HL2 RTX seems to have a terrible performance

[Ceceli Δ]

At 1440p and DLSS Performance, it's running at 55 FPS with a freaking 5090! Bruh... That's sad.

You said it "it seems" when the demo comes out, which is just around the corner, I'll draw conclusions.

Yes, I've seen it, but it's the same old thing. The same thing happened with Indiana Jones and Microsoft Flight Simulator, that it doesn't perform well, that your PC won't be able to, and blah, blah, blah. It was just smoke and mirrors trying to sell you new hardware. Doesn't it run well on a 5090? Surely it's a problem with the GPU, not the game.

You do realize that you're saying contradictory things, right? Anyway, you do you. I'm out. lol

Goodbye, close the door and the RTX version will be very good for everyone no matter how much you try to confuse.

Given that the screenshots seem to make the zombies look more "fleshy" even when in the case of the classic and poison still wearing clothes, it's not going to be as good as you're hyping it up to be because all I'm seeing from the screenshots, is Black Mesa-like graphics with HL:A-like lighting.
Edit: also the mentioning of a "Mod" being classified as "DLC" doesn't exactly give it good optics to work with from the word go!

I'm not promoting anything, I'm not getting paid or fed, for those of us who like it it will be good and for those of us who don't, well no, but remember it's totally FREE for those of us who have the game.

And that's a problem because the people behind the project SEEM to have forgotten what happened with WarCraft 3 "Reforged" and Overwatch "2" as both just straight up replaced the original executable meaning the people that owned the previous version NO LONGER could play that version it was gone, deleted like it never existed. You claim like you're not "promoting" but that's exactly what you're doing so close to the "mod's" release date, you're promoting it no matter how small you think you are, and if it sucks because it's supposed to be an optional "mod" then people will be pissed off because they have what's being classified as "DLC" on their computers.

Oh my goodness, you won't lose anything, since you get the update version completely free, and the RTX version will be for the regular version.
You have no idea.

That's what people thought when Blizzard announced WarCraft 3 Reforged that "it's going to be in own game, owners of the classic version will get it completely for free and they'll be able to go back to playing the classic version whenever they want."
The only person that has "no idea" is you M8 because this wouldn't be the first time Valve copied from Blizzard.
Valve releases Artifact trying to cash in on the trend that Blizzard started with Hearthstone, only to have that backfire.
Valve releases Deadlock's beta trying to cash in on the trend from Overwatch (another Blizzard title) and that's already backfiring for them.
Valve's still going to be at fault for if HL2 RTX flops just like Reforged and Overwatch 2 because they gave it the OK to go through.

You bore me, think first, exist later.

OP is a troll always trying to farm jesters with these ignorant kinds of posts, I even had to block him for making death threats against me.

Anyway, I'm sure it will run fine with the RT settings tuned down a bit. You don't have to completely max out the settings.

[Ultrabot]

Some of them do take it a bit far. I had about 5 alts chasing me around on every post for a while, apparently I played a game so now I'm some evil leftie, or something like that.

Creeped me the f out.

Anyone with a political PFP is an insta block these days. Big red flag.

I think you're over reacting. It's gonna be like Portal RTX with a separate executable. Also this is a fan project and has nothing to do with Valve.

As for the visuals, it seems to have that UE5 toonemapper style washed out look, with materials being overly glossy, lights being overblown and everything being way too foggy. Not a fan.

You say it has nothing to do with Valve, when without their approval this RTX version would never exist. And if you're not a fan and don't like it, that's fine. You don't have to, but for those of us who like this game, it's a gift from heaven, completely free. I don't understand the criticism. If it had been a paid game, I don't know what you would have said.
From here, I want to thank the creators of this RTX version for their selfless work and good work so that we can all enjoy this version without paying a cent.
Thank you very much.
