I'm toying with the idea of purchasing a modern graphics card (currently got a GeForce 3 ti200 64Mb :p ) and having enjoyed games such as:

Delta Force
Delta Force 2
Project IGI
Vietcong
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

I was wondering what modern games are on the market that you think would take my interest? :) As you can see, I'm totally out of touch with gaming! :p

Thanks in advance
 
Get a decent card like a X1950 or even a G80, then try these:

-Call of Duty series (Call of duty 1+United offensive expansion+Call of duty 2), superb series for the PC and should keep you busy for a bit :)
 
Battlefield 2. 64 people battling it out online at once. Helicopters, planes, tanks, APC's, jeep's, boats or on foot with a choice of different classes like medic and spec- op's. Good squad play or you can be commander and direct artillery strikes etc

I have to say I haven't played anything better :)

Sounds like thats an AGP of old card, so you are going to be restricted a bit, I think in terms of upgrades for Graphic cards, unless you are upgrading a whole system. In terms of just upgrading a graphics cards some decent deals can still be done there, but begs the question about your CPU and RAM etc as to what you will be able to run well.

Recommendations are: (in no particular order)

BattleField 2 (Need plenty of Ram, 1 Gig at least)

Counter Strike Source: Halflife 2 needed, also needs a decent psec to run well.

Call of Duty 1 and 2 (again system requirement)

All these games are pretty decent.

PS I am an ex DF gamer and graphics and system requirements have come a long way since then, if you aint aure about minium spec compared to what you are running, visit the game websites, will give you an idea what you need to run the games.

Current spec is:

AMD64 3000+ @ 2350Mhz
1GB PC3200
Gigabyte GA-K8NS (AGP)

(Note the GeForce 3 ti200 64Mb graphics card was salvaged from the PC I built back in 2001!)

Thinking of perhaps a GeForce 7600GT 256MB DDR3.
 
Thats a good choice of card. That or a little more on the X1950 PRO.

Both will allow you to play basically every game out there at decent detail. All of the ones mentioned above at high detail.

Other titles than suggested are the usual FPS's:

Far Cry
FEAR
Brothers in Arms
 
Id recommend the expansion packs for mohaa. Spearhead is good online as i play it often. Plus you get 2 new campaignes with the packs.

Or the 512mb at a push, still a decent platform on a NF3 MB for gaming.... at above and prob below listed, bobs yer uncles poodles, half cousing orantang;s half sisters maidens name, half brothers uncles brothers, brothers Uncle
 
Thanks for the feedback, I'll have a look into the suggestions.

So would I be able to play games like Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 with:

AMD64 3000+ @ 2350Mhz
1GB PC3200
Gigabyte GA-K8NS (AGP)

and a GeForce 7600GT 256MB DDR3.

or a Radeon X1950Pro 512MB GDDR3

and would the latter be worth the extra 25 or so quid?

BUMP
 
You'll be blown away with a gfx upgrade like that, I went from the GF3ti200 to the 6800GT and I was smiling from ear to ear when I first ran 3dmark 03.
I scored 893 with the gf3, and scored 11562 with the GT.

As for games:

CoD 1+2
Far Cry
Chronicles of Riddick
Doom3
Half life 2 and CS:s
BF2

Definitely go for the X1950Pro. Very good card, and significantly more powerful than the 7600GT.
