Hey all,

I will soon be building my new rig and would like some games to test it out.

It is:
Core 2 Duo E6600
2Gb Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400
GeForce 8800GTS 320mb

I will be playing at 1024*1280. I would like to know what kind of setting to expect on current games, eg. Oblivion, Half-Life 2, BF2142?

Also are there any games you could recommend that would run well and are good fun. As I haven't been able to play many modern games, I haven't been looking round. What games are good at the moment?

Many thanks,
gamer

With that spec if you want to get the best out of it you should run at a higher resolution or if your monitor doesnt support it, think about upgrading it.

Or play supreme commander. I bet it brings it to its knees with 4+ players after an hour or more of play
 
Maybe I wasn't specific, I want necessarily looking to get the complete best out of it. I was really looking for games that would look nice on it, and are good fun to play.

Id say you can run any game maxxed out at that rez

Yes, ofc it can run it on max settings no problem. My point was, you wanted to know what games would look nice on it, which running at a higher res would look MUCH better in every game.

Defcon5 digest my post before you post a response to it :rolleyes:

Sorry to disappoint you, but I was not responding to your post. I was in fact aiming my response at the OP who, unlike you it seems, has good manners...
