Hey guys. Could you recommend some good games for my comps specs please.

Hard Drive Speed/Capacity 160GB 5400RPM SATA
Optical Drive 8X DVD±R/RW LightScribe with DL
Processor Speed 2.0GHz
Processor Type Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile T3200
RAM 3GB DDR2 (2 Dimm)
Screen Size 15.4"
Graphics Chipset Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
Video Memory Up to 1277MB Total Available Graphics

I read that BF2 would run well on this, any other games you guys could Recommend? Thx.

 

Lot of stuff will run...

Most on med/low (Newer expect low). I was surprised what this card can actually run, it can do quite a bit, even if it is on low. Expect to never hit 60fps in anything except old games, and even then, shoot more for 30.

What kind of games do you like to play?

 

You could give Unreal Tournament 3 a shot. I don't know how well that would work with the GMA 4500 though. There's also Unreal Tournament 2004, Red Alert 3, Command & Conquer 3, and a few other games that don't come to my mind at this time.

 

Half Life 2 should run well enough

 

World of Warcraft should run fine

 

minesweeper and solitaire, though poorly optimized, will run well with DOX drivers

 

Orange box should do well too.

 

Left 4 Dead @ Lowest!

 

also older games like Rainbow six: Raven shield, CS:S, Cod,,, thats if your into FPS since you mentioned BF2

 

Shooters and RPG's. Ive never tried a game like Wow before but I would give it a shot. Do you think I could play BF2 on max settings or close to?

 

Don't think it would be max. but you should get some pretty good settings that are close to it.

 

running bf2 on max?

no.

but you should be able to scrape out a very playable framerate at medium settings. consider yourself lucky being able to do that with an intel gpu at all.

 

Some older games worth playing that will run very smoothly on your machine.

Half-Life 1
Max Payne 1&2
Star Craft 1
Thief 1&2
Deus Ex

 

bioshock? it ran fluidly on my macbook pro with all settings to high

 

Far Cry 1 and MOH: Warchest

 

^^ FC1 = one of my fave games of all time. Curious how it would run on the x4500? Wish I had plenty of money to just test all this stuff myself.

 

I used to run it on all low settings on a Toshiba w/GMA900 notebook with 512mb RAM at 800x600 or maybe it was 640x400 but it ran decent outside of firefights. It should run near high settings on the X4500 since it's from 2004. It's now on Diret2Drive for $10. KickA** game! Soon to be installed on my N80.

 

it's cheaper on steam! it's 5 pounds over here, so it can't be more than 10$ in the us.

 

Nice! Actually, you can download the full game for free from gamershell.com. It's ad supported (whatever that means).

Oh yeah! I remember reading that a while back. I would still pay $10 for it if it wasn't free. AWESOME game!

 

Agreed. I'd pay $20 for it if I had too. It's still an awesome game. And with decent hardware I highly recomend the 64bit extra content pack (also available in 32bit) and enabling HDR. But remember to disable FSAA as it doesn't work with HDR enabled.

 

eeePC running FarCry

This video is kinda choppy, but there are a lot of other videos on youtube of FarCry running on eeePCs and eeeBoxes

 

Darnit! No youtube allowed here. I'll have to watch it later

 

Never noticed this thread before? Might be of interest to the OP as it lists game performance on mobile GPUs including the x4500. Not sure how reliable it is.

btw office max has a bunch of old games for sale for $9.99 in store, not sure if online.

some of the tittles that stand out were rainbow six: vegas, Rainbow six: Lockdown, Splinter cell series, Ghost recon, GRAW... was pretty surprised.

 

COD 4 will run pretty smoothly on 1024x728 with mostly medium settings and no shadows. All of the games developed by valve will run (HL2, TF2, L4D). RPG-wise Neverwinter Nights 2 and Titan Quest are two very different but good choices.
