Does portal 2 use a new 3d engine or is it just an updated version of the source engine? Shadows look a lot more complex and prominent.

Its uses the source engine.
I'm interested too, would a GTX 260 still run it fine maxed like all older Source games ?
IT looks really decent, shows that the source engine is really still fine, sure it's not ''omg nice'' but meh, hopefully it still runs great on older HW like source always did.

It runs the same as any other Source game but looks a lot better IMO, the shadow and lighting are what make it so good!
Even with 16xQ CSAA it runs the same.
As far as hardware utilisation goes, it uses very little VRAM but maximises use of the GPU and all 4 processor cores:
CPU is at 4.5GHz btw.

That's what I'm playing it on.
An Athlon II 640 X4 paired with a GTX260 core216, max settings no problem. As I said above 8xCSAA and 16xAF.
OT but can you let me know what monitoring software that is?
