Agozer Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Half-Life 2. No, just kidding. Red Faction I or II, Rome: Total War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 What you can do is go here: http://ccon.futuremark.com/gameadvisor/service/advisor.jsp And do a few benchmarks on games that interest you and it will scan your PC and see if it's good enough. It installs a little plugin but it's safe, I've tried it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmage479 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 X-Plane 8.0 is out! this is not so much a game as a real pilot training simulator and aircraft design tool (and its not for everyone) but it works great. Get a free demo at: The Official X-Plane Website enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 (edited) Hey Jjang, I just found this: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2281&p=10. Apparantly the game runs very smoothly on that card but it uses the DX7 path so it just doesn't look as good. And here are some pictures of it running on DX7 mode: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2281&p=9 It's not THAT bad...meh.

Daeval Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 What kind of games are you into?..Seems like an applicable question.. My friend just got me Fallout 1 and 2 for $5 bucks, best purchase ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeval Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 (edited) If you don't already have them: - Far Cry - An awesome single-player FPS experience. I had more fun with this than with Doom 3. Might be too beefy for your vid card, check the reqs. - Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War - An RTS from the makers of Homeworld, set in the amazingly detailed Warhammer 40K universe. I've only been playing it for a few days, but it's one of the largest, best-balanced, and most fun RTS games I've played in years. The graphics don't hurt either, but the voice acting is cheezy for some units. I haven't played much story mode, but the skirmish mode is awesome (and so presumably the multiplayer) - Tropico -A little older title, and likely to be cheap. An oft overlooked and very fun Sim City-style game in which you rule over a tropical island. As in Sim City, you have to balance your city's income with the happiness of your people, but the tongue-in-cheek island setting makes for more interesting options, such as burlesque houses to entertain and assassinations to get rid of dissenters. There are missions in which you shoot for a certain goal, and of course a sandbox mode where you do whatever you like.
