So I've been working with my Dell workstation 450 and was wondering if my GPU is fine for the following :). I also have a 604 Xeon 3.06ghz as my main processor and will get the second processor soon.

So the graphics card in question is a ASUS Radeon AH3450 256mb. Overall the card is serving me well.

So far I've tried Half Life 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. The performance was really good . A game that failed was Payday The Heist but I expected it to.

Now the games I'd like to try are::
Call of Dury 4 and possibly 5
Far cry 2
Fallout 3/Vegas
Mafia 2
Halo 2

Thanks and please no upgrade your computer comments :)

I wrote this while I was absolutely exhausted and couldn't concentrate at all so sorry for leaving out the question but pretty much I'm asking, would this perform well or just enough for the games to run and be playable

As the games are cheap now, I guess I could try them out. Just wanted to see if anyone had input on its performance.

Thanks!
