Neilis Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yes - those games are not designed for those specific card, but rather either for OpenGL or Direct3D. While newer versions of both (and the cards to go with them) support some new features, they always have backwards compatibility to run games designed for previous versions. The HD2600 is faster than the cards you listed so you should be fine.

bor4s Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thank you for the response. Do you know where I can read more about HD 2600 and what it is capable of?

kerberosv2 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I have the cheapest iMac with the 2GHz Core 2, 1GB RAM (Added 512MB more) and Radeon 2400 Pro and it runs Call of Dusty 4 Modern Warfare on lower graphics, but it cures my gaming addiction. iMac gets a bit hot, so you need to make sure it is out in a ventalated area. (Not on a desk with a hutch 1 inch above the iMac like mine was!!) I'll try to get back with you with the results of some more games...

Nano2k Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 You gotta watch out with the M (mobile) chips from Nvidia because even if they may share the same hardware than the desktop versions, the clockspeeds are slower, meaning lower performance. The 2600HD is like old tech now... even if it will run everything.
