Gothic II
Same story. About 30-40 fps @ 640x480 (but will all settings maxed) in the beginning (after you get out of the tower). Feels playable. I will increase resolution and see what happens and how it scales.

Get a 9800 Pro or GeForce 6xxx for this game its highly recommend.
I remember we played the Demo on 9200 Radeon and it was much faster on 1280x1024 then your GeForce Ti in 640x480.
Also P4 CPU.
Something is wrong here!

I also played Morrowind with much more Speed on a P3 CPU.. 😳

Like I said in the OP. I am not looking to maximize the system. I will not be looking at December 31st and see what was available then. I am simply building a typical 2002 game system. Because as it happened, those were the parts I had.

In Gothic II actually, I can run 1280x1024x32 with 40+fps. So that seems more than playable. For the purpose of this build I do not need more than that.
In Morrowind, same story. Everything maxed (view distance, AI distance, pixel shading on) and 1024x768 and the game still stays above 30. Also playable and enjoyable.

The only game I am struggling with (and that is because as others have pointed out it is 2 years newer) is Doom 3. But that is fine, I will play that on a different machine 😀
