Game compatibility

deepak1134 · 01-04-2009, 10:02 AM

I wanna know whether my system would be suitable to play the following games

NFS Undercover
GTA 1V

My system specs :

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.8 GHz
Motherboard D865GBF
1 GB RAM
Geforce 6600, 256 MB Graphics card

Thanks in Advance...

Go to "Can You Run It" website.

The scanning program is very safe and will not harm your system. Choose a game from the list and the program will scan your system to see if it meets the Minimum to High specs, then show what it found. If you need something, it will suggest what to do (upgrade drivers for example)

It is best used as a "guide" as some game engines differ on what they will support.

One suggestion. If you have Intel Intergrated Graphics, part of your RAM is shared with the motherboard. So best to increase that 256 RAM to 512 ....better still to 1 gig. If you do this, your game performance will be a lot better.

Really doubt it.
Minimum specs is either a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo or 2.4Ghz Athlon X2 and a 256Mb 7900 or 256Mb X1900.
Your RAM is just enough though =)

you need to spend around $500 to play GTA 4 I'm not too sure about undercover but for sure a dual core is needed and probably at least 2 gbs of ram

everyone having issues with GTA IV, I doubt that you can play it with your system, it needs a greater CPU and definitely greater RAM and video Card.
about NFS undercover, I got it, and believe me it's lag so much I hate to play it. It got lots of bugs.
anyway Undercover needs a minimum of P4 3 Ghz, 1 Gig of RAM and Geforce 6600. maybe it's time to upgrade your CPU to a greater one, a Dual core or Core 2 Duo will do the job, and if you want a 1gig of RAM.
you can get a 1 gig of RAM for about 15 to 20$ and a brand new CPU for 80 to 150$.
But still your Video card is old now. (I have a Geforce 9400 GT and happy with its simple results but it'll out perform the 6600).
As I always says, this is the gamers curse. Play games pay money, lots of money.
