Ive seen a ton of videos for the beta, and it looks wicked. And thats exactly my problem, my poopie video card (ATI Rage Pro 128 Turbo) could run ESF Alpha pretty smoothly on Direct3D, but this looks like it could destroy it. Any thoughts?

I don't think you'll have a problem. Oh and run it in opengl if you can, it's a lot faster.

Actually Hibiki 56k "can" be fast if you have the right internet service, such as AT&T Worldnet or Eartlink :)

its more about the connection then it is the speed of your computer wit halflife but wit games like ut2003 and above all else....Battlefield1942 it is needed to have both good connection and a very nice computer wit a Damn good vidcard...trust me i know....im about to spend 200-250$ for a new vidcard for them both:tired: P.S sorry if thats a lil off topic:D

All I can say is, it's more demanding on graphics than Half Life is. For those who have "crappy" video cards though, we have provided 3 console commands that will allow you to pretty much turn off Joe's particle system should the strain become more than you pc can handle :) Of course, you'll still have to deal with the 1000+ r_speeds of the maps though ;)

i have a pentium 3 with a geforce2 MX, 32 megabyte video card.. would this be good for beta 1? like would it run smoothly..
and this has nothing to do with esf so sorry but would my video card also be good for battlefield 1942.. for those who have it..
because im thinking of getting geforce 4.. but i wont get it.. if my video card can handle these games..

Your system is okay, nothing to be cocky about ( saying mine doubles yours ). ESF should run fine on it.

I'm running the current inteam build with my 466 MHz CeleronA, 384 MB RAM (125MB heaped for ESF, damn Windows 98) and a TNT2 Ultra 32MB.

I get between 10 and 50 FPS, depends on the map.
