    hi
    i just registered the forum to reply here. wanted to know if prince of persia sands of time works for you??
    i tested it and it still doesnt work even though it is quite old.
    i have the gma x3100 on a desktop pc.
    EDIT:whoopps my dxdiag says it is not x3100 but 3100, is that a big difference?

    sorry but "quite fine" should mean they run at a playable rate :D, at least should be above about 15FPS with me, I don't think Crysis and Far Cry 2 can get more than 3FPS on x3100
    The 3100 is the desktop version of x3100, not sure about the different but in general they should be almost same, u should update the driver cos I can run Pop SoT also on my x3100

    Well, I'm not much of a gamer, but I can tell you Starcraft runs great! Diablo 2 seems to work just fine as well. Hope this helps! :p

    You are now required to back up these claims with screenshots and FRAPS readings.

    Hey sure.. the crysis 1 and 4 were converted from gif format cause i accidentally saved it in that.. thats why the quality isnt good.. but crysis 6 and 7 are ok.

    Bioshock will be coming next give me a few minutes!

    Uh, I'm sorry, but Crysis will definitely not run well at all on an integrated chip, especially the x3100... :( ;)

    daaaaaamm.. i tried it a couple of months ago, and all i got was black graphics and some red dots. if i remember correctly, it had something to do with shaders.

    i quess ill try again, maybe it has something to do with new drivers.

    Oblivion elderly scrolls (with patch runs very well average 25 fps)
    Need for speed undercover (heard its quite laggy havent tested yet)
    assasins creed (quite slow but works)
    Lost Planet extreme sondition (extremely slow, if ur patient then it ok)
    Call of duty 5 (barely playable)

    so if i wana end this these are the games (except oblivion) not worth the money!

    I heard someguys said that NFS UC runs very well on Windows 7. I haven't confirmed it myself since I don't have the game, in this video it runs excellent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh39GmIjwtY&feature=channel_page
    Fallout 3 runs quite ok with a mod call Fallback, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzL55Uug7HA&feature=channel_page
    Necrovision runs like slow mo but FRAPS shows about 10 to 30 FPS, the same thing happens with Dynasty Warrioirs 6 (heard DY6 was a pretty bad optimized game, even 4850 or 8600 suffer the slow mo also)

    Your info is very doubtful, for one I know crysis will NOT play well (30fps) at even the lowest settings with a 8400m gs (a dedicated card thats a good 4x faster than a x3100) by compatible, you mean your computer will recongize the game and load it right?

    I tried loading COD4 on one, and at 640x480 I would much rather stick my head in the sand for an hour than spend a minute with COD4 on an x3100. Can't speak for the other games, but I know COD4 isn't the most GPU taxing game on the list.

    Easy man cos what jb1007 probably mean isn't the FPS on COD4, he can't stand the ugly graphic at lowest setting of COD4 on x3100.
    But jb1007 for x3100 users that don't have other option to switch to the better GPU( like me now sigh) COD4 run at the lowest setting on x3100 is still a great new, better than never touch the game.
    Can someone tell me will Halo 2 run on Windows 7?

    Just a point to you all, I had problems on Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30, in that all I could get was a blank screen after installing it.
    Spoke to tech people at Urbisoft who were adamant an
    X3100 on my 3 gig ram, Core 2 Due 2,000 speed processor set up couldn't shift it.
    Last night I happened to download some new drivers of the Intel site, and bugger me, the game now plays fine - at high setting too.
    Moral of the story, X3100 may not be the best but it's not as e as the ATI/GForce clic like to make out. It depends on other factors as well.
