Games for a 7600GS

tm1210 · 24 Jul 2007 at 17:32

I've a few bits and pieces coming tomorrow for a new system and from my sig you can probably tell I'm not a big gamer. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a few older games that a 7600GS could handle at 1440x900? I've always liked the look of Far Cry and Half-Life. Would these be playable and has anyone any others to add? Maybe a Stategy and a Role-Playing game?

Hey, everything that's out will absolutely run fine on that gfx, just may need to lower gfx options to low- medium...
HL2 Should run fine maxed...
Farcry same.
Just download demo's of games and see what you think of them.
I recommend Company of Heroes, FEAR, HL2, Battlefield 2.

Good to hear mate. Didn't think about demos to be honest. Far Cry and HL2 I'll definitly be getting.

HL2 is one of the best games ever and will run really well on that card.

BF2 will run on almost max settings.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R will run nicely.

HL2 and Far cry, will run maxed but with no AA/AF, but still look very good.

HL2 will run on an empty matchbox & a 9volt battery, it is without doubt the best coded game out there. Use this as your benchy then go from there.
BF2 is more Ram dependant so you'll get that running on Mediums with 2 Gig.
Farcry patched will run at a good level as well.
To be honest i cannot think of a single game out there that you wouldn't be able to run with a few tweaks & setting adjustments.

Running Hl2 fine maxed out, 1280x1024, 4x AA, 16x AF fine here on my 6800gs, averaging 40 fps iirc.
Farcry I havent benched but everything on highest/ultra and AA maxed ingame too, and smooth as silk, didnt check FPS as never had the need to.
Last time I checked the 7600gs isn't that much worse than a 6800gs, perhaps only by 5-10 %, and 4 average less frames would still make it smooth enough.

BF2 should run fine maxed too, all that game needs is 256 mb of VRAM and 2gb system ram and a 6600GT like card, my 128mb 6600GT used to run it all maxed except for textures wich had to be on medium, my 6800GS fixed that and runs fine maxed out @ 1600x1200, 4x AA, max ingame AF, and just everything ingame maxed.
