Is their any game that would not play with a 8600gt DDR3

Hey

I just bought a XPS M1530 and have not really had any problems playing games with it, like fear and Bio Shock at normal settings.

Is there any game out there that would not play becuase of wicked graphics ?

Got a T8300 Penryn, 2gb ram, 250hdd, 1440x900 lg screen.

Thanks

O/S Vista 32bit

 

well, the most demanding game right now is crysis, and am sure you can play fine. problem is with really old games like RA95 which has no fps cap. it would play at 1000fps and the opponent would kill you before you know what happend

 

True that. I was trying to play Lego Racing (win 95/98) and it was like, everyone beat me, cause my eyes don't move that fast.

On a side note, yes crysis is the most demanding game. You can play that, and any other modern game on the market...but don't expect miricals, or very high settings from games like crysis. Even the 8800m can't play at the very high settings some people crave.

 

I think you can foce Vsync in nvidia control panel

 

I have 8600m GT DDR2 but it should matter as much, if you play Crysis @1280 x 800 with all High and 4x AA, you get to watch a slide show. I did it for fun, , the intro took me 30-40 minutes to finish. Hahaha.

 

8600m gt with 512mb of ddr2 or 256mb of ddr3? Their right, There isnt a game out there right now you cant play, but your going to have to play alot of newer games on lower settings.

 

Right now you can play every game thats out. Of course newer games at lower settings, as said. It will be able to handle just about every game thats out for another year eaisily. Of course, settings going lower and lower as time goes on though.

 

Ah cool

Thanks guys, wanted to buy Crysis and COD4 but was a bit worried it would be crap.

 

I play crysis on medium settings easily at the native res of my monitor. specs in sig. Framerate is around 25-40fps all the time.

 

There are a couple of 2D games that won't work. These require a fixed resolution like 1280X1024 to run. (1440X900 is not enough vertical resolution)

For example, Hornet Leader PC is a simple computer adaptation of a card game that won't run on your laptop.

That said, it's a screen resolution problem, not the GPU's lack of muscle. However, you did list all your system's specs and there are games more demanding than Crysis when referring to RAM, CPU, HD, etc.

 

Crysis runs perfectly fine on medium, though it isn't really that great of a game to be honest. I haven't run into any other game that will not run on high settings as long as you don't go insane with the amount of AA (as long as you run native res, 2xAA is plenty for most people). I've played CoD4 which runs extremely well, Orange Box, The Witcher, Rainbow Six Vegas, Unreal Tournament 3, and BioShock so far.

I don't think you should have to worry about games coming out that you won't be able to play, Nvidia's 9-series isn't anything to get excited about, so you figure developers will have more or less the same hardware to work with so they aren't going to design something that won't run.

 

COD4 works great. Crysis you have to disable the advanced settings, but is still a fun game.
