P4 2.4C / 512MB DDR / Geforce 3 Ti500

min spec:

64mb 9.0cDirectX 3D GFX card.
1.2GHz Althon or P3
384MB Ram (512MB Rec)

It ran like a dog using a ti4600 128mb, 1gb ram and 2ghz Athlon. Thats when I first tried it after patching. It was unplayable to me. Don't believe the minimum specs for that game.

Still got online players.

The Call of Duty series. :cool:

Homeworld. Yes, it'll run Homeworld 2 just fine, but the original's the better game.

Agreed, and you can a;lso try FarCry.

Plays pretty well on a Ti4200 / XP2600+ and 512mb RAM

Could try flatout 2. Itll probably work quite well actually and its a quality game

-try the demo first

Not well, based on the Doom 3 engine iirc.

It does look a lot like the D3 engine, but in fact it's not.

As for Far Cry, you really need 768meg RAM for good performance in that game and a ti500 is going to struggle too.

i bet you could pick up a geforce ti4200 for about £20 or less at auction, should give u like 30-40% more performance!

System Shock 2! A great game and pretty old now so it should run just fine. And it's free into the bargin, if I remember right it's legally downloadable for nothing.

Right you are. It was one of the first games to use 'normal mapping' properly and it was around at the same time as Doom 3, which was the other first, that's why i got confuzzled.
