Answer 2

I have a Geforce 8500 GT 512 MB. The most demanding PC game at the moment has to be Crysis and I can run that on low settings. You should be able to run (nearly) everything that is out now but not in style. A modern game that I've played is Mass Effect. I can run this on high settings but on a low resolution (1024x768) and I get a framerate of +/- 20 frames per second which is playable but not great. You should be able to play Doom 3.

Here's a video to show you how Mass Effect runs on an 8500 GT to give you an idea of the card's gaming capabilities: http://revver.com/video/1101135/mass-eff...

If you need to know the performance of a certain game on your system, just type in the title of the game and your video card in Youtube's search engine. There are many people who help other gamers by making videos. Here's a video of Doom 3 on an 8500 GT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYvXNXS7A...

If medium or even low graphics on modern games bother you, you should consider upgrading. I'm going to buy a Geforce 9600 GT soon. If you upgrade a video card you should remember that you may need a better power supply.
