What games do you think this PC could run?

[hellokitty[hk]]

well it was bought a while befor oblivion came out so oblivion was a real challenge for it lol. anything over the stock 1.5 or whatever i think is pushing it...especially with stock coolers.

When you get that video card ur computer will be a close Spec to my computer and i can play CoD4 on high settings crysis on medium and i use to play WoW on this comp and never lag It is compatable with alot of games

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

yeah...uh huh

I'd recommend getting the 8800 GT 512mb over the 256mb version as in my opinion, the 256 would suffer in more intensive games like crysis or even maybe newer games.

I say fork out that lil extra for a 512mb instead.

I'm not too sure about the processor but I have a similar card to yours, an XFX GeForce 8600 GT. I am able to run CoD4 smoothly at everything set to max, Crysis at Medium and TF2 without a hitch. Not sure about CS:S though.

Here are my other specs in case...2gb ram and an Intel 2.4ghz Q6600

Of course if you can I'd highly recommend the 8800 GT, which I should've gotten instead of the 8600 GT. It's a lot more bang for buck

I wouldn't attemt running Crysis

I wouldn't attemt running Crysis

you can on low.

GTX 280 + 260 are out!

also, the guy who started this, chops, HAS NOT RESPONED AFTER HIS INITIAL POST.

 

[Obi-Wan Jerkobi]

The 8600GT will still have a couple of problems running CS:S, I can just barely get it to run over 30fps on high with no AA/AF.

 

[billaboing]

8600gt is useless for new games...

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

Its not useless but its not good...at all.

Why is this discussion still going on? The OP is probably not bothered by now, so please stop posting in this thread.

Try command and Conquer tiberium wars or the Kanes Wrath..

MMMMMMM love it... works on my laptop... i got just a 1.8ghz intel duo....HD2400Mobility card.. erm 2gb ram... and urs is better than mine soo it will work XD goood!

 

[Dicee]

Go to google and type in "Can You Run It?" one of the links is a site with a list of games that you can test to see if the game will work.. test games u like if u like get the game as simple as that!

If you're stuck to the 8600GT (even though there are way better cards out there now):
I own an XFX 8600GT and it runs CoD4 smooth, everything turned up and no lag. Crysis: able to run smoothly on medium. That's as far as it goes. I'd still recommend you get a 4850 or better.
