My friend is on a huge budget and I need to know if a 9600pro 256mb will run CS:S in 800X600 with medium to low settings on this setup.


AMD 2400
256mb ddr

(yes i know the ram should be at 512 at least, but he doesn't care at all about graphics, just wants it to run)

Thanks

it should be fine. my FX5200 pushes out CS:S at higher resolutions. not elegantly, but nontheless, it runs :D
 
That card will have no problem running CS:S. My roomate has one with a 2.6 ghz intel and it can play at 1024x768 no problem.
 
I agree, 256MB of RAM barely will sustain XP, little own CS:S on top of that. RAM is fairly cheap, especially if you buy from another forum member. See if he can find two 512MB sticks, or even a 1GB stick if possible.
 
I have a 9500pro, a P4 2.4, and 512 megs of RAM, and it runs fine for me at that resolution. Well, actually, I only have Counter Strike Condition Zero, I imagine the requirements are near the same?

He should spend the $20 and pick up another stick of RAM.
 
CZ and CSS are two different games, CZ is a graphically improved version of 1.6. Source is on a new engine. I initally ran the source beta on a 9500, athlon XP 2 ghz, and 512 mb of ram. It ran fine.

Click to expand...

Ditto? :)

My eldest daughter runs CSS find and dandy on a 9600pro with an XP2500+ for a good long while with 512MB (slightly better system now tho... 2800+ w/ gig o'ram)

Peace,

9600pro still holds its own, even with some new games. My old roomie played BF2 on medium settings VERY well with it.

9600pro ftw!
 
I have a laptop 9600pro and used to have the desktop 9600pro. Both will run it perfectly and at a higher res than you mentioned.
