Nvidia Geforce 7600GS AGPx8 Running Test Drive Unlimited

[theguyinthefunnyhat]

it doesn't take much power, tdu. thats why i love it. great vid dude

[gumberly]

hey. remember me. i was the one with the tdu problem.

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! i can run tdu with full res, highest graphics possible and in HD!!!!!!!!!

i bought a xbox 360.....

hehe :)

[duderor]

Hi Gumberly yes I do remember you. Wow Cool. Funny enough I too bought an Xbox 360 as well. I got so tired of maintaining my pc setup just so games can run smooth and work. So I took the plunge and bought a 360, was well worth it.

I got the Jasper Model (XBOX 360)

[duderor]

After spending some money on my Computer a while back, its now up to date, but I am thinking of building another soon maybe a Core i5/Core i7 or AMD 3. Just going to look in the market to see what I can get that will be money worth.

Hope you have fun.

[duderor]

I already bought like 4 games for the 360 and going to buy a 360 60 GB hard drive so I can download those demos that are on Xbox Live.

If all goes well with this 360 I might invest into and Sony PS3.

Have fun friend. It is nice to hear from you again. Bye for now.

[gumberly]

my gamertag is

Protein FTW

yeah i know it is weird. i assume you have tdu for 360?

if so we could play together. although there isn't really anything to do on tdu live. ADD ME!!!

[duderor]

Hey gumberly, sorry to say I dont have TDU on the 360 but I will sure add you on Xbox live.

Also the other thing is my 1 Month gold Membership is over and I havent had time to renew it to 12 month yet, or havent bought the 60 GB hard drive package yet for the 360. When I do I sure will send you a message!

[gumberly]

oh. i'm not paying for gold anyway. but can you please send me a friend invite so i can send you a pm? i have a few rather LONG things to say to you

[megadude86]

xbox is not running it with high res or full settings I had a 8600gt and i ran it on mid settings low res and than i bought ati hd 4850, I now run it at max no problem ^^

[duderor]

Hi Megadude86, its already known that the 360 and the PS3 render games on Low textures due to its outdated DX 9 GPU which is a let down. But I already knew that before hand. I was getting tired of always maintaining my Custom Gaming PC with Latest parts just so newer games would run perfect. Till one day I said Right thats it and I went out and bought and 360 and bought most of the same games I have on the PC for the 360.

[duderor]

One word!! Smooth game finally but one thing that annoys me is Xbox Live and the fee just to play online is just odd for a gaming console. But then again you cant have everything in this world, Still worth it.

Thinking of getting the PS3 but waiting till GTA IV: Episode from Liberty City is release first on PC and PS3 as I have it for the 360 already.

[duderor]

BTW this video was taken on my old pc.

[Likeaperv]

nice vid

I got a doubt, hope u could help me

I got a ddr2 533 w/ AGP 8x, dual core, 1G ram

and a friend gave me this gc, but he didnt know ma specs so, would it work fine or shoud I get somtn?

[martin255gamer]

Hi, your vid is great!:) I'll buy a geforce 7600gs agp 256mb ddr2 vga soon. Do i need more than 16amps on the 12V rail on my psu?? How much amps do you have on your rail 12v rail? And my psu is m-tech 350w. I had an ati hd 2400 pro agp before and it worked fine.

My conf is 2400+ Sempron 1.66Ghz OC-ed to 2.Ghz; 1GB DDR1 ram, and now a shit gforce 4 mx440. When i had my atihd2400 pro i had a celeron 2 ghz oc-ed to 2.8ghz. Will the psu be enough with the AMD config?? Please reply!! Thanks.

[duderor]

Hi Martin255gamer. Well from reading what your pc system specs that psu should run just about fine. But I do recommend that you try to upgrade to atleast 500W+ psu as it will help with future upgrades.

[duderor]

I also recommend that you buy either 8series or 9series or 200series graphics range as it will give you better performance with a good price range! Not too sure about ATI as my last card overheated on its own and just died.

By the way this video was taken on my old pc setup With only a 200W psu! It ran TDU perfectly fine but I found once upgraded to a 600W psu I notices that my graphics card was giving me more performances than before as their was more power!

Hope I was help!

Good Luck

[duderor]

Also I would recommend that you start to upgrade to dual core as they are becoming a lot cheaper now due to Core i5/i7 CPUs

[Wawrzyn92]

I'd got the same card and TDU ran with high details, aa x2 and 1024x768 with 30-35 fps.

[shadofist]

hey dude

is this card worth getting for average level gaming?

i got a crappy ATI Radeon 9550 at the monument. is it worth upgrading to this?

its only $125 so it sounds good

[duderor]

Hi Shadofist!

I would recommend this graphics card but as its no longer in production I would go for an 8 series or 9 series range as these perform much better compare to the 7series graphics cards. Good Luck!

Hope I was help!

[1993badger]

this cant be true! i have 768mb ram 3.2ghz and 6200 256mb agp and i cant barely run it on lowest !!

[Wawrzyn92]

6200 is much worse than 7600GS.

[1993badger]

most of the specs are the same.

[BulletsForBrains]

@1993badger you need more ram, and 6200 is actually alot worse than a 7600.

[1993badger]

@BulletsForBrains

yeh i get it now, my cpu is bottlenecked by my shit mobo which only lets it run at 1.6ghz :(

[ilovecake95]

I have this graphic card, it sux!!! buy a 9800 gs for pure graphic! :D

[TUNA111111111111]

is that really a 7600 gs ?

[duderor]

Hi tuna111111111111 if you read the title my friend. It explains what graphics card Im using, also have a look at the description. I explain what overclocks I did on that card. Good luck mate!

[gumberly]

Hey

i need help. can you please tell me if it is okay to run tdu on my imac. i am going to use bootcamp and run xp. intel core 2 duo @ 2.8 Ghz. ATI Radeon HD 2600 pro. 2 gb of ram. i've been experiencing problems with tdu. i tried it on a macbook pro. i ran vmware in order to run xp. i installed it and it just crashed. it didn't even start. is it because i don't have DirectX 9.0c or what? i just want to know if it will work with the imac.

[duderor]

hi gumberly. As I said before. TDU would not run via Vmware as your emulating and OS within a OS with limited resource. What you can do mate. Is do abit of searching. Im sure you would find out how to dual boot with Imac on 1 partition and XP on another partition.

But thats all I can do. As I dont have a Imac. I cannot give you help on that. Sorry. But I wish you luck.

[duderor]

As for those specs you have there is more than enough to play TDU with medium settings. Just do abit of research on dual booting XP on Imac on google. Im sure you should find a answer!

(remember) you dont want to run TDU via Vmware again, As it will not work!

What you need is Imac OS on its own Partition and XP on its own partition. On the same hard drive. Im pretty sure. They should explain every bit of detail on how to go about installing XP on a Imac!!

GOOD LUCK!!

[gumberly]

yeah i was going to use bootcamp and i think it would of ran just fine! but bootcamp almost screwed up my imac. but here's the thing. i figured out the problem! it says that you need directx 9.0c to run. and i did't have it. and i have ran games on vmware so i think it will work. you don't have to reply because i and asking a lot of questions sorry!

[duderor]

Hi Gumberly. No its alright. I dont mind replying to your question. As for DirectX 9.0 basically what VMware is doing is using its own Software to emulate a Graphics card; so it basically created a virtual graphic card with minimum resource. I really suggest you do some more research on getting Bootcamp to work as this is a better idea to run TDU with no problems what so ever.

But youre saying you ran games before via VMware? Hmm now Im confuse (scratches head??)

[duderor]

Hey I know. Download DirectX 9.0 from Microsoft via VMware and have a whirl. Tell me how I it goes!

Good Luck

[gumberly]

lol this is so funny the whole entire page is filled with my comments and you replies haha. yeah i've ran programs with vmware. i would believe you more is it hadn't been for the p4 i tried it on. it did the exact same thing. and that's OBVIOUSLY not running vmware. i thinks it's the directx problem. it says it needs it to run at all!

[duderor]

Hi gumberly

Yes I know it is pretty funny too. Replying to your question will assist others with the exact same problems who are seeking for answers. So its quite alright responding to your question. Yes Im pretty sure TDU needs DirectX 9.0 files to be installed, as it will help render the graphics and sound and direct input for the TDU for the OS. Along side your computer components working together to bring you a working game play.

Good luck.

[gumberly]

btw. what screen capture tool are you using. camtasia?

[duderor]

Hi Gumberly. When I was recording this, I used Fraps to do the recording. I lost some frame rate. But at the end the picture quality is just nice and sharp.

Good Luck

Hope I was help

[gumberly]

nice. how far are you in this game. i have played this on my friends 360 so i know the game. i LOVE the jobs things where you start with 80 grand and lose some if you mess up. those are my favs

[gumberly]

Plz plz answer this question. It says this requires p4 or smb. what about an intel xeon @ 2.66 Ghz???? cause i tried this game on intel core 2 duo and in just crashed after i started.

[duderor]

Hi gumberly. Sorry for the late response. Well Core 2 duo is more than enough to run this game. The crash must of happen due to your graphics card. What is your graphics card? As u havent stated. As for the Intel Xeon. The game should run just fine on Intel Xeon CPU. Since Intel Xeon are mainly for Server use. Gaming on Intel Xeon should be much better from what I have heard.

Hope I was help mate.

Good Luck.

[gumberly]

well here's the deal. the core 2 duo which had ruffly 2.4 ghz was on a macbook pro. i was running tdu via vmware( windows for Macintosh program). could that possibly affect it? anyway my graphics card on the mac is a Geforce 8400m GT. that sound pretty powerful to me. so i don't actually think it's the graphics car...i don't really know WHATS goin on.

-thnx for your effort though

[duderor]

Well I see where your problem is. You cant run TDU via VMWARE. It will not run at all. Cause your emulating and OS in an OS but with limited resource. So thats why you cannot run the game. I would suggest you either install Mac boot camp or something like that (sorry not a Mac user) and then install XP with its own partition. As this will be a better option. Then install TDU in XP. And youre good to go. Also your Graphics card will run this game just fine.

Glad to help.

Good luck

[gumberly]

thnx. i thought vmware did have some effect. but what is weird is that i ran this on a p4 which had like 3 ghz. really fast! but it did the same exact thing as the macbook pro did. and it is a windows machine. the graphics card is fine too. it's xp...that is weird....SAME EXACT THING!??? but i don't really care. i find a machine soon lol. by the way, do you use vista or xp. i hate vista. xp only good for gaming.

[duderor]

Hi gumberly

Pentium 4 with 3 GHz is fast but not as fast as todays CPUs. As the technology is quiet old; but from what you have experience by running vmware to run xp. There will be some speed increase as its emulating the full OS with frame skip either enable to give that fast response feel

[duderor]

which is why you are experiences fast boot loading and fast app loading. Also some minor speed improvement in some games.

I use Windows XP Pro as its much better than Vista, vista just a resource hog.

Hope I was help!

Good Luck Mate

[gumberly]

just a resource hog lol. thanks for the great help. i am now thinking about putting xp on my iMac. via bootcamp tho! my imac has a intel core 2 duo @ 2.8 Ghz. 2 gb of ram. ATI Radeon HD 2600. that should run it.....right?

[duderor]

Hi Gumberly. Wow your iMac sounds great. I want one of those, with those same specs. Yeah TDU should run just about fine with ATI Radeon HD 2600. I Must invest in a notebook soon.

Good Luck

[xboxgaaamer]

will it run on pentium 4 ht 3,0ghz 2gb ram and ati3450 all on windows xp

[gumberly]

oh yeah

[ferrarirazer]

i have a 7600GS 512 mb, AMD Athlon 3800+, 1 gb RAM, windows XP.

is that enough?

[duderor]

Hi Ferrarirazer. Well I would have to say as long as if CPU is at 2.0ghz to 3.0ghz rate. Then you shouldnt have a problem playing games like TDU smooth. As for Graphics card. You should be fine playing TDU with the same settings as I do. 1gb ram will be (ok) but I do think you should get another 1gb to make up 2gb for much better performance.

Hope I was help. Good luck mate!

[Empe1999]

Do this game work on my pc 2gb ram amd athlon x2 5000+ 2.2.7 ghz and geforce 8100?

[duderor]

Hi Empe1999 well your CPU and ram sounds fine. But your graphics card sounds very weak. You will run into problems! Chances are you might be able to run TDU with lowest Graphic's settings to archive Reasonable FPS (frame rate per sec). Good luck. Hope I was help!

[SocietyBlog]

my 7600gs PCI-e stock is 400/400 and its great agp is exception since its older

[duderor]

AGP was the king. And always will be the king! but Now PCI-E rules the world with its fast bandwidth and low voltage! but yeah 7600gs was a great medium range graphics card! Thanks for commenting SocietyBlog

[SocietyBlog]

dor me i would use any kind of pc its fun to make your own creative pc, and then sell it and make another.. "there is no such thing as the est pc. theres only the best you can make"tm

[PsychoSpaceAce]

do you think i will be able to run it on a nvidia geforce 9600 gt 512 1 gb of ram and 3.3 ghzs processor? plz reply

[duderor]

dude thats more than enought to run TDU fine plus on highest settings! Good luck

[PsychoSpaceAce]

yeah thanks i bought it today and it looks stunning

[SocietyBlog]

itll play for sure lol

[whirpoll]

sorry I have forgot to tell you my cpu

here it is.

2.6 gh

[duderor]

Hi whirpoll. Well youre cpu and your ram sounds fine. But as for your graphics card. Your going to end up having problems there my friend. You need to update your graphics card. As I think with the Nvidia Geforce 7100, as it is a low range card. It will have a hard time playing this game on the high settings. You can still try running the game on the lowest settings. But you will still have problems of lags due to your low range graphics!

[duderor]

Hope I was help. But good luck mate. Hope you get a new graphics card or can still play this game on your nvidia 7100 graphics card!

[duderor]

also thanks for commenting on my video!

[whirpoll]

Hi duderor, I have saw your video its nice my question is would that game run on my computer ?

here my system:

windows xp service pack 3

Intel pentium D

2 gb ram

nvidia geforce 7100

Do you think that it would run ?

[duderor]

Well yeah. 9800 GTX+ will run this with ease! GOOD LUCK Shirgit

[shirgit]

will it run smooth with a nvidia 9800 gtx+ ???

[GarfsiPhoneHelp]

How would it work on this laptop

Intel Core 2 Duo T2395 @ 1.7GHZ

2GB Ram

GeForce 7600 Go 256MB

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.86GHZ

2GB RAM

GeForce 8600M GT 256MB

[duderor]

Hi GarfsiPhoneHelp. i must say i am very sorry if i haven't replied to anyone's question. but for the answer to your question. it should play just fine. those specs sound's very promising!

but do remember this video was taken on my old system. which was old. so from reading your spec's TDU should play just fine!

If anything I am here to help!

Good Luck Mate!

[Sp1r1T93]

Yup xD

But its so Buggy online xD

I better stop commenting coz this would take up a whole page.

[duderor]

doesnt matter Sp1r1T93! Comment as much as you want my friend!

[Sp1r1T93]

Thanks xD

The first like 20 races are so easy...

[duderor]

np

Yeah i know! TDU just a great game!

[Sp1r1T93]

Its Overclocked at 2.81 now, its really stable. I play Battlefield 2 with 50 - 70 fps now, and cs:s is alot better :D

Thanks again xD

[duderor]

NP my friend. Glad its working alot faster for you!

nice OC too!!

[Sp1r1T93]

:D Well I just OC'd my CPU to 2.40GHz, and I'm getting better performance already xD

How caqn I do a RAID 0? I dont know much about hard drives :P

I have 4GB as a page file :P

[duderor]

Oh I see, Well in that case it is best to buy more ram my friend! Which would help a lot.

RAID 0 basically means 2 hard drive working as 1, which gives Double the data performance!

To setup RAID 0 you would need to have 2 of the same Brand, Same Model, Same Spec! Hard drives

Once you got your hard drive ready!

You will need to setup up the raid controller on the motherboard or raid controller card as Striped Array!

After that is done.

[duderor]

You can either go like this and Install a fresh Windows XP on to the RAID 0 array? Or if you can't be ask to install Windows XP again, You can use the RAID 0 array as an secondary storage and use your main hard drive for XP. And what you do is uninstall Test Drive Unlimited and reinstall it onto the RAID 0 Array this time instead of C:\

If you want windows XP and games to run a lot faster! This is what you do!

[duderor]

Reinstall XP on the RAID 0 Array and trust me you will never regret it! Its so much faster in loading up and shutting down also in opening programs also running games run a lot faster! Cause the texture for those games can be loaded quicker which then gives you the user faster GAMEPLAY Experience!

[duderor]

If your going to head out to the store and buy 2 Hard drives! Make sure you buy SATA 150/300 Hard drive. NOT ATA100/133 Hard drives!!!!

Good Luck Mate!!

I'm here to help if you come across problems!

[Sp1r1T93]

Ive got this game. My 7600gs 512mb agp barely runs this, probably coz I have a 2.0GHz processor.

But I dunno how you can run this maxed out with just 700mhz more than me :/

[duderor]

hi Sp1r1T93!

Thanks for commenting! this vid was taken on my old setup! also i even stated how i OC the GPU and CPU clocks abit! also I had an RAID 0 setup on that system which boost my data Performance to double! so games like TDU would load the textures faster which would give smooth gameplay! also i was using 2gb as virtual ram from that Array! which help even more!

remember its best to run TDU on sata 150/300 hard drive! trust me! it does help alot!

Good luck mate!

[TheRB1994]

thanks for the reply and advice

[duderor]

np TheRB1994. Happy to help!

[TheRB1994]

can this game run on

x1600xt radeon graphics card 256mb

2 gb ram

intel celeron d 3.06gz

?????????????????????????

please answer ASAP need to know

i want this game soooo badley

[duderor]

hi TheRB1994. sorry i was busy with stuff. it should play ok.

please make sure you install TDU on a sata/sata2 hard drive to for best gameplay performance!!

Trust me on this!!

[TheRB1994]

can this game run on

x1600xt radeon graphics card 256mb

?????????????????????????

please answer ASAP need to know

i want this game soooo badley

[duderor]

yep it can Carbon517! To get best performance. Install TDU on and SATA1/2 Hard!

why may ask. With the Sata Bus, It can Transfer twice more data than an ATA100/133 bus could! which means more textures in TDU can be loaded faster. which gives you better gameplay!

Thanks for commenting!!

Also this vid was taken on my old rig!

I'll make another vid to show off my dual core rig soon!!

[Carbon517]

can TDU Run on this specs :

AMD Athlon X2 4000+ 2.1 Ghz,1GB of Ram,Nvidia GeForce 7600GT can u let me know ASAP
