Games I can play with incredibly old graphics card?

GeoHandle

Ive recently build myself a new gaming pc, but the graphics card I bought was faulty so ive had to send it back. Im currently using one ive borrowed from my friend, GPU-Z says its "NV43 A4" from 2004 which google associates with geforce 6600, though the card itself has no identifers, so ive got no idea. Any games anyone knows that ill be able to play for free while I wait to get a new graphics card? (Ive already tried minecraft, it wouldn't start and then after driver updates it just starts with a transparent screen.) The CPU im using is the 3700x so it doesn't matter if the games are pretty much all CPU intensive.

Probably games from the era, like Counterstrike Source, Unreal Tournament, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, etc. will play well.

Doom 3 will run at 640x480 at around 70FPS on high.

 

I have a 6600GT. It struggled to even run Full Spectrum Warrior at a stable FPS. Windows 10 though.

It will barely run any of those games above 20FPS beyond Doom 3 & CS Source.
