Will this game run on this configuration?

[GameAddict]

Hi Gamerz,

Started this thread so that, there won't be any need to create different threads for the latest/old games and thier playability.

One can ask the question whether the xyz game will run on abc configuration or not? And if yes, how nicely? If the game runs with the use of Software T&L or other such tools, mention that too.

The whole point is to find out whether the game can run on the mentioned configuration with acceptable playability.

Let me start with Max Payne 2. My friend has:

Pentium 1.6 GHz
256 RAM
Intel 845GL Onboard Graphics

Will Max Payne 2 run on it and how nicely?

Bye!

GA

[bharathbala2003]

yes it will run but not too fine.. there will be sum hitches.. better to get a gfx card..

[ctrl_alt_del]

Actually it would run quite fine only without the AA options etc. Still the game would look good, no problems in that.

I think this thread should be made a sticky.

[DKant]

So it should.

And BTW MP2 will run without any problems whatsoever. Of course u can't turn everything on, but it wldn't matter much.

Heck it works on a PIII 866 with 128MB RAM and a 32MB SiS PCI gfx card! :D Smoothly at that! Even Painkiller, NFS:U2 and PoP:WW work on this rig for that matter. Of these only Painkiller is unplayably slow cuz of Havok. :(

So never trust the so-called "min. requirements" blindly. Check out the demo and u'll get the real picture.

Of course needless to say this is true only for the non-shader-based graphically un-intensive (relatively) games. :)

[ctrl_alt_del]

Quite true.. the minimum specs are always misleading. Either get the demo and see it for yourself or talk with some one who has played the same game on a config similar or lesser to yours.

[GameAddict]

@DKant: PoP:WW will run on my friend's PC, is a surprise. Will surely try it out! And that means SoT *should* run too! Thanks for the info.!

Yes, one can try out the demo and then go for the whole game.

Has anybody tried MGS2:Substance on the above config. Pls. let me know, so that I can convince him to buy the copy ;)

And keep posting your experiences!

Bye!

GA

[ctrl_alt_del]

PoP:WW will run doesnt means that the same config will be able to run PoP:SOT...atleast thats what has happened with me and many of my pals. WW runs fine but SoT wont go beyond the splash screen.

[icecoolz]

POP:WW does not need H/W T&L where in POP SOT needs it. So POP:WW runs does not gurantee POP SOT running.

[tarey_g]

to bypass the hw t&l use 3danalyze

[ctrl_alt_del]

SoT gives all sort of corrupted textures with 3DAnalyse. Bottom half of the screen looks all garbled up. Not worth playing like that. Tried all sorts of combinations in 3DAnalyse, yet it threw up graphics artifacts in-game.

[icecoolz]

yup true. I tried to play PoP on my FX 440 with 3D analyser and it was a mess. No matter what settings I tried it was just horrible. Ah it looks so beautiful on my 6800 ;)

[DKant]

6800? Yaar jaley pe namak mat chidko.;)

@DKant: PoP:WW will run on my friend's PC, is a surprise. Will surely try it out! And that means SoT *should* run too! Thanks for the info.!

Lemme warn u it's a borderline scenario. It needn't work on a similar config. It's just that I was lucky. Of coz u might be luckier. :D So don't buy the game b4 u've actually tried it urself. :)

BTW how about making this a "Will this game run on that configuration" cum "If not, how can I make it work with 3dAnalyse/other emul8r" thread? Most - including myself - just can't get it right and get it working.

For starters, how do I get CoD working with my card? The console starts up and then gives an error : s3tc compression not found. I guess that means texture compression isn't available. Any known work-around in 3dA? Thanks.

[GameAddict]

@DKant: Thanks for your input, the purpose of the thread has became much more clearer.

Thanks to others for pointing out the issue with PoP:SoT...saved my time from a fruitless excercise.

You can check the starting post, and let me know! :)

Bye!

hope u meant MX 440!!

[gamefreak14]

Ok...everyone, POP:SOT can be played on a non-HW T&L card. I've seen my friend do that a year back. I don't remember the setting, but check out (and post your query @ the 3dA forum) and you'll be playing it in no time...

[icecoolz]

oops...yea i meant the MX 440 :D

[vamsi104]

I have a geforce fx 5700le 128mb card,
When I tried to run farcry,it was just horrible.
can any one suggest the required settings for smooth running of it .

can any one please give me some info about how anti-aliasing works in a 3d game?

[Ethan_Hunt]

AFAIK 5700LE Sucks badly at gaming.The Most your could do is lower every detail and Resolution of the game and even try Closing all unwanted Tasks in your system Tray.What FPS Do you normally acquire for the game and Post ur overall config as well as something else could form the bottle Neck too.

and here's how an Anti-Aliasing works During a Game

Hi,

Anybody tried Constantine on 845GL? Please let me know!

GA

[icecoolz]

Constantine min system requirements :

OS: Windows 98/98SE/2000/XP
CPU: 1.5GHz or equivalent processor
Memory: 128MB RAM
Video: 64MB Direct3D compatible video card (card must support Pixel Shading)
Sound: DirectX 9c compatible sound card
HDD: 2.5GB free space
Peripherals: Keyboard Mouse
DVD-ROM: 4x DVD-ROM or faster

I seriously doubt that it will work.

I CHECKED on intel website.
MP2 will work Smoothlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
ya, hl2 and d3 will work but NOT smoothly.

Who ELSE can know BETTER than me?

PoP:WW will run doesnt means that the same config will be able to run PoP:SOT...atleast thats what has happened with me and many of my pals. WW runs fine but SoT wont go beyond the splash screen.
I think that it was abnormal due 2 NO support of PS 2.0.
MGS2 WILL not work

[ctrl_alt_del]

u DUDES r making us FOOLS

Think before you post....if you don't the advice of the people here, better not to ask for any.

WHAT IS "CONSTANTINE??????????????????????????????????
It's a movie starring Keanu Reeves and has a game by the same name.

[enoonmai]

First of all, use the Edit button to edit your post if yours happens to be the last post instead of posting 6 posts in a row. I have merged all of your posts into a single one for sake of clarity.

First of all, no one is attempting to "fool" you. Please refrain from such comments especially when someone is trying to help the others. As for 3DA, you have to understand that its not a one-stop solution for running games that require TnL support. While some games are flexibly coded, others explicitly require you to posess H/W TnL for them to work. I have personally seen PoP:SoT running on a GeForce 4 MX 440-SE at a friend's place. You have to learn to fiddle with the settings and tweak a lot before you can get it to run. Of course, it will throw up a thousand warnings and glitches before it runs, but it will eventually, if you know what you are doing. The best place to get your query answered is at the 3DA forums themselves.

As for "Constantine", its the game based on the Keanu Reeves/Rachel Weisz movie based on the DC Comic. Use GameSpot for more information on the game.

Max Payne 2 will indeed run on the 845GL as the others have pointed out, and the Intel Game Compatibility Support lists all games supported on a particular chipset, so that should be one of the things to check out before you buy the game, considering how costly the game is. The generally accepted notion is that the minimum system requirements are to be taken with a pinch of salt, while the game may run, it would be an awful experience actually trying to play it. While an older SiS chipset may run Max Payne 1, actually playing it is a nightmare.

[LordZeus]

i had played pop sot on my old 845GL chipset n it worked perfectly fine.. All i did was tick the emulate pixel shader caps and HW Tnl caps options. pop sot worked fine... Its funny that pop sot require hw tnl AND pixel shader support to work whereas POP WW doesnt need either of these.

[GameAddict]

@LordZeus: Thanks for pointing out what to do in 3DA to make PoP:SoT run. Saved my time!

Can anybody point me to the 3 DA Forums? Googling is not helping! Would like to see if Constantine can be made to run.

Bye!

config
P4 2.0GHz
845 GL mobo
onboard grafix
384 MB RAM


which games will work ?
driver 3
UT 2004
SIMS 2
Splinter cell (all)

[icecoolz]

Driver 3

Minimum
Operating System: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP
Processor: Pentium PIII 800 MHz Processor or AMD Athlon
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce™ or ATI Radeon™ 7000 or higher
CD-ROM: 4X or Faster
RAM: 256 MB RAM

I dont see a problem it might work. So give it a go.

UT2004 will work in Software mode I think.

SIM2

If you have a T&L (info about what T&L is below) capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM (such as nvidia GeForce 2 or better or ATI Radeon 7000 or better) then you need at least:

* 800 MHz processor
* 256 MB RAM if Windows XP
* 128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000
* At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space

If you have a non-T&L capable video card (such as TNT2, Intel, or Rage for example) then you need at least:

* 2.0 GHz processor
* 256 MB RAM if Windows XP
* 128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000
* At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space

Recommened video cards (and the more video memory the better):

* ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
* Nvidia Geforce 4

Splinter Cell wont work..needs Pixel Shaders.

[ctrl_alt_del]

Splinter Cell worked on my SiS 650 on-board. Just needed to update the drivers to make it work.

However Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow didn't go beyond the loading screen. Curiously, Chaos Theory did work, but it was terrible to look at.

@ice ur seriously overestimating these games reqs dude! (except FarCry of coz where everything is an underestimation) Ask someone who's got a dustbin for a comp and u'll know. :D (NOTE: The DISCLAIMER attains some serious priority here. ;) )

@nix, PoP:WW will run with no problems whatsoever. Why? Cuz it works on THIS -> PIII 866,128MB RAM and SiS 32MB PCI card. Take that! :D It's a li'l unstable on my sys. But the extra RAM and the added GPpower might take care of that. I'm not sure abt PoP:SoT however cuz I haven't tried it and besides it needs a slightly better setup than mine. But since u've got an overall better rig, it might work.

HL2 - just might, but it'll be veeeery slow, since it needs some serious processing muscle and LOTsa RAM.
DIII - only if ur luckier than me! :D
UT2k3 should be a breeze. Works smooth enuf on my rig. Needless to say,don't expect the same with the other games. They WILL be pretty slow. It doesn't matter though. U n me r lucky enuf to play them in the first place. :D In fact it's an advantage for me in PoP since I've got enuf time to plan my next move. :D Duh. ;)

I dunno abt NOLF2.

[icecoolz]

DKant:

Please read what I said cos I dont think my name is allwyndlima :P. POP:WW wont run on his system as it needs H/W T&L. some of them have got it working using 3D analyser. PoP:WW will run as its sys req are very very decent. Infact if you look carefully I only answered for NOLF2 and UT2003. I mentioned it will run on S/W renderer mode mate ;)

Lol Talk about a Major Misquoting pal.Anyways Ummm......About the overestimating well Doom 3 Will literally choke to death as basically the AGP Version of 5200 aint much better in running it at 800x600 resolutions either.As for Hl2 well U'll definetly expect a Whole drop in frame rates making the game barely Playable.Far Cry....Is frankly outta the question bro.As for POP:WW well since it's the trimmed down version from its predecessor i suppose it will work but how much of a frame rate do you get?????Is it Playable???

Btw i never said that they wont work just that will not be much worthplaying on such a rig.If you personally ask me i would rather pass then play it on such a rig,No offence :wink:

Pyaasa hi jaanta hai ek boond ki mithaas! ;)
Well that Pyaasa will certainly regret that Boond if it wont even run down his throat.Playing those games at unplayable Frame rates would just mean a total waste of time.So even if they would somehow run on his system i'm afraid that most of these so called "Graphic-Hungry" games would rather choke out.Also considering That this Fx5200 aint a AGP card but a PCI one and not to mention His PIII based proccy i seriously would recommend him a decent upgrade atleast. :D

Yes, its my favorite game dude.. :D

Wat i like about Rollcage is...3D race game that
has full textures, lights, Weapon, building debris...
Despite the fact .... it uses low sources to run :wink:,
I played that on my old rig, AMD K6/2-500Mhz. with only 64 MB Ram,
n Intel 8 MB V-Ram graphics card,

Therefore, you can see that it requires very less sources.

I am still very much addicted to Rollcage that.. i still play it, along with NFS-U...!!

Now wonder when that came out :lol:
Anyways considering you meant UT2003 then i'm afraid it wont,by any miracle if it does work be assured that the Bots Will come out of the comp and Trash Dipen demanding a Serious Pc Upgrade :wink:

The ram is the Full Bottleneck for a major slowdown of any (Oh yes not including Mario,Prince,Wolf,Lionking,Alladin :wink:) Game that would like to play off decently.Dipen do also mention which Mobo you are using....Is it the Intel 810???

@Raboo....Yes Far Cry will definetly work on your config.I too reckon you try Chronicles Of Riddick:Escape from Butchers Bay,Along with Battlefield 2 and Brothers In Arms:Road to Hill 30. :D

Now it take around 2-2.5 min to boot.i cannot use more than 3-4 applications else i have to wait like am watching a movie :?

Was considering a upgrade .. but didnt get permssion from dad..(he knows very well that if ill get a new PC then i wont study the lil bit of what am studying :roll: )

20 mins is too much. i played on nearly same config pIII 866 and 64 mb ram the loading time was 4-5 mins

[ctrl_alt_del]

Yup! 20 mins is too much. I myself expirienced a maximum of 5-6 mins loading time on a similar rig. There must have been some bottleneck on the rig that you were playing. Or maybe higher resolutions and eye-candy.

The only problem here could be your onboard video. Everything except is fine. Give it a try it could work in low settings.

Half life2

No chance for EtM and SoT.

As for HL2, if you get another 128Megs of RAM, then maybe the game wmight run at low settings and low resolutions...no gurantee though.

well can anyone give me a game ..play on 1.6 ghz...224 mb ram and 32 mb video memeory(shared from ram)

sis 650

[ctrl_alt_del]

Sure...PoP:WW, Hitman Contracts, XIII, Half Life 2, NFS UG 1 & 2, Manhunt, Halo....that gonna keep you busy for sometime. Do remember to update your SiS 650 drivers from SiS website.

[drgrudge]

santu_29's thread { i wanna run - pop sot, anyone knows how} merged here...

[icecoolz]

Santu, POP:SOT need a feature of your GFX card called Hardware Texture and Lighting which your onboard does not have. Try using a software called 3DAnalyser and play around with the settings to get the game running. Many have gotten it to run this way. mind you the graphics will nowhere be as good as having a proper graphics card.

[vinish_pavithran]

yes i have played the game on the system configuration with 128 ram and 1.6ghz

Your config. is enough for Max Payne 2, so no problem in that area.I guess, a reinstall of DirectX should solve the problem. Also try running the game at low settings (configurable from the launcher that comes up, when you click the icon).

Hey what's the min confi required to run UT2k4,Painkiller,Call of Duty and HL2?
UT2K4, Painkiller and Call of Duty dont have very high system requirments. I played all 3 with my on-board GeForce 2 (32 MB). But for HL2, the sys. req. are quite high. I think you will need a 5200 minimum to play it. I played it on my 5700LE with the minimum settings and it was quite smooth.

CZ will easily be playable. Sys Req are quite low for CZ.

[godzi_85]

if you have a geforce 2 mx/geforce 4 mx.. then you need not worry about games which were released until last year..cause until then most of them were playable..(exculing SC PT, deus ex 2) but most games released this year (including some released at the end of 2004) dont support mx 440... so i guess the time`s up for mx series..

also,will gta vice city work perfectly.

[icecoolz]

two bottle necks. First your RAM. You def need to increase it. Second is your onboard GPU. Its crap. Vice City will work similar to NFSU 2. I seriously reccomend that you upgrade your RAM.

so if i increase my ram there will be a little better graohics.is dat it.

hey dont think that racing games require low hardware .... try Juiced and u'll know ..... not every racing game can run on low hardware configs .... and playing a simulation game with a max of 10fps is no fun ...

[akshayt]

all games don't need 30fps for playablility/acceptable gameplay.
nfsu2 runs when even it is givging abt say 20-25fps

juiced runs even while gvging say abt 15fps or abv

thats bcoz u never get anything more than 30 with vsync on i think ..... but i need atleast 35+ fps in a simulation game like nfsu2 for smooth driving ....

Hi Gamerz,

Started this thread so that, there won't be any need to create different threads for the latest/old games and thier playability.

One can ask the question whether the xyz game will run on abc configuration or not? And if yes, how nicely? If the game runs with the use of Software T&L or other such tools, mention that too.

The whole point is to find out whether the game can run on the mentioned configuration with acceptable playability.

Let me start with Max Payne 2. My friend has:

Pentium 1.6 GHz
256 RAM
Intel 845GL Onboard Graphics

Will Max Payne 2 run on it and how nicely?

Bye!

Demos can be craked like BUBBLE BOBBLE 2, etc..

Sorry boss but nfsug2 will not play (reaaaal pain) on Riva tnt, even nfsug1 will also not run.
My friend had same card and had to change his card to play it.
U must have atleast Geforce 2.I think even GTA SA will not run but I am not sure.

I just found out I can play Enter the Matrix on any intel mobo with onboard GFX. There is a patch for intel mobos on ATARI site. Hope it helps all the guys with intel boards[/quote]

[navjotjsingh]

If I can play nfsu2 on Intel mobo then it should run on Riva tnt. GTA SA may run on 32MB Card. Also use the 1.01 patch from www.nomorehotcoffee.com It will run.

Will Doom3 and Half life run on my config... See my Signature

[QwertyManiac]

OOps missed the FSB ! sorry enoomai.

Well it suits the game well though high res wont be smooth ...

Yes it will run though not very smoothly but...(high res is not good ((800x600) is fine) )

[enoonmai]

Ur siggy says 800mhz (or is it underclocked ? from 2.4)

The 800 MHz is the FSB he is talking about. How on God's Earth can you UNDERCLOCK a 2.4 GHz CPU to 800 MHz, and even if such a thing WERE possible, why would anyone except a TOTAL moron want to do something like that. Do think before you post.

[shivaranjan.b]

It is 800 MHz FSB and processor is 2.4 Ghz Northwood core.

I am correcting my siggy. And i can underclock my system to 833 Mhz and overclock to 3.01 Ghz. I usually undeclock my system when i leave it long time for downloads like overnight.. And clock it back to normal 2.4 Ghz when i am using it. And overclock it to 2.91 Ghz when i need to encode some videos...

@enoonmai and @QwertyManiac thank you for pointing the mistake in the siggy....

@enoonmai
You could have told your message little politely..... Please do not take in wrong sense...

Now again the same question will it run??????

Again a small question Whats the entire specs?
If its in your Sig then its missing. :(
Assuming you are on a Onboard Video memory then Doom 3 must run on a total low resolution and Hl2 might just pass on 800x600 delivering roughly 25-30 Fps.

Perfect.The rig will easily be able to pull these games off at 800x600 resolutions.Though expect Hl2 to perform a lil better than Doom 3. :D

I have a P4 3.00Ghz Intel Original Mobo with Intel Extreme Graphics 2 with 512 mb ram and 80 gb and i wanna know which all new games will run on it .

Ple... can anyone list all the new games tht I can play on my XFX Geforce4 MX 4000 64 MB...... including half life 2 and doom 3 ..... which I can play....

[deathvirus_me]

the minimum specs are always misleading

Its meant to tell u the minimum where the game will give satisfactory results ....

POP:WW does not need H/W T&L where in POP SOT needs it. So POP:WW runs does not gurantee POP SOT running.

WTF ??? both games require HT&L ... does PoP WW run on Intel Extremem Gpahics ??? No it doesn't .... PoP SoT requires Pixel Shaders .. while PoP WW doesn't ....

[deadman.dinesh]

Intel 845gl dosent support pixel shading,so probability of the game working is very low.

Asus A8N-E Motherboard
Geforce 6200 pcie 256mb

Can i play f.e.a.r in high graphics settings with all shadows turned on and everything set to high?

Also comes a question here is whether is it right to upgrade my pc now or should i wait some more months.



Please help friends......

No way dude .... also u need atleast 1.5GB of ram to load high res. textures ....

U'll need atleast a 6800GT to give u decent fps at high settings ... that too with soft shadows off ....

[p_d5010]

I thought that my upgrade configuration will be able to run F.E.A.R :-( . So can you please suggest me a budget pc to play this game in high settings? My budget only for cpu motherboard and graphics card is 17000. Please help.

the latest game i know of to work on an 845 is age of empires 3... :D..

DUde why are u persistent to play it on high.
With a 6200 u can play at low and even at medium althoug with some drop in frame rate

[ctrl_alt_del]

It'll run F.E.A.R. ... but not at high settings .. with a 6200 medium is enough ..... why don't you get a 6600 .. they cost really low now-a-days ....

[raj14]

Yes DeathVirus is right, there's hardly any diffrence bteween prices of 6200 and 6600. the 6600 has 8 Pixel pipelines, which translate into huge performance, the 6600 Sells for Rs.5,200 from XFX.

[rentacoder]

ive got a celeron 2.4 ghz intel 845 or 865 mother board(not quite sure) with 512 mb ram ac97 audio(onboard), onboard dispaly 80gb harddisk running win xp sp2
will half life 2 run smoothly on my machine

[raj14]

Run Smooth? :lol: If you try to Run Half Life 2 on Intel i845 or i865 chipset, you would only see the 'LOADING' Sign, after which the game will return to Desktop. Half Life 2 requires a Hardware DX9 Supported Graphics Card with Atleast 128MB Video Ram and Pixel Shader 1.5+ Support.
Miniumum Requirements of Half Life 2:
1.2GHz Processor
256MB Ram
Direct X 7 Level Graphics Card
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
4.5GB Hard Disk Space
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection Required

Recommended System Requirements:
2.4GHz Processor
512MB Ram
Direct X 9 Level Graphics Card (nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Or Higher)
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
4.5 Hard Disk Space
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection Required

These Requirements are taken from Half Life 2 Box Which i am holding right now! you can try to give a Blind shot and try to run the game with a Software Such as 3D Analyzer, but really that won't help, just get a FX5200, it costs a Puny Rs.2,200 and you'll be able to play Half Life 2@ 1024x768 High Quality.

[rentacoder]

thanks raj.
is fx5200 an agp card?i dont have an agp slot.
what should i do?

[raj14]

yes FX 5200 is a AGP 8x Card, which will Scale Down and Run on a AGP 4x Slot as well. seems you have 'older' i845xx Chipsets, they didn't came with an AGP Slot. in this case, you have to upgrade your motherboard. worry not, nowadays you can get Excellent performing Motherboards at tasty prices, your main concern should be availbilty, you see nowadays Socket A (AMD XP series of Processors, e.g. 2200+) and Socket 478 (Intel Pentium 4 Prescott etc) processors have been discontinued and Both AMD and Intel are now focusing on AMD Athlon X2 and Intel Extreme Edition Processors respectivily, getting Motherboards which support older Celeron, Pentium 4 processors isa tough task. your best bet is to get some from Lamington Road, that too i don't guarantee. it's likely, you would find Socket 478 MSI (Micro Star International) and some Gigabyte Boards There. which reigh from Rs.3,200 Onwards. :D

[asdf1223]

hl2 runs on i845 chipset @ my frnd's place. all it needs is 256 megs of ram.(forget the smoothness bit though).u may also consider gettting a pci version(not pci-e) of fx5200 though availablity is a issue.

[raj14]

I don't think PCI FX5200 even exist, besides, it's time the guy should update, on a i845 Half Lifge 2 won'r run, it will crawl, if that's your intention............

[DKant]

No it runs pretty well actually with enough RAM, but with a nice dosage of graphical glitches (especially with the water and some of the more complicated textures that do refraction and all). Framerate would largely not be a problem but in large or complicated levels, there would be some stuttering. If gameplay is ur chief concern, no problemo. Otherwise, depending on how much cash u got, u can either get an FX5200 PCI as already suggested, or better still, upgrade! :)

[raj14]

I think the guy should choose Upgrade, unless he wants to play Powerpoint Slide Shows rather than a Movie! get a new Pc Bro!

[asdf1223]

u may also try getting a mobo on the ati 9100 igp chipset
like the gigabyte GA-8TRS350MT.it has the onboard equiv. of a 9200 and an agp 8x slot too leaving u decent upgrade option.

as for the pci fx 5200 here

[raj14]

:shock: for the Price, the guy could easily get a Future Proof PCI-e Platform, i really don't see a point in investing a Dying Technology. if you want to get a Decent gamign rig Without breaking the Bank get:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ "Venice"
Motherboard: MSI RS480
Ram: 512MB DDR1 400MHz Kingston Ram
Hard Drive: Hitachi HDS728080PLA380 80GB SATA HDD
Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 6600LE 128MB
This Pc will let you run games at High Settings, since 6600LE has 8 Pixel Pipelines, same as 6600GT, If you wnat extract Extra Performance, Enable the Registry nVTweak, and Select "Detect Optimal Frequency" and Overclock the Card, and then get Smashing performance! :D

[teknoPhobia]

6600LE has only 4 pixel pipelines, it's SLI capable

[raj14]

6600LE has 8 Pipelines, the only diffrence present is low clocked Core and Memory. Core runs around 350MHz. while 6600GT's Core runs 500MHz.

And only if life could have been this easy ......!!!!!

6600LE is even inferior to the 6600 ..... and no way can it perform like a 6600GT .... moreover ... the no. of pipelines is not the only factor behind good performance .....

A 6600 would the better choice in the current market ....

[raj14]

Hmmm, actually i was refering 6600 (Not GT) as LE. you must've got confused, sorry my bad.

[deathvirus_me]

Hmmm, actually i was refering 6600 (Not GT) as LE. you must've got confused, sorry my bad.

6600LE and 6600 are not the same ... the 6600LE cards are very rarely available in India ... they're more like a better 6200 ....

A 6600 is really a good choice for now .... it can run all games at avg. res. at maxed settings with very good frame rates .....

The 6600's are all now SLi capable .... the 8x.xx series should implement them even on the driver level .... do you can even use two 6600's in SLi ......

not smoothly.the frame rate really drops in las venturas highways.it would be better if u get an agp card or pci card incase ur mobo doesnt have a slot.

Yes, and a bit more than that.

Yup.

And all the games u listed but with the 'bling' turned down, depending on the age of the game. Heck u can even play QIV on it - depending of course on the framerates u can tolerate.

Abt the drivers, don't take my word for it but it might not make a big difference since it's a dated card, but if ur on broadband, downloading 20 odd MB shouldn't be any trouble. If on dialup u can always get the drivers last provided on a Digit DVD/CD. :)
