Can I run it? Episode 1: DOOM 3 on a NVIDIA Geforce 6150SE nForce 430 Graphics card

[halo4life090]

Fuck, I need to upgrade my shitty Graphics card.

I think I'll get a Nvidia 9600gt.

Anyone suggest better, cheaper Graphics cards for me?

[texaschainsawjr]

@halo4life090 Well it all really depends. I'd personally recommend upgrading your power supply unit to one that can run at least 400w so you'll be able to get a stronger card. If you don't want to do that, the Radeon HD 5450 is a pretty good card that you could get without upgrading anything else.

[halo4life090]

@texaschainsawjr I actually kind of don't want to upgrade now. All my pc hardware is very low end. Here they are. I might as well just buy a new PC.

Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

AMD Athlon (tm) Processor 2850e 1.8 GHz

eMachines wmcp78m Motherboard

DDR2 2048 MBytes

Can't believe my Mother bought this for $300 a few years ago. What a POS.

[texaschainsawjr]

@halo4life090 Well be grateful you even have a computer :P But looking at your specs.... yeah..... only 1.8ghz and DDR2...... I'm guessing your PSU barely clocks in at 200w. If you wanna do something about it, build a new one. Buying a premade one will usually be overpriced and barely play games on medium. Building one could save you literally hundreds of dollars and will make most games run at ultra if you get the right parts.

i can play The Witcher with this :D

[texaschainsawjr]

@MentalyFeard I have A LOT of problems when I try to play The Witcher with this card. I get about 12 - 20 FPS when I play. If you've got any tips on how to make it run better, i'd really appreciate it if you shared 'em with me.

not the worsest, there is 2 times worser than 6100/6150. for example gma 950, and 4x worser is intel extreme crap

[Danzoizanagi]

built a budget PC with this chipset and graphics card for HTPC, good to know it can run doom 3 :), might install it

[titiletuln]

it doesent look so bad

[texaschainsawjr]

@titiletuln I don't understand why this Graphics card has been bashed so much. I've actually been able to play alot of great games with it!

[stevenmix00]

@texaschainsawjr because they stereotype integrated cards to suck, well integrated cards are never for gaming

[texaschainsawjr]

@stevenmix00 I understand that they weren't made for gaming, but critics try to act like this graphics card is so bad that you cant even play the original DOOM on it. If you watch my other videos you can very well see that its a pretty good graphics card. You can play games that were made up to about 2006 maybe 2007.

[stevenmix00]

@texaschainsawjr well your right, i actually have the same card as yours, and also tried Doom3, and damn it played well, same for Quake4, and Unreal 1,2,3

[eletctronicboy]

@stevenmix00 you are SO stupid for saying that. my pc with this graphics card run mw3 great on all high settings, douce bag

[texaschainsawjr]

@eletctronicboy That's great and all that you can run MW3, but don't be a jerk.

[tweaker61]

@texaschainsawjr i have 6150LE ad i can play this at full graphics with a decent resolution.

[TweakedCast]

@texaschainsawjr No kidding i got called a troll, idiot, so many other names because i was trying to tell people all the games i tried with this card. Portal 2, All of the COD games work, WaW is kinda weird and i havent tested black ops. All L4D games work. Dead space 2 works, kinda choppy, but i messed with settings a bit. Fear 2 works

[texaschainsawjr]

@TweakedCast Really! I'll have to try out Portal 2 and Fear 2 then!

[TheNorado]

cool
