-90fps or 140-160fps if I turn on frame gen
RTX HDR makes it look even better but didn't work straight away. I needed to reboot the game after enabling it
No crashes and a max of 420w - 66c so the undervolt is holding strong here
You can use DLSS Performance if on a 4K output, it's as visually good as Quality of old since we are now on DLSS 4, there's no real need to use DLSS Quality or Balanced any more when outputting 4K. 1440p a different story of course.

Nah sorry but look at all that grain, it must also be a slideshow....
In all seriousness, are the ones saying it looks grainy by any chance using amd gpus? Could be that the denoising tech in this is not working for amd hardware. Wouldn't be the first time a rtx remix title has exhibited graphical issues on amd gpus...
Yeah I'm still blown away with how good dlss performance with Transformer model looks in KCD2. Changing it to balanced or quality is just pointless, at least to my eyes. Everything looks so sharp and clear. I accidentally used the old model after the patch and could immediately see the downgrade, dlss4 is fantastic.
People on Steam forums complaining that it doesn't run on their Steam Deck
AMD hardware
