Games suitable to be played on 8600GT - 1Gb

I have a core2duo 2.2Ghz, 1Gb ddr2 ram, 8600gt with 1Gb video ram.

I plan to play games like Bioshock 2, Fallout 3, Left4dead, GTA IV, CoD: world at war, NFS Undercover, Dead Space, Farcry2, Crysis warhead, Sacred 2 fallen angel,the witcher, F.E.A.R.2 Project origin(not released yet), Mass effect, Mirrors edge and so on...

Any suggestions or comments? What settings should I use.

If anybody knows pls specify the game and its optimized setting

I have exactly the same rig except for my 2G of RAM

I can run most of those at default high settings except for GTA4, Crysis Warhead, NFS Undercover

I think Bioshock, FEAR, COD4, Company of heroes and HL2, probably more but those run good on my 8600GT.

O yeah, i think for Fallout 3, your going to have to play with default settings.

The 1GB of the 8600GT won't make much of a difference compared to a 256mb 8600GT but adding another GB of ram will help. Most games of today should run fine on high settings at 1280x1024. Future games will have to likely to be played with medium settings or so.

Like others have said games such as BioShock, Mass Effect, The Witcher, NBA 2K9 run perfect for me at 1280x1024 everything maxed. For games like Crysis and GTA IV the settings will have to be toned down. For Crysis custom configs can tweak the game to improve performance considerably.

Fallout 3 should be playable on high or max settings since my laptop which has a 8600M GT can run it very well with ultra settings, shadows medium at 1280x800. Haven't played it on my desktop.

I don't have GTA IV yet but it doesn't seem to optimised that great so its hard to tell since much more powerful systems are struggling.

I had 7600 gt (i heard its bether than 8600 gt lol ) and i could run bioshock max with crappy processor

Im sorry to post such irrelevant stuff on this thread, but is the 8600m gt better than 8600gt?ongbak90

No, if fact it's slower. How much slower depends on what versions you are comparing(ddr2 or ddr3).
