I have Ryzen 7 2700x and RX 580 (4 gigs vram) Will HL:A be able to run?

[Slicky]

The minimum specs for HL:A are Ryzen 5 1600 and RX 580 (6 gigs vram) The processor is fine, but im missing 2 gigs vram on my rx 580.. Will I still be able to run HL:A? If so, how bad will the gameplay suffer? I want to ask this now just in case i have to return it.

Try it then return if it doesent work fine for you is my gess.... Have fun...

[Keychain]

Feel free to upgrade your PC you cheap bastard....

i am one of them cheap bastard hahaha

at lease for the video card... damn them for making it so pricey for vid cards....

Yeah, it should run, dunno about your CPU ram, but 6GB Vram is what you need for HLA, and your CPU is more than enough

how would we know how it'll run? the game's not even out yet...

we can make general assumtions like knowing it wouldn't run on intel onboard graphics for example :P

Source 2 seems to be pretty optimized for VR, but the thing is, to make VR look any good, you need high resolution textures, which is why the game demands that amount of Vram and RAM, other than that, a GTX1060 has been one of the standard VR cards to date, sure it may not be able to max out HL:A, but with source 2 being an engine optimized for VR, chances are the biggest requirement may be the VRAM and RAM, unless you set the texture quality to the point where on the monitor it looks decent enough, but in VR it looks washed out

I do VR with a AMD Radeon 480 + Intel 2500k just fine... I don't see why you couldn't play Half Life Alyx.

[long chin man]

gotta make sacrifices. you'll have to go low-medium or god forbid full-low. might even have to put the game onto an SSD and close every other program and process in order to run. thats only if you get desperate though

Because HL:A is most likely the most hardware demanding VR game to date.

But your 480 prolly has 6 gigs of Vram, his doesnt

Oh this is good to know. I was worried about whether my GTX 1080 could run it, but if it's mostly VRAM and RAM, I think I'll be okay.

With a 1080 ... your Golden....

Oh man... only 1080? Not sure if you will be able to play this on anything weaker than RTX TITAN...

I am pretty sure that his 450 does not have 6 gigs of Vram.
