I have a 9500 GT 1GB. I am playing at 1360 x 768. Is it good enough for Black Ops and what settings do you reckon I would be playing at.

Thanks.

Should be fine, since the 8600gt is the minimum requirement (I think). and the 9500gt is just a rebranded 8600. Wouldnt count on any high resolutions or pretty graphics though

It should run the game at low to medium settings without too much trouble.. but it's an awful shame to see an i7 saddled with a 9500GT for a GPU.

haha. im guessing you're going to be upgrading in the near future? but in the meantime, you'll be fine running it at medium at that resolution.

Give the guy a break. Perhaps he didn't have enough money to build an uber powerful rig from the start and decided to use the 9500GT as a placeholder until he could get a much better CPU.

What? An obsolete slow card as a placeholder? Yes, that is a great idea.

I sense sarcasm.. If so then its easier to replace a graphics card than a cpu, if it wasn't sarcasm then yeah its what i did, upgrade gradually :P

It could have been an old card he carried over from a previous rig. My point is that there could be a sensible reason as to why he has that particular card.

What's the point of building your rig around the most expensive CPU and chipset on the market if it means you're not going to be able to afford a decent GPU?

Its good enough to play most games, albeit at low settings. He can just upgrade in the future. Or judging from his PSU it was a prebuilt computer.

OK, so it should run on low to medium...at least I can get the game. Yeah, didn't have enough money for a better GPU at the time, and thought it was easier to upgrade a GPU. I do really want a new GPU now, and have been looking. Thinking about the GTX 460 1GB and a new PSU. The PSU came with the case. but it's not a prebuilt computer.
