I foolishly purchased Enemy Territory: Quake Wars without thinking about the system requirements. My last purchase was Half Life 2 and I was able to play that game on my current video card, a GeForce 4 TI 4800 so I never stopped to think. However, I soon realised that the lowest tier video card from Nvidia that Enemy Territory: Quake Wars supports is the GeForce FX (GeForce 5). 
Is it at all possible to play Enemy Territory: Quake Wars with a GeForce 4 ti 4800 or is it simply impossible and a hardware upgrade is absolutely required?

Read the minimum requirements on the fucking box. They don't print it because of excess ink you know.

Don't bother. The gf 5xxx series, although a solid card for older games, won't pull shit for the newest ones. Invest that money in something worthwile. If you were still running a gf 4 you might even have a system which is not that great for et:qw, what are the other specs?

I'm playing this game on an FX 5900 Ultra. 
Everything is set to low except textures, but it runs like a dream.

Hmm... I have been trying to play the game on my older system with FX 5200. It has the same amount of megs as the minimum (5700), but I gues the technologies are different and it seems to run at smth like 5fps. Is there any commands that would let it normally work?
