Is It Really Out And If It Is

[Anachoret]

Hi.....yes that's certainly an 9800 XT made by Asus 'cause Asus now have rights to build ATI's cards...and Gigabyte can make Nvidia's ones.......u can recognize Asus's style by the twin fans...
And sorry to tell that, dudes, but Halo can run with a GeForce 2 MX100/200 without troubles on a Pentium III 500mhz with only 128SDRAM....
Oh yes, I tried and that works very well u just have to limit to 30FPS and some other video parameters...just be modest...

And yes with this card...the 9800XT u have rights to dl Half-Life 2 and during this time.....u can dl all previous generation of Half-Life(with counter...opposing force and blue shift).

Babye!!

3.Or, when you buy the radeon 9800 you get a free HL2 game?

Yes, ATI have a strong link with valve so they decided that they would package the halflife 2 game with the Radeon 9800 XT. However, as you probably know, the game was delayed. So, in exchange for a game, they put a voucher in the package, so when it eventually does get released - you can pickup the game anyway.

All of the new XT range come with free HL2 voucher. Its supposedly because Valve supports ATi, basically because most of their cards piss all over the GeForce cards. Valve noticed this and they got into an agreement.


What he said above about downloading it may be true. Steam is supposedly going to "revolutionise" things, in other words make it impossible for dialup and users with no internet to play games.
