Yeah no problem

I played Fallout NV with onboard graphics when it was released and I was waiting for a gpu to arrive. Should run them on decent settings.

That GPU is very low spec, you'll be lucky to get Skyrim/Darksiders running on minimum graphics. Fallout will be more forgiving but it'll be low settings still.

There exists no better game for ~~laptops~~ htpc's than Trackmania.

Get the free version - nations forever if you're just getting your feet wet.

Screen resolution will have a big impact on performance.

Low resolutions need decent CPU power, which you have.

High resolutions need more GPU grunt, you're a bit lacking there.

I think nv struggles on my htpc with
I3 2120
7850
Full eye candy at 1080p

Or its something to do with my refresh rate of tv vs pc
