Good news for Intel G965 Users who use integrated graphics

[ironcross77]

Age of Empires* 3


I m able to play that even on my 845.

Actually onboard graphics in 965G has alot of issues, not only the Hardware T/L
So It was not possible to play AOe3

Well Good news again

With New XP beta driver the non plyable gams like Call of Juarez & Brothers in arms Both are playable

There was no trouble in running Brothers in arms it runs the game smooth @ 1024 @ high settings

But But call of juarez is playable but @ shader model set to 2.0
But low FPS ,,

u can play the game at high settings and low settings both at same FPS Bit weired the game looks very good at high settings

Lost planet DX9 demo is playable but gives message settings is too high or ur system even if i set it too low
If u choose default settngs it takes 1024, AF16x, all settings High oh

With VISTA Beta drivers installed on vista it was even good news

SPLINTER Cell Double Agent & Hitman Blood money both are playable at Playable FPS

SC Double agent @800 @ standard settings
SC Double agent @800 @ next gen settings [Gfx corrupted] still playable

Hitman blood money playable at high and low settings bothat same res but screen flickers here and there

Tried Lost Planet DX10 demo non playable [little too much expected i think ]


I will post Fear benchmarks 2morrow

[s18000rpm]

[yesh1683]

YAHOOOOOO

Counter Strike Source is working.

[s18000rpm]

Has anyone tried this with GTA San Andreas? The antialiasing is permanently disabled. Just wanted to use my onboard GPU to the maximum extent possible.

 

[s18000rpm]

on my PC, GTA SA has sound issues aswell as slow game (low FPS even at lowest gfx./rsln. settings).

btw what sound driver you are using?

mine is Sigmatel 5.10.5258.0002

 

[yesh1683]

Ok here are the FEAR benchmarks

It was tested from FEAR retail version 1.0 full game and in performance i ran test settings it gave full detail on FPS and i have made a chart of it in excel

I ran the game at auto settings , mid and high settings
@ 3 diffrent reloutions 640, 800 & 1024

NOTE at mid settings i disabled SHADOWS and set the shadow details minimum
enabaling shadows drops FPS

^^^ CMR05 i dont had that issue

Switch to VISTA It has Good drivers i think

One main thing i noticed in Vista is games wont restart

One more it can play games that are not playable in XP

The main reason could b

The AGP acceleration in XP is DISABLED
The AGP acceleration in VISTA is ENABLED

VISTA better for gaming atleast wen X3000 is considered

I'm not having any of that. The FPS is a bit low at Very High graphics, but at high graphics works fine. i'm using the driver version 5.10.5208.0 . Sound works fine. Is antialiasing working for you?

 

[s18000rpm]

@yesh1683, its CMR04 (not 05), i too dont have any issue with CMR05 except slow game(FPS)

Is antialiasing working for you?

didnt notice that, now i un-installed the game, as it was too slow & to save HDD space, so cant check right now.

 

[yesh1683]

X3000 Still wont have support for antialiasing
so u cannot enable AA in any games

 

[adithyagenius]

Thanks yesh1683
Now its confirmed that F.E.A.R cannot be played onbaord graphics.

Is indigo prophecy / fahrenheit working at playable framerate?

Thanks yesh1683

Well F.E.A.R is playable at 25 FPS
I completed full game
I played at 800 at mid settings and some settings set to low
[the graphics can be tweaked a lot in FEAR, U should work with trial and error to find good FPS on onboard]

Well indigo prophecy / fahrenheit was working on my old 845 board

I havent checked that yet on this board,, it most probabaly will play at high settings, i will check and post within 2 days
