would this computer handle newer video games?

my husband plays Golf and several other games, neither very new. Not sure about the newest games.

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

I believe it would. I have thrown Rome 2 total war,left for dead 2,killing floor as well as DayZ Standalone and not once have I had any issue.Its a solid computer with an amazing graphics card......yes outdated but, not weak lol

Well any computer can run anything if you upgrade it enough. So basically with those upgrades you're simply asking if the stock NVIDIA GPU that it comes with can handle it, and I'd say probably yes. But it may be more economical to find a tower that has a better CPU and power supply and invest in a top of the line graphics card for it.

Most likely it will work fine, but it is not a very high end video card, so there are no guarantees.

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

Sorry, I really am not sure as I bought it for my sister as a basic computer. I'm also not familiar with the speed and RAM memory requirements for those games, but would think it would be a risk as the video graphics engine is built into the mother board and may not have enough video memory to give a good smooth performance as this is a computer with about 10 year old technology.

Not sure what your processor or memory capability is but I used an 8800GT video board and the game worked fine. Game play is above average to good.

This card is somewhat dated and doesn't have the power of newer cards.It will play most games but not at high resolution or high frame rates.Check game documentation for minimum system requirements.

Depends. If your looking at as is only simple games will run. If you go. With this PC, make sure you get a good graphics card and maybe upgrade the memory. To play the newer games, it will be a must to upgrade the graphics card. Hope this helps.

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.

I think so, but more than likely you will only utilize 32-bit of your system. I suggest you look into an upgrade for 64-bit systems only.

Its an 9400 i believe. As far as gaming, well it really depends on the game. Its an atom processor, so you can check on-line for other computers with the atom and if it works fine on other systems, then it should be fine on this one. Everyone that ive talk to says win 7 will work fine. You will need an external CD drive. 1.6GH is a good speed for most applications. But anything that requires a power house for a computer, this will not work. Its made for simple day to day activitys or a workstation. A lot of people are using the HDMI out to use it as a media computer. linuxMCE is a good example, XBMC, or the win7 Media Center.

Yes it can run some of the modern games it even runs games like Sims 3 but good luck getting it to run games like Skyrim with out an upgrade

Yes you can game with this CPU. Please check with game for specification requirements.

of course it will work, best card I ever owned for the price. and no there's no cpu requirement. pretty much the games run off the ram on the card.

You'll want a better graphics chip for gaming. It could probably run, but not terribly well.
