i think you need a GF5, 6 or 7 for that. you'll need a GF6 or higher or a high end ATI card for HL2 though because it implements DX differently to other games, and that's not supported in the GF5 range

yes but you don't have normalmapped models and realtime reflective water, for which you need a GF6+

i should have made that clearer
