Good old 6800 Ultra ;-) A monster card back in 2004.

I'm getting one of these in a few days :D but I'm somewhat concerned if my processor will bottleneck it. It's an old P4 2.0ghz northwood processor, found in the old dell 8200 (which is what I have) I ordered a new PSU a silencer 410 for my computer, and it has 1.5 gigs of ram. Is this enough to run one of these cards?

@TacLeafy Stop wasting your money on old junk , get a cheap AM3 motherboard (60$) AMD x4 (100$) 8gb ddr3 ram ($60) 6670 or 440gt (75$)

@BarackMcBush Don't forget the processor cooling and a good enough power supply to use on all that. oh and then a case. I've already bought a custom pc since that comment though. Also turned out I never got to use the card, the place where I ordered the psu didn't actually have the psu, so meh. Still though, 11 years of service from an 8200, served me quite well :D

Great stuff thanks for sharing, it's really something that such an old card is still so capable, it also goes to show how much console based games are holding back game development.

I loose a lot of frames while recording, but when i'm just playing as normal the framerate is fantasticly good for an old 6800 !

I have tweaked the graphics card settings manualy, to the point were i can get away with resonal texture definition whilst maintaining a high framerate.

To say im even running these games much less record them is insane hahahaha
