It ?s. I mean, what's the use of such a powerfull engine if you need to sneak into NASA's to play any game based on it? No, Source is just great.

Wow, that's pretty cool. But those are very huge particle systems. If my computer won't draw the ripple effect inside an unlinked portal or make the toxic water have reflectance (no matter how high I max out the graphics settings :mad: ), there's no way it could draw those! And besides, you can see a black gap between the portals. No wonder it was beta.
Using that particle system, the infinite portal looks even more infinite :biggrin:

Buy a video card that is less than 3 years old.

Appearantly, according to a post in that thread, those particle systems have even less particles than the old ones. So it should work, though it might look messy.

No, as far as I can remember, I have a DX9 card. And if it was DX8, maxing the settings would make ultra graphics lag. I don't have ultra graphics lag when setting are maxed. (Although, every time I restart the game, Portal Render Depth is always reset to 1, but the other settings I've changed are the same.)
And I have 1 GB of ram.

I don't like it at all. The standard portals are fantastic.

me 2

although it all looks very neat, I prefer the old portals. The old portals look like a better product of the Portal Gun. I mean, these look very unstable to go trough.
