So, Are We Just Agreed That The Hardware Requirements Popup on HL: Alyx Is Just BS Now?
(lemmy.world)
This is a broadly substance free post. But I assume most VR headset owners have at this point at least tried Half Life: Alyx.
It therefore follows that most of you are familiar with this dumb popup you get the first time you run it:
Fair enough, on my old PC I only had a Sandy Bridge i7 2600K and a GTX1080Ti. Maybe I was below the recommended requirement even though I played through the entire campaign just fine.
Well, I just built a new PC containing a Ryzen 9 9900X, a Radeon RX 7900 XTX with 24 gigs of VRAM, and 64 gigs of system RAM.
And I still get that dumb "low memory" popup.
This game came out four years ago, Valve. What the hell did you expect people to play it on? A Cray EX254?
I see this popup all the time since getting my 3080 and Reverb G2. I don't recall it ever causing issues though.
I also don't recall seeing it on my 1080 and vive pro (wireless) which is what I used to play the game the first time.
