Official "Will my computer play this game..." Thread

Post by donaldgladden »

If you got a game you want but dont believe the back of the box post your specs and game.

I'll start off with world in conflict

The thing that puzzles me is the video card requirement of a 6600 GFX card.

My specs are:

1 Gb ram
2.7 ghz P4 CPU
BFG OC 6200(Factory Overclocked to 375 mhz but can go to 400 no problem)

I dont mind running the game on low settings, but will my computer still play it?

Yeh, you're computer will run it on low but could heat up since it ain't the exact card =D well that's my opinion because my mate had a 6200 LE or so and played " Call Of Duty 4 " on the lowest settings and resolution and his card just messed up :P

Word in conflict has a lot going on, it can be intensive... 7600GT is recommended, but it ain't that flash.

You CAN play Race Driver Grid on low details with a computer similar to mine. The Drift level i get good smooth FPS but in the ebay motors race you'll get low fps, but when you "look back" you'll get smooth fps. ATM im looking into the files for a little tweaking.

If your AV says it's a virus, it's probably a virus. Stay away from that site is my advice.


BTW thread stuck. Seems like a good idea tbh.

Forgot about this thread :P

With the same Specs in post #1 i can get smooth FPS in Fallout 3 on low to medium settings, and Play CoD 5 on low settings with the /seta_rendering 0 console tweak. Will hopefully pick up GTA 4 this weekend to test, but i can see that being a epic fail.

I didn't say you couldn't run it... have you even read the recommended system requirements?

I was actually thinking in terms of being GPU bottle necked ... but tbh the game is still playable on average settings, and is a very worth, especially if u havent played it on the consoles yet.

I think that will do fine, as those games are based off the steam engine ,which isnt that demanding anymore. 9550s did fine for source games even.

Tip for everybody: Avoid Nvidia's 8400 and 9400 series, you're better off with a 6600 even.

Same for the Radeon 4000 and 3000 series bellow 4600 and 3600.
