Thank you
Regulars, keep this thread bumped so that people don't post a new thread when this is moved onto page 2 or so...

to start us off Im going to list two computers and their performance at the highest playable FPS.
both computers are stock, no overclocking.
Computer 1:
Processor: Geniune Intel Pentium 4 2.6ghz
Memory: 512MB PC3200 DDR Ram
Graphics Card: ATI 9800 Pro (128mb, 256bit architecture... in other words its not the ripoff version)
Settings Played at:
Resolution: 1280x1024
Anisotropic Filtering: 4x
Anti Ailiasing: 4x
Settings: all options turned on and set to their highest setting
Framerate:
Idle: (when no one is around) 80-100fps
Medium-Action: (small battles including around 10-20) 80-100fps
Extreme-Action: (big gunfights including around 30-40 people) 50-75fps
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Computer 2:
Processor: Geniune Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz (hyper-threading enabled)
Memory: 256MB PC3200 DDR Ram
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 5200FX 128mb (horrible card)
Settings Played at:
Resolution: 1024x768 (monitor on this comp doesnt go higher)
Anisotropic Filtering: 0x (off)
Anti Ailiasing: 0x (off)
Settings: all options turned on and set to their highest setting **however since this card is a DX8 card there are things that are noticeably missing.. things like the reflections on the tiles in the building, and the reflections on guns.. also the reflections on the scopes on some rifles**
Framerate:
Idle: (when no one is around) 80-90fps
Medium-Action: (small battles including around 10-20) 70-90fps
Extreme-Action: (big gunfights including around 30-40 people) 60-85fps
For 9800Pro Owners, Read this:

Here we go:
System
Pentium 4 2.96Ghz 1Ghz FSB
OCZ EL Platinum PC3200 DDR RAM - 4x256MB chips
Sapphire Atlantis 9800 Pro 128MB R350 core
Windows XP Service Pack 2
DirectX 9.0c
Catalyst 4.9 Beta
Game
I play 1280x960 @ 4xAA/16xAF, all settings in CS:S are the highest it allows. I usually have about 4 background applications in the background.
Average FPS: 70
Lowest FPS: 60
Highest FPS: 100
(all numbers are approximate)
Other tested resolutions:
1920x1440 0xAA/16xAF = 30fps average
1024x768 4xAA/16xAF = 70fps average
1600x1200 2xAA/16xAF = 70fps average
Thoughts
Source engine is highly optimized, it never slows down even in intense fights. The FPS actually don't change much between resolutions, it's the AA that makes it change significantly. 1920x1440 is beautiful, but also a bit slow at 30fps. It's smooth, but not as fast as I want it. 1280x960 is an excellent resolution as is 1600x1200.
For FX 5900 Owners, Read this:

Review
Awesome. When I first loaded up de_dust, I was in awe. The game is simply beautiful. When you buy a Desert Eagle, the sides of the gun will sort of reflect the world. When you're looking straight ahead, it's got a tannish tint. When you look up, there is a sky-blue tint in it. Simply beautiful.
The physics are incredible. Everything reacts the way you think it would. When you shoot an object, the further you are from it, the shorter a distance it flies. Barrels will roll if you jump on top of them while they are on their side. They will fly up if you chuck a grenade under a couple of them. The game is really wonderfully done.
One other graphical feature I noticed was on the glass bottles throughout the map, they will reflect the map. I cannot believe how nice it all looks. You guys will not be let down. Believe me.
