what kinda fps shoudl one buy if they only have a vid card with 48 mb of video card memory?

edit: and a goood oen would be nice....like a good fps with multiplayer

I'm going to say "none". Personally, I think you should look at upgrading your card instead of buying more games.

I think Medal of Honor: Allied Assault only requires 32mb. however, it requires OpenGL support, and if you're running a card that only has 48mb of memory (kind of weird number), it may not support OpenGL.

did they even have cards with 48?

crusher: i don't think so, i've certainly never heard of one.

in answer to your question:
quake 3, unreal tourny (original)

you won't be able to run anything more current than those two.

Rainbow Six... Rainbow Six:Rogue Spear, and Ghost Recon maybe.

The thing is, if your vid card is slow, it stands to reason that the rest of your machine is as well. Playing multiplayer is just going to be one big frustration. Chances are if the game lags on single player, it will be a slideshow in multi. Keep that in mind.

alright but im not buying a comp til feb.
and i wanted something to kill some time over the holidays, soemthing cheap
and yeah its strange but it is 48 mb...i even checked myself

edit: its an integrated card, so thats why iguess

[tasty danish]

with integrated you might not be able to play even those.

Lest we forget... Quake 2 and its mission packs, it comes with the quake4 delux edition or you can find a copy in used game stores or by asking around. Its still fun even after the more modern games.
And it used to run fine on my old 533 celeron with integrated video.
Enjoy!

If you want to kill time, I suggest downloading one of the free FPS' out there. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is quite good and its system requirments are pretty modest.
