fallout 3 and NFS Undercover

[overlord20]

I was checkin the requirements for both these games. it seems like my system could run NFS Undercover Fine (no xbox but i do have xbox controller for my comp). and fallout 3 seem skeptical but thought i might ask.

You'd be really struggling.

 

[overlord20]

okay... would i struggle on NFSUC?

I would say you most likely will have some lag.

 

[overlord20]

i see.. well im going to pick it up monday.. and see..

dude, both games will struggle, maybe like 24-28 fps on bare minimum settings on low-res

I recommend checking
Can You RUN It? to test and find out for sure.
But your video card is below the minimum listed
listed here

it says 128mb pixle shader2.0 on the box..

video memory isn't a good indicator of card performance.. neither is the pixel shader version.. those requirments are simply to be able to 'run' the game, anything less would simply not even open or have severe performance issues

forget what the box says, don't even bother with that link either, it's a generalized recomendation that's meant to accomodate the average person, but the estimates are always incredibly off (more so for minimum specs than with recommended).. I'm telling you that it will run like crud... don't bother running either game with that horrendously weak setup.. only way it'll work is if you set everything to low and play on lowest res possible, and only then will you be getting like maybe 24 fps max, which is just barely comfortable..
