op u should try out
batman arkham city
arkham origins
virtual tennis
COD black ops 1,2
assassins creed liberation
dark sector
call to jaruez
sims 3 ,4
Apache
medal of honor 4 and airborne
prince of Persia games 4,5

singularity
these are the few I can remember that played well on my Intel HD 128mb graphics. but will add more titles too.

Noted, I will try these out. Currently downloading about 25 games to try so it'll be after I try those. Hopefully more than 50% work..I've had issues with some games being duds.

Gaming › Re: Graphic Settings To Get 60+ FPS With AMD 290/290X by AKBliv010(op): 10:02pm On Jul 12, 2016

With the release of support for Vulkan, a low level API for DOOM 2016, I'll be deviating from just getting 60FPS but comparing the performance between using OpenGL and Vulkan on the AMD 290X. Game currently being downloaded from Steam so will update soon.

Max Payne 3 ran on mine. Intel HD 4000 with VRAM of 128MB

What resolution/image quality settings do you use? I'll be testing this title soon so it'll be good for comparison purposes.

hmm kontinue, Gta 5 won't run .. on it.. heavy rain, max payne3 , NBA 2k16, FIFA 16

I hear that...Intel HD graphics has never been sold as good for graphic intesive loads so I'm choosing my titles carefully to show which ones can run and are 'playable'.

Nah. I deleted some files i now desperately need back.

Spoke to a mate and he suggested Power Data Recovery or Paragon backup & Recovery, if you haven't already sorted it. He advised installing on another drive.. goodluck pal

Title: Red Faction: Armagedon
Resolution: 800x600, Low settings
Genre: Action
Comments: Right from the beginning, average framerate was 9FPS, input lag was unbearable.

Gaming › Re: Gaming On Intel HD Graphics by AKBliv010(op): 9:28am On Jul 11, 2016

Title: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Resolution: 640x480, Low settings
Genre: Action
Comments: This title worked and was playable for the most parts. In closed-off areas/inside building the average framerate was 49FPS, very smooth. Framerate however took a dive to an average of 24FPS during gun battles/open area, which was still playable. Stutter is noticeable but not frustrating to quit game.

Title: Devil May Cry 5
Resolution: 640x480, Low settings
Genre: Action, Adventure
Comments: Right this one surprised me. Here's a 2013 title that actually played well albeit in windowed mode @ 640x480, low settings. The iGPU was able to keep an average framerate 23FPS...biggest dips when new scene is loaded. Not by any means the best experience but still playable. This is still one of my favorite 'hack 'n' slash' title.

Title: Gears of War
Resolution: 600x450, Low settings
Genre: Action shooter
Comments: This took me way back when I had the Xbox 360..it was an all time favorite. Although the average framerate recorded was 24FPS, the stutters made it unplayable. If you've got a beefier iGPU+CPU clocks. This game is a MUST! grin

Cc Oluwaseunsodiq, thanks for pointing this one out. There's no GoW 2/3 for PC cry

Nice thread, currently game on intel Hd 5500...core i5
You've got to know how to tweak ur intel HD to enjoy it.

This is very true, it's not just the game setting but the system itself. Many users have so many processes running in the background eating up system resources and they complain it's too slow.

Oluwaseunsodiq:
Lol, yea i meant both ultra high and ultra low settings. Will you be testing post-2010 games?

I'd like to but seeing as I'm barely getting playable framerate (25FPS +) at the lowest setting possible, there's isn't any need to increase the image quality tbh.
Any post 2010 game you'd like to see tested?

Title: Dragon Age: Origins
Resolution: 800x600, Low settings
Genre: RPG
Comments: Average framerate 23FPS. I was able to get this running with Texture Detail as high, although it didn't do much and suffered a 7-8% drop in framerate. This was playable being an RPG.and cutscenes made it ok to deal with little stutters.

Title: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Resolution: 640x480, Low settings
Genre: Action Shooter
Comments: Average framerate 29FPS...this was actually fun to play. At 29FPS, gameplay experience was very good. If you aren't bothered by the windowed mode, then get this title. I'll be keeping this game on my laptop, on-the-go gaming with a controller grin

Comments: Average framerate 15FPS, not playable even at the lowest screen resolution. This is a game I'll enjoy with playable framerates.

Title: Warhammer: Dawn of War-Soulstorm
Genre: Real Time Strategy
Comments: 1368x768 with highest settings available, average framerate 50FPS. This was very playable and the gameplay experience was very good at 50FPS. I could have tried higher resolution but I'd stick to my monitor native.

Right! I've had to make some adjustments for these test. This isn't a test of the Asus X202E rather the Intel HD Graphics and I've stumbled across a problem. The high temperature during testing causes the CPU clock speed to drop by 40%, from 1.4Ghz to 0.8Ghz which is not good at all. New plan is to butcher the laptop, point a fan at CPU cooler and connect it to my monitor. If I can keep the processor cool and below 85C it won't throttle. At idling, I've already seen the temps drop from 60C to 46C

edit max temps now is 70C which means my CPU clocks remain at 1.4Ghz at all times

Nice!
I played Battlefield 3 on an intel HD 4000 PC with 4GB ram and a 500GB HDD when it came out. The frame rate used to fluctuate between 18 and 25 FPS on the lowest settings possible at 800 × 600 resolution with aspect ratio option as centre instead of "maintain aspect ratio". Some games run better on it though. Tomb raider 2013 ran better on it though.

4th gen iGPU will be much better than the suicidal mission I'm putting mine through.
I neva start and loading times are already getting on my nerves

Oya carry on brother, this should be interesting.

But it look like you're using an external hard drive, i hope you know that will contribute to slow downs it's basically a bottleneck.

The external drive is connected to a USB3.0 controller so it will be much faster than using USB2.0... I won't have done it with USB2.0.

Seeing a lot of NL gamers have laptops with Intel HD graphics and with the a few questions about what games to play, I decided to put my laptop through hell: 40 titles over the next few days/weeks will be tested...let's see how much torture it can survive. I've chosen titles from 2009/2010 as the processor was manufactured Q3'12, titles in that year and later would most probably not work or perform poorly. All unnecessary startup programs have been disabled, and background running processes have been minimized as much as possible to have system running in it's optimum state. vRAM configuration in BIOS increased to 512MB. FRAPS is used to monitor framerate, gpuz to monitor temperature, clock speeds etc.

Ok, to the system specs
Model: Asus X202E
CPU : intel i3-2365M, 2C/4T clocked at 1.4Ghz
iGPU: Intel HD Graphics- Base frequency 300Mhz, Boost 1GHz. Memory 667Mhz

RAM : 4GB 1333Mhz
Storage: 256GB SSD + 2TB HDD for games

A faster Dual Core with Hyperthreading or a quad core processor 2.0Ghz+ should perform better.

Was ur Antivirus on when u downloaded it and wat did u use in downloading it? Because I used idm, it downloaded fully 4.84 gb but it said corrupt when I tried installing it

Antivirus was active (you could try diactivating it). I didn't use idm , as my connection is pretty stable so less chance of dropping. My PES 2016 ISO file is 5.07GB though.
