Well from what Urmal said you should have problems with most 3d games.. but at least you can download and test Nexuiz for free
There are some low setting config files included. You can use them by opening the console (shifft-escape) and entering exec low.cfg;vid_restart
the same but normal.cfg makes it use the defaults again.

Can I still play the game in
good performance if I go with low settings??
I'm saying all this because I've not installed
the game yet?

Depending on what You expect by "good performance", general performance of Your Laptop (?) and Your tweaking skills. Nevertheless it's worth a try.

Plz dont forget to tell us about yer efforts

Running First test
on ATI Xpress 200!
wish me luck

Don't worry, I can
play Unreal 2003 and Counter-Strike:Source!

[tChr]

It actually wiorks with my Matroix G550.. after low.cfg i run at ~20 FPS @800x600

[ZMX]

Test Completed!
//Final_results are in,
the game in normal.cfg is
pretty slow becaus of the
powerfull OpenGL & other
small things that are in the game
makes it very hard for it to run
very fast.
//exec low.cfg
yes, this did make the game goes
insanly fast and is very kick
butt like.
//Last_words
I would like to know what kind of like
engines and graphic programs does this
game run! because my computer runs awsomness
on the Half-life2 & Source games, as well as
Unreal 2003?? It is because of this game does
not use DirectX or D3D???
Still. I like this game and I hope it grows bigger and bigger
in time, hopefully I'll open a demand once this game becomes
really huge I'll protest to try to get this game on Cyber Leagues
of all kinds

The game uses an engine called darkplaces, wich is written by Forest (LordHavoc) Hale, and based upon the quake 1 engine. Note that the engine is heavily modified, and not like a lot of people say, "quake 1". It uses darkplaces

More info about htis can be found of you read the info on www.nexuiz.com

I would have taken a 7900, but so many people are having artefacts and lockups issues with those cards

These are mostly related to pre-overclocked cards. A number of manuafacturers have pushed the cards a little too far and they are suffering from heat problems. You can get round this though by having better case cooling or using your computer in a cooler room, this does not mean using air conditioning.

Unfortunatly, this is only what was believed in the begining, because there do were other issues with the factory overclocked cards, they would freeze for a few seconds once in a while and then resume "normal" opertation. But the artefacts and complete lockup issues happen with both overclocked and NVIDIA frequencies cards, regardless of the manufacturer. Look at MSI's and ASUS sites, they make non overclocked cards and people are having problems with those too, it may just take more time before they brake. There are many rumors about the source of this problem, and almost all of them incriminate the RAM's voltage regulator on the back on the card. It's overheating, it's just not strong enough for these cards or the factory that manufactures almost all 7900 received a bad batch of regulators.... Some people on eVGA's forum say they have been told by eVGA when trying to do a RMA, to wait because they are working on a solution with NVIDIA and they can't garanty they would send a working card right now.http://www.evga.com/community/messageboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16519

Well, for now I'm delaying the purchase of my computer until the problem is officially fixed. I just can't convince my self to buy a 7600GT that would ALREADY be unable to run many games with all effects when I thought for so long I would have a 7900... Not to mention the power requirements of the upcoming DX10 cards are said to be between 130W and 300W just for the card, so I'm not so sure about taking a 7600GT in the mean time just to replace it for a GF 8 later, it would cost me a big power supply in addition to the cost of the card itself ! It's depressing, 4 years ago I bought my GeForce 2 Ti for less than what a 7600GT costs today and it was still capable of runnnig ANY game with foul effects for some time.

ppc or x86 ?

I'd just like to note, that I have a 7600GS (Asus Top Silent model with 550/950 clocks instead of the standard 400/800) and I can't enable all the effects. I can enable everything besides "realtime world lights" which causes framerate drops below 30fps in 1024x768 without AA.
