low spec gaming

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I can play new games today like MW3, BF3, Bioshock infinite, etc. with a pentium dual core 2.8 ghz, ati radeon 4650hd 1gbddr3, 2gb ram at lowest settings or medium?

that would definitley be pushing it, i doubt it :/

you would have to play at a very low resolution at low settings...google those games' minimum hardware requirements to get a better idea

Thanks, i'm planning to upgrade my cpu to quadcore i have an lga775 socket which doesn't support i7 i think, so i have to go with a quad or intel core 2 extreme the cheaper the better.

no problem, i agree, well the good thing is that you can upgrade at a fairly decent price...throw 2gb more RAM on there (instant performance boost at low price), and upgrade to decent quad core, and perhaps look into an older Radeon 5xxxx video card if the budget is tight?

EDIT: spell check ;)

Bioshock infinite , and COD should run fine, but BF3 is pushing it even on lowest.

CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom™ X3 8750 or better

RAM: 2GB

VGA: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600GT / ATI Radeon® X1950Pro or better

DX: DirectX 9.0c

OS: Windows® Vista / XP / 7

HDD: 12GB

Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible

that's the minimum spec for black ops...expect MW3 to be somewhere in that ballpark

If i stay with my radeon4650 but now with a quad cpu with 2gbram would that be enough?

Okay thanks a lot, you guys have been a big help.

I see, that's great! Going to see when the game gets released fingers crossed.

It's okay no problem and thanks for the info.

Maybe i'll upgrade the ram first and see if it can run new games, i can play witcher 2 with lowest settings 20fps and medal of honor at medium at the moment. If still doesn't improve then i'll save up for the quad.

Yeah throw in another 2gis ram and I think you'l be fine for low-med settings on all games.
