Did every company forget the Voodoo 4 and 5 cards when specifying requirements or what?
Quote:DirectX 6: This is the extreme low end. DX6 cards running Half-Life 2 will look a lot like HL. Textures are only 128x128 or 256x256. Everything will look very nasty. TNT2, ATI Rage, S3 Savage, Voodoo3, Matrox G200, motherboard integrated graphics.
DirectX 7: A DX7 based card is what I consider the actual playable low end for Half-Life 2. You should get 3D sky, some volumetric effects, hardware T&L, 256x256 textures, decals, dynamic shadows, and medium resolution displacement maps. Geforce, GeForce2, Radeon 7000 series, nForce integrated graphics.
It's the same thing with The Sims 2. On the official page they mention geforce's and radeons but no voodoo's
