besides crysis and its iterations, GTA IV, and far cry 2?

I'm posting this in tech because it has to do with my new hardware


and I downloaded rivatuner, but I couldn't figure out how to control fan speeds, how do I do that? (MSI 9800GT OC, 4 pin fan connector, temp sensors on RAM and chip, I'm pretty sure it has fanspeed controls somewhere)

This thread is worthless without specs for the millionth time.

9800GT
2gb RAM
XP
lol SINGLE CORE OC 4000+ 939 (10~% could probably go 15 or 20 now)

okay that's enough ,laugh all you want (i plan on upgrading the junk parts, CPU/mobo/HDD/case in the coming 2~ monthes)

but so far this rig has ran everything, it runs GTA IV on medium settings (I always run low resolutions, yea yea, 1024x768 because I don't like the higher res') with a few hitches, but really anything i've thrown at it, it runs it fine

There is nothing to laugh at my system is almost exactly the same aside from the video card (8800gs). You will be able to run all of those games but not to the extent to where you can really appreciate it. Save the money and buy an AM2 system. An overhaul will cost you less than 250$ cpu, ram and mobo. on newegg.

I use too run an E6600 with 2GB for RAM with my XFX 9800GT, and I could run most games on high with a 1600 X 1080 resolution, without FPS hiccups.

See my sig for my new build...

Doesn't the 4850 run better than the 9800GT for less?  Not sure, but I thought so.

Either way, crysis is still meh.  Running it on a 9800GT at low res is alright, but why buy a new card to run at low resolution?

Naw.. i got a 9800 for 80 bucks CAN cheaper than a 4850, the 9800 is in a good price range right now.
