Guys i have only one mission left in COD2... i love the game... Now that i am going to complete i wanna decide the next game i wanna play and want suggestions...

first i will tell the constraints i have and the rig i have.... rig is
Athlon XP 2600+
VIA KT400A chipset mobo - MSI KT4AV-L
Hynix 2 x 256MB 400MHz @ 333MHz 2.5-3-3-7 @1T
GF4 Ti4400
Seagate 200GB baracuda with 8MB buffer

- wanna play 1024 * 768 as i have a 17inch monitor
- wanna play with decent graphics with the config i have (i wud prefer playing a game with decent graphics rather than better game in low graphics)

know that most of have gr8 graphics cards... and that todays games are really demanding... so u might suggest that i upgrade my card n proc... but i cant do that for another 6 months as i have made other big investments...

i was able to play COD2 at 1024 * 768 at medium settings with 2x AA in DX 9 mode... the frame rate is good and playable...

Now that u have read the above suggest me some games... FPS or TPS or War games

BF2 is ruled out as it requires min FX5700....

Note: I wud be uprading to 1GB in 1 or 2 weeks...
 
I just have one suggestion, i dont think 1 GB will help u performance wise on your current config, only thing is load times will improve. I would think that ud be much better off spending that money on better gfx.

ur right that i shud invest in a better card... but right now i cant spend that much... thats the problem mate....

and moving to 1GB because of the load times also require 1GB for some other work...

guys some suggestions guys....
 
How come Call of duty 2 run smoothly on 1024 resolution with medium graphics when it runs on 640 reso and lowest graphics on my friends athlon 3200 , 1 gb ram , onboard geforce 6100 ? Care to ellaborate ?
Anyways as far as games are concerened godfather wud be a good option if u have interest in games like GTA !
Also consider :

doom 3
half life 2
SC : chaos theory
far cry
nfs : most wanted
ut 2004
mafia
max payne 2
freedom fighters
medol of honour european assault
chorincles of riddick
quake 4
painkiller
halo
RON 2
world of warcraft
GTA : San andreas
battlefield 1942

If you can run COD 2 on ur comp without lag on 1024 resolution , then u will have absolutely no problems running any of the above games !
 
^^ not sure y ur friends sys is not able to play.... must be because of the onboard graphics card...

if u want i could provide a snap shot of the settings....

Battlefield requires a minimum of Fx5700... so i might be able to play only at 800 x 600 at low settings...

anyway thanks for the list mate....
 
Oh sorry I did'nt see that u r having a GF4 , but anyways I think 512 mb is not sufficient for recent games ! BTW I am sure every game in that list will atleast run on ur comp, hope it helps u !
 
cod2 is kinda different.. in which it has 2 modes. dx7 and a dx9.. it would run in dx7 mode on your comp... running at dx9 would really cripple the gameplay!

the games in bluffmaster`s list would run on your comp.. but ya doom3/bf2/pacific assault(its not european assault, which is for the consoles) would run slower most prolly..

happy gaming.
 
Yeah but he says he runs cod2 in dx 9 mode, anyways i think bf2 will not run on his comp but battlefield 1942 will , I think doom3 should run just fine on low-med settings !

I am playing the game in Dx 9 mode... not Dx 7...
 
these snapshots were taken when internet was connected and Bitcomet,CPUIDLE was running... i think without all this the frame rate will be better than this... will post some more screenshots tomm....


 
ohh sorry didnt read it properly..

anyways.. even i would advise not to go for 1gb of ram... cause its not much of use.. to you..

saying this cause i used to have the mx 440se/athlon 2400+, 512 mb ram .. and i played all the games in tat list excluding the ones which dont work on the mx440se.. :) and they all ran without any glitches ..

on low settings. but still very much playable :).
 
I would recommend (in addition to bluffmaster's list):

- Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines

- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords

- Painkiller

- Command & Conquer: Generals

- Medal of Honor series

- Call of Duty + United Offensive

Off-Topic: I would like to know a place in Mumbai where I can legally buy Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords and Medal of Honor Pacific Assault. Thanks a lot. :)
