Quake3World

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?

yikes, dont think so.

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?

Yes
