What games can be expected to be played on 7300GT

[DCEite]

Hi all.
I am an occasional gamer.
Can you tell me what all games can i play on my Geforce 7300GT 128bit 256MB video card and at what res/settings?
I have a Core2Duo 46300, 1GB ddr2 ram.

Not necessarily latest games, but games from 2005,2006 would do.

thanks!

Elsder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, Caesar 4, Secret-Files:Tunguska and many many more. For more Goto nzone.com, select a game and click "Can you run this game"

pretty much anything, but you'll need to turn down the settings quite a bit in the very latest games. you might want to upgrade your ram to 2 GB, regardless.

thanks for the replies.

one more thing, what is the SLI mode? does 7300GT support it? and how to activate it?
thanks

SLI? read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface

SLI 7300GT would be a waste of time and money. A single 7600GT will be faster than two 7300GTs.

So you mean to Enable SLI in games i need two 7300GTs? When i read reviews about 7300GT, it showed increased frame rate with SLI turned on... what did that mean?

SLI isn't really a setting to be turned on or off. SLI simply refers to the usage of two nvidia cards together. You also need a motherboard that you can hook up 2 video cards to, which you probably don't have. Even though you might think having 2 cards will double performance, it doesn't. Like Noema said, you'd be better off getting a single better card than two 7300's.

SLI = 2 or more video cards, sharing the load to render 3D.

Did you read the wikipedia article?

While I agree that 2 GB of RAM would be better than 1, it would be a waste of $$. For <100 you could get a 7600gt which would have much better returns than another gig of ram.

Probably not.

nVidia SLI only works on an nForce4 (nVidia) mobo with either 2x16x PCIe or 2x8x PCIe.

There 3 ways in which nVidia uses SLI: Split-frame rendering where each SLIed videocard divided up the screen according to the complexity of said scene.

2) This is the main one: Alternate-frame rendering (AFR)

3) And for general compatability we use Alternate-frame rendering2 (AFR2)

Unfortunately Nvidia's drivers do not support vsync even though they claim to do so.
I find this extremely annoying as I hate screen tearing. I want my game to run like a continuous movie. Nice and fluid, know what I'm sayin'?
