What games do you guys like the most on your PC? I enjoy Call of Duty, Half Life 2, Command and Conquer, Rome: Total War and Halo. Also comment here about your hardware (video/soundcards) and how you rate their performance. :nanner:

Far Cry, Half Life 2, Empires - Dawn of the modern world. Probably the 3 I've been playing to death recently.

As for spec:

Athlon 3200
1 GB RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro
For sound, I rely on Nvidia's Nforce 2 (Soundstorm) - seems as good as most dedicated cards.

Soon be upgrading to 64 bit - just waiting for Windows to release a retail version of XP 64 (Not the one that's free for download at the moment).
First benches for dual graphics cards look amazing, so can't wait.

Battle Realms, Warlords Battlecry III

nVIDIA is what I use on mine, works great for me.

half life 1 was probably the best game ive ever played, I like HL 2 a lot too - jus ton the bit where the revolutions starting! Amazing

Doom 3 was good, just becuase it was shit scary! But i also like games like Baldurs gate - I can get lost for days in those.....

i have a pentium 3.2 w/HT, 1 G RAM, Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT, Soundbalster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer, 5.1 dolby sourround w/subwoofer, 17in. high definition flatscreen. All perform excellent and haul ass. No lag during game play.

:wave2: Cheers - yours is pretty amazing too. Think when 64 bit really takes off, we'll notice a great improvement in game development.
HL2 & Doom 3 are already pushing the boundaries, but with Nvidia's Dual graphic card set up and 64 bit - should be sweet.
Know ATi are also developing dual graphic card technology, so should be interesting to see who comes out on top. My hunch is Nvidia will take the performance lead, as they've been enhancing the Nforce platform for a few years now - and this is being extended to the Pentium range as well.

Only drawback's going to be price for most people, I remember reading an article that said most US gamers still use the Geforce 4. Can't remember where they got it from, but I think it was from one of Valves Steam surveys.

That said, this year should be pretty amazing for gamers. 64 bit, PCI Express and ever better TFT technology, gotta be a good thing.

you need ram !! doom3 use a lot of ram..
256mo is very small now
you should think upgrade to 512 or 1024 if you want to play doom3...

Made a mistake there - my girlfriends (the one im using now) has 256 - i couldnt remember how much ram ive got so looked it up - but on the wrong pc.... :crash:

Mine has got 1024 ram - still doesnt explain hl2 running slow when i can have doom 3 running on top spec (well....near top)

Dont get me wrong - hl2 is still amazing even on low graphic detail, but it bugs me...

[Jizm]

is your processor speed 2.4 Ghz another? - if so, then it may be the processor.

 

[Jizm]

Well... as most of you know... Im a huge gamer. So here is the list of what is on my computer ATM. I have a whole wall of computer games though. So can't list them all.

World of Xeen. (A 90s DOS based game that is STILL my favorite... Seriously. You can probably download this for free now. And it is awesome!)

Ultima Online (MMORPG Love it and play it most of the time I game.)

World of Warcraft (Tauren Warrior Max Level, Orc Shaman Lvl 47, and Troll Priest Lvl 35 I love the Horde!!! Orcs are my favorites. I want goblins to be playable! Its no fair that gnomes got in but not goblins.)

Warcraft III and Expansion.

Battle For Troy. (Actually this is kinda crappy.)

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. (Pretty fun.)
