Got my friend a Geforce FX 5500 PCI...what games will run well?

Question

He seems quite happy with it. Says he is running WoW full spec, no problems. I was wondering what games i could get him that would work well with his system. I was thinking Halo and Lego Star Wars 2 would be a start. But i'm just not sure what will run well. I just found out today that there are 6200s out there for about the same price we got him his FX 5500 but i heard those are unreliable. Do i have a reason to feel bad? Or should the FX 5500 be fine?

Answer 1

The FX 5500 is an outdated budget card that is SLOW for current games. To play new games you must use LOW resolution and LOW Quality settings. For a few more bucks, you could get better gaming performance w/ newer/faster cards.
