How does my GPU rank??

[nickc07]

Ok long story short I was trying to play Age of Conan and nv4_disp driver kept failing come to find out I think my 7900GTX is fried. I talked to BFG they said send it back and we will have you a new one within 2 weeks.

One of my friends has a 8500GT video card he is going to lend me. My mobo doesnt have onboard video so I ateast need something to check email and such. Will this 8500GT power Age of Conan for a couple of weeks?? Below are the requirements of the game.

My Rig:
E2140
GA-P35-DS3L
2GB PC6400 CAS4 Ram
8500GT until my 7900GTX comes in.


Minimum Specifications:
OS: Windows Vista/XP
Processor: 3GHz Pentium IV
RAM: 1GB RAM
Video Card: Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM: NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800

Recommended Specifications:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (E6600) or better
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better
RAM: 2GB or more

It should be enough but the framerate/level of detail/image quality will likely be miserable. What screen resolution do you play at?

EDIT : Or maybe not so miserable:

hehe Thanks for the quick reply.

I wanted to run 1280x1024 but I am will to stay at 1024x768 until the new card comes in.

I was running the game at low settings for now because I was worried my CPU was going to cripple the proformance of the game. I will be able to try this tonight when I get off work.

If your CPU is overclocked(who's isn't these days?) I really doubt it will cripple performance. The 2.4GHz of an E6600 for recommended specs are also quite low so it should run well even at stock (at 1280x1024).
