Games with similar specs requirements as UT3

[lissygirl]

I'm looking for some games I can play while I'm saving up for a graphics card. Unreal Tournament 3 runs great at mid to high settings so I'm looking for games with similar spec requirements.

Any ideas?

 

[lmaonade200]

what kind of games do you play? that's a more important question I think

 

[lissygirl]

First person shooters and action games but other suggestions are also welcome

Unreal tournament 3 was pretty early as an unreal engine 3 game (2007 release), so I'm not sure how well OP's computer will run the newer ones.

you can run several valve games like Counter Strike (if you enjoy online shooters), Half-Life, etc and maybe Team Fortress 2 on the lower settings since it's not all that demanding while still being incredibly fun to play.

Well I actually get 60fps and up with Team Fortress 2 on mid to high settings.

I see, didn't know the specs of your computer, was just making a wild guess haha, what kind of resolution can you play TF2 at? Because if you're already playing at a high resolution you may be able to play more demanding games if you lower it.

You should be able to play things like Payday, Max Payne 3, and maybe even Battlefield 3 on lower resolutions and settings

Gears of War runs on the same Engine as UT3 and has some decent graphics still to this day, great gameplay and really gory! I reccomend it

Thanks for those. Playing TF2 on 1024x768.

I'm running an i5 3330 @ 3.2GHz with Intel HD Graphics 2500 if that helps with further suggestions.

not sure if Intel Integrated can run Gears of War, especially the older ones (the newest 4000 is pretty good for an integrated), though it never hurts to try since you'll be getting a new graphics card anyway
