Ditch the geforce and get a radeon 8500 or better GPU. Some of the games from that era had Tessellation. Also try out some gems like Sacrifice, Evolva, Battle zone 2 etc. :p

I haven't heard of any of those games. Now I need to check them out. Discovering new PC games is so fun.

Some of them are the most highly acclaimed PC titles. lol
Sacrifice was interesting in that it blended Action 3rd person with RTS mechanics.


Evolva you can absorb the genome of enemy's you kill to evolve, heaps of fun.



Battlezone 2 is another game that mixed FPS with RTS, so much fun with this game, at first the controls will be a little wonky, but once you learn them, the game really does come into it's own.




It is what I would consider to be the golden years of PC gaming, best graphics, constant new game releases, boundries pushed with genre-mixing and testing of new ideas.
The market has matured now so we don't get many risk-taking like we did back then.

Give Descent, Freespace 2, Turok: The Dinosaur Hunter, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Arcanum, MDK, Dungeon Keeper, Carmageddon, Total Annihilation, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, System Shock 2, Arcanum, Gothic, Dark Reign, Emporer: Battle for Dune, Sanitarium... And I'll stop.
Heck, download Dink Smallwood too, it's free. :P
