[knight1122]

What are some good games to play on my x1950 pro pcie 512Mb, I have Dell GX620 with 2Gb RAM and 3.0GHz HT processor. Preferably Shooting and Racing games. I have also a PSU of 460 Watt. your kind suggestions in regards will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

Aside from Half life 1 and 2 I'd say a game from the Quake series or NFS MW, GTA 3/GTA VC and of course doom

That's similar to the the P4 3.0 + ATI X800 XT rig I retired, but the GPU is faster and supports shader model 3. I think you are limited to games released before and including Oblivion (around 2006). These include Warcraft 3, Starcraft 1, Splinter Cell Double Agent (the one shader model 3 game you can play), Doom 3, and Half Life 2. I played all but Splinter Cell.

No Counter Strike on this list? I wanna add it. All of them are awesome, though rough for beginners, but are the quintessential FPS. Graphics improve with versions, but some will contest other game elements are lost. CSS looks great, but it has the largest head "box". Personally, the monumental standout besides graphics of the versions is weapon recoil. Shoot an AK47 in CS and it's dead on, but subsequent shots are screen wide all over the place. Shoot an AK in CS:CZ and it isn't as dead on, but the group is a little tighter. Shoot an AK in CS:S and the first shot is dead on, and in spray mode, the 5th shot should be dead on again, due to the pattern. I like the shadows CS:S adds. One more thing to note, though all of these games feature the same maps initially, your character model size is drastically different. CS, you're big in the map, CS:CZ you're tiny compared to the map, and CS:S you're big again. Find one and have fun...or eventually rage quit.

Thanx for your contribution my frnd, but you only suggested three gamez, with "everything common", I was hoping something biger you know, like closer to Assassin's creed or Modern warfare or NFS Shift 2. By the way thanx for your time. try something new next time, I'll be waiting.

Hey man, don't knock it because you think its beneath you, hell I still play top down 2d RPGs they're alotta fun.

But I guess you could try left 4 dead, or the best need for speed game out there, Need for Speed: Most Wanted. (personal opinion)

Diablo 2 would run great on this rig.

tbh if you want to play modern warfare and to play new games you need an upgrade

Yeah but anything over that graphics card will be bottlenecked by his P4 CPU.

If you are feeling adventurous you can go to All PC Games List at Gamespot, browse through the games noting their release date and review rating, and click on some that look interesting. Then on the page for a game they will show Games You May Like on the left column that are similar to that game.

Be careful tho. You can easily spend hours clicking through games, resulting in PC game info overload.

I suggested CSS and he said try something new "friend". You don't even know... How about you try something new. There isn't a "new" for a reason "friend", CSS isn't needing an upgrade. Thanks though. I made a suggestion based on your card. I have a GTX 580. How about you try a new card before you even consider the games I've played...Friend.

The guy who asks for help tells me to try something new? I can't wrap my head around this.

I assume he meant different genre as he said all the games you suggested are similar

In that respect I suggest Just Cause 1 (not sure if it will run, haven't looked at specs)

 

[joshyboy82]

he/she/it mentioned FPS as a favorite. I suggested the, quoting myself, "quintessential FPS" as any single Counter Strike. He/She/It told me to try something new. I feel like electro-shock therapy can't cure their third-world-isms.

I personally deleted the rest of my message.

You could try Team Fortress 2. It's free to play so unless you have any problems with data caps that would be a good game to try.

There are a few other free to play games on steam that you could test as well that aren't just MMO style gameplay.

It's hard to recommend anything with that pentium 4 3.4ghz processor... I still have a Dell P4 comp here, but I don't use it for gaming anymore. It ran Warcraft III, Diablo II, and CounterStrike decently and Left4Dead barely with an X800.

you seem like offended Mr. Joshyboy82, I don't think that there is a reason to be so, and I never meant what you perceived when I said "Try something new", What I meant was make me try something new. I am really sorry if in any reason I mad you angry....
