I first played Deus Ex in 2006 on a system much newer than the game so I historically have never had issues running it maxed out, but recently I installed it on a much older PC I acquired (an HP Pavilion with a Celeron 600 that I also added a PCI Voodoo3 2000 to) and with the latest official 3dfx drivers it struggles in most action-heavy scenes at 640x480 on the recommended (high, ironically) settings. Was this often the case with computers running the game when it was new? I would imagine that it would be at least a little demanding, seeing how much world simulation stuff Deus Ex has compared other Unreal 1 Engine games.
