    Can the X3100 RUN Race Driver GRID (at any settings :) )?

    Also can it run Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on ANY settings at all?

    I tried running Grid on an x1400 which is 3 times faster than the x3100 and it looked like a slideshow even on very low settings...

    Decided i`d give this a go on my X3100 with drivers winxp_14361.exe. Both games on lowest setting (Lowered further by removing HDR/Postprocessing with .ini tweaks)

    Image and fps Results were not pretty X0

    Conclusion. Stick to DX8 or lower games.

    Thanks a lot guys especially bunbuns for the pics. I wasn't expecting them to run well at all but I just wanted to see how it would look.
