Nope although the Half-Life 2.net forums seem to think later today US time so probably really late tonight our time.
Sooner the better, can't wait to play it through.

I bought up the issue of level loading times with Gary and he mentioned that this is being worked on. I am speculating that the preloading of textures will add to the loading time so this is good news.

A solution for the stuttering problem has been found and a fix is coming. I've been talking with Gary McTaggart about this today and it turns out that my texture management theory was correct. A patch will be coming for this issue that will load all of the required textures into video memory on level load, rather than doing it during game play. There is currently no ETA for this patch, but I will post an update as soon as I get more information."

Yep and someone with exactly the same setup as mine only with a 6800 Ultra does. I think there have been 1500 replies on the steam forum alone with the same problem. I get around 120FPS with everything on full, it is the frame stutter and pauses caused by bad programming (cahce) that causes this and it seems audio related.
It isn't spec related though.

My FX5200 lets it run smoothly on low/med.
Well, even Ali is having problems and he is on an X800 XTPE.
Might I ask whether my GeForce5700LE 256MB will let it run smoothly? and what cards do everyone else have with it running well on?
Yep, same here. And they're a bit too frequent as well.
Takes me an age at load points. About 2 or 3 minutes. Tis' kinda annoying...
I got stuck on some rubble yesterday, i had to reload an old save.
