Will this game run on this configuration?

[gameranand]

I have not OCed though...somehow just not confident enough of doing that

Don't do that unless you have to. Its safe to use at default clocks. Although I OC my card when I play games and at other time its at default clock.

I have Dell Vostro 1510 with 1.8 GHz C2D processor, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB 5400 RPM HDD & integrated G31 graphics.
Any game that will work on this, I like all type of games.

 

[gameranand]

Try some old games that were released back in like 2005 - 2006. They should run fine.
Try FarCry, Half Life 2, NFS MW, NFS Underground 2, Mafia, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Pandora's Tomorrow, Doom 3. There are many more but these are one of the best and I have left out many games coz I can't remember right now.

 

[rahul_c]

^Thanks I will try Splinter Cell for now, will get back to you guys after completing it. It will not take long

 

[gameranand]

Like I said old games will run fine on your system... As a matter of fact all games support this graphics but the thing is not all of em will run at decent fps.
What genre you like most??? I will give you some names of games of that genre that should run fine on your PC.

I have a SapphireHD6850 and planning to buy MafiaII & Metro2033.
I wanna know how many fraps I can expect to get on 1280x1024 & 1600x900res maxed out.
I have two monitors(a samsung20" & a 17"crt monitor).
Currently using the 17"CRT as other one is with my friend.

You should easily get around 50 frames. Dont worry most of current games will work very smooth in you're config.

You would get more than playable fps even on max settings in most of the games at that resolution. Hmm...fps actually depends on games so can't comment on that but you'll be able to play any game at max setting for sure.

My PC configuration

[StrYker_BLACK_E]

Guys, I bought the two games today...MafiaII & Metro 2033.
I'm getting 71-85fps in mafia2 on 1280x1024 maxed settings
but in metro2033, I'm getting only 36 max and the frame rate drops to 21.
I've reinstalled catalyst drivers 11.5,updated the game,closed all background apps avira antivir n zonealarm firewall but theres no performance gain.
Please tell me what should i do...

 

[gameranand]

Well Metro 2033 is quite a resource hungry game so you have to bear with that. But you can always optimize your PC for a better performance. Like Defragment, Cleaning registry. defragment registry, etc.

Yup,i did that too...but man,this is so boring. thought metro2033 would be a piece of cake for hd6850 on a 17inch monitors res.I guess i'll have to lower down the settings a bit then.
but anyway,thank you for your suggestion and also to thetechfreak.
