you might manage on low on a low resolution...

i've not got the card yet just trying to spend just over a oner instead of 500+

i beleave the 8800 gt can be had for about £130 odd, , if you can find it you would be better going for that

Except they don't do the 8800GT in AGP

yet...

People keep saying this but i am yet to find it anywhere for less than around 150 and you are looking at 2 weeks before realistically being able to get one. I think you will get one for about 140 at the end of nov.

I can play crysis demo ok with eveythin on low....red spec in my sig...so it will run...

HD3850 AGP comes out soon remember

That would certainly seem like it would be worth waiting for when it comes to AGP performance cards

My old X800Pro, P4 Northwood 3.40Ghz, 1GB PC4000 RAM handles the game just fine at mostly medium settings, 1280*1024.

Does it actually? my system can just about play in medium settings... is that right?

Yes it does, it's about 40 FPS when nothing is happening, drops to around 20 when buildings blow up & stuff, 25-30'ish when fighting the soldiers. Not using any AA by the way.

If your playing at the same resolution as each other i'd be inclined to say your performances are about right, theres not a great deal of difference between the performance of your cards in current games like HL2, about 10fps difference tops.

So my rickety old P4 which clocks easy to 3.2 together with 2gb of Mushkin perf and an x800xt pe should handle it sort of ok....i'll grab the demo

fobose · 12 Nov 2007 at 22:56

My old AGP System played the demo fine on all medium settings @ 1680x1050.

P4C 2.8 @3.35GHz
2GB PC 3200 (@466MHz IIRC)
GF 7900GS 256mb

Don't bother running it in Vista if you can help it - its much better in XP in that you can run it on better quality settings and it still be playable.

No m8, they are out there for that money and you will have to wait about 4 days.
