Can my pc run black mesa on steam?
When I play the free version it always crashes,devs said that the steam build is much more stable and I also want to play xen. I am looking to buy it but fps was also sometimes dropping on a free version plus I've read that black mesa steam also has much better graphics so I am wondering is my PC gonna be able to run black mesa steam on high graphics? Here are my specs:

VIDEO CARD: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Dedicated Video RAM 4.0gb

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics

CPU SPEED: 4 GHz

RAM : 6.0 GB

OS: Windows 10

I don't expect it to run well on best graphics but at least I want to set texture,model,shader detail and bloom on high.

Yes. I played on 8 year old PC in 1920x1200 with highest settings, except bloom without any visible performance losses. Specs are core i7 3930 (6 cores @3.2 ghz), quad channel ddr3 16gb, gtx 970 4g (very close to 1050 Ti in performance) and intel 520 ssd.

yes but with that hardware id recommend going with medium settings or low with textures on medium or high (remember to restart to apply the settings)

Only on xen or entire game? And can you use console to limit particles? because the only times my fps dropped were on 1 level in questionable ethics and on maps with lot of things going on.

xen will push your hardware more but as long as you keep dynamic lighting/dynamic shadows low you hould get by without many problems with low end hardware.
can my bros laptop run it? acer nitro 5?

It should but beware of Xen
I'd reccomend to nerf shadows and lighting effects
Yours graphic card is decent but can be a little slow here and there


For everyone curious - if you do not stutter at Xen and Gonarch Lair - you're good to go with any settings but at the end of Interloper (Elevator part) if you stutter - reduce shadows and lights - optimization is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up there

So if I wanted to max out all the settings I should have at least 8 gb ram? Because I do have them, they are just not usable, only 6 are

But for now I only want bloom,texture and model maxed out, so I'm wondering if my PC could handle that
