Can I Run CS:S?

[scottmacneil]

I have a dell dimension 3000 from like 2005 (dont flame me!)
stock everything- except I bought a new GeForce 5200 (pci, cause thats my only bus type)
I currently run Cs 1.6 with no tweaks or anything at a max 160, lowest 80 average fps.
usually I hang around 120.

Will I be able to play CS:S without wanting to rip my face off from lag?

There probably won't be any lag, FPS will not be high though.

exactly what are your CS 1.6 settings?

 

[scottmacneil]

what do you mean? basically only things I changed were my video card settings, which i set 3D graphics stuff to performance.

Well...1.6 doesn't really have too many advanced graphics options, but what resolution are you running at?

If you are running 1.6 at 640 x 480 resolution, i can tell you right now CSS will not look good.

 

[scottmacneil]

nah im runnin at 1204x768

Well, you should be able to run it reasonably well...probably.
