of course it's playable because it's in dx8 mode! If it did 9 it'd get ass-raped! go take a look at anandtech and they'll tell you all about it...

NVIDIA’s highest end card at the time, the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, could not even outperform a Radeon 9600 Pro in most tests – much less anything from ATI at its price point. Even though we haven’t shown it here (that’s coming in Part II), the situation has not changed for NVIDIA’s NV3x line of GPUs – they still must be treated as DirectX 8 hardware, otherwise they suffer extreme performance penalties when running Half Life 2 using the DirectX 9 codepath. To give you a little preview of what is to come, in DirectX 9 mode, the GeForce 5900 Ultra offers about 1/3 of the performance of the slowest card in this test. If you’re unfortunate enough to have purchased a NV3x based graphics card, you’re out of luck with running Half Life 2 using the DX9 codepath (at any reasonable frame rates).

you try reading...

35-40 is a crock of crap and is barely playable.. they were considering over 60 tolerable... (That guy I bought the x800pro for refunded my $ because the card is broken sigh..)

I got a radeon 9800 pro and found that it was a lot better than the old fx 5800 that i had
