Unreal Tournament (UT) runs really well (I know its old but its a clasic).
WC3 runs good @ like the medium settings with size @ native resolution (1024&786).
With Tactical-Ops (a UT mod, like Counter-Strike) I have found that It runs better if you turn the detail all the way up!
Color 16 bit (Haven't really seen a difference between 32 & 16)
World Textural Detail = High
Skin Detail = High
how decals = check
use dynamic lighting = check
Effects detail = High
Particales detail = high
Sound = high
Keep weampon shown
Decrease HUD (minus key in game)
I get like anywere from 27 - 70 fps
on Average it can be like 35 in medium maps.
(I have had some of thoes big ass outdoor maps take me down to 17-25).
Plays it a bit better than my g4 733Mhz digital audio with 32 mb Nivida Geforce 2 mx.
However the screen contrast is a bit better with my desktops crt. Like the black looks better.
