As a matter-a-fact, this has been posted before and is quite old. And ironically, it was posted by me about 2 weeks ago or so.
Checky here

 

[Hazar]

Kind of basic if you ask me,

Not much that I didn't know.

kind of a fair/good/best sort of test.

 

[Johan_Tayn]

old data.. I've seen this about 5 times.

 

[ankalar]

No.No. No. No.

 

[brink's]

So you mean it won't run on my 486!

rofl...

i am sick of people shooting things down with "OLD! SUX!". if its old dont post and it will get sent to the back. ive never seen this before, and while it is worthelss information, its still interesting ntl.

 

[wayne white]

lol it says it will run ok on minimum specs and i got a ge force 5200 fx

^^ lol that sounds pretty accurate.

 

[Max_Payne]

thankyou ghost for defending me lol. i was just trying to have fun.. and help people out. jeezuz christ i didt think it owuld be such a bummer to people... ahh welll.....

PEACE

Mike :cheers:

 

[wayne white]

yea pretty acurate my ass

 

[Kyorisu]

I wish people could atleast wait for HL2 before debating what will run it.

 

[Moto]

yea pretty acurate my ass

I'd say you could run medium settings on that card.

 

[burnzie]

everythings good apart from the GeForce 3 in the box ;(

the only game to stump it is joint ops.

 

[Frank]

Perhaps...

 

[G-Dub]

Thanks for the link :thumbs:

Heh, guess I'm not the only one.

 

[crabcakes66]

wow that "test" is old....

 

[ComradeBadger]

Processor: Your processor is fine.
Graphics : You should be able to play in 1024x768 depending on your card, consider upgrading if you have an older chipset such as GeForce 3 Ti
System Memory: You have enough RAM
Operating System: You will be able to play on Win XP.
Architecture: No Problems

I find it amusing that they think that a 9800 won't handle HL2 at above 1024 x 768 rez

 

[SidewinderX]

Wow, this test is old, and based on old information... alot has been learned since they made this test...

 

[bosox188]

They really think my 5200 can run at 1024x768?! I can barely run Far Cry at 640x480 (Though it's a demo).

 

[Shuzer]

Yep.

Completely OT, but I just realized you live about 45 minutes away from me, I'm scared

 

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

Let me just twohundredmillionsixhundredthousandandseventyonece and for all make it clear that the nvidia 5200 FX SUCKS for gaming purposes. Period.

 

[lePobz]

You people think because the 5200 has an FX after its name that it's fast. You get what you pay for. The 5200fx is cheap, and as such, performs worse than a 4200ti.

Deal with it.

 

[Frank]

Actually it IS worse than the 4200ti...trust me, I know someone who's got it... but now he's getting a Radeon 9800 PRO so he's happy happy happy joy joy joy

 

[lePobz]

yes, like I just said... it performs worse than a 4200ti.

Granted it is a DX9 part, but in terms of Half-Life2 you'd be running it in DX8 mode anyway.

 

[wayne white]

no you are wrong..hl2 is a dx9 game.

 

[ComradeBadger]

.... Wayne, did you understand what he said?

 

[lePobz]

Yeah, but unfortunately for you people, nVidia cards below the GeForce 6800 can not handle running halflife2 in DX9 mode without sacrificing serious framerates - on a 5200FX in DX9.0 mode it would be unplayable even at a stupidly low res with details on low.

DX8 mode would keep it playable, at least.

 

[ray_MAN]

They don't have the classification of my RAM. I have 768 MB. I should be able to run it fine. I have a GeForce 4 Ti4200 128 MB and I run everything on high for Halo/ Far Cry/UT2004.

Hey, I don't have an agp slot so that was my only choice. I don't think a 9200 would do much better, it doesn't even support dx9. I would have much rather bought a ti4600 as I payed $130 for my 5200. Compared to the integrated graphics I was running the 5200 is ok, but at the moment even a 9600 np would be an incredible improvement for me. Just hope I can upgrade to a new mobo or build my own comp. Besides, I don't think any of the FX cards lower than the 5900 are all that good, are they?

The FX 5700 is a decent card, last I checked.

 

[lePobz]

bosox188 I didn't realise there were pci versions of 5200s - anyway you shouldn't expect to play games with good graphics when you have no AGP/PCI-express port.

 

[x84D80Yx]

Results
Processor: Your processor is insufficient, it needs to be 700MHz+
Graphics : You do not have enough graphics memory
System Memory: You need to get more system memory.
Operating System: You need to get a newer operating system.
Architecture: You need to get a 32 or 64 bit system

oh noes, what will i ever do! :bonce:

lol...i feel sad for the people still running windows 3.1 rofl

i don't, if they're crazy enough to still use that crap then they deserve what they get.

 

[lePobz]

3.1 loaded in about 5 seconds on a 25mhz machine and never crashed once, I don't know why you're so quick to flame microsofts best ever OS

i don't know, maybe the fact that you can't do practically ANYTHING with it anymore. i was always fond of that cat and mouse game it had though. :E

 

[lePobz]

It's out of date but it is in no way bad. You think the Spitfire sucks because it's old and no match for a Eurofighter?

Vive le 3.1!

it wasn't even that good. hell even the mac os was better.

 

[bosox188]

Isn't 98 the best one Microsoft ever made? And when I bought my Dell last year I knew nothing about the hardware stuff, and didn't know what AGP and PCI even were. I didn't think the integrated graphics would mean I couldn't get one of the good ones later. I heard the 5700 was pretty good, but other people said that anything under the 5900 weren't as good as the radeons in their price range.
