low demanding games for vista

any good not very demanding (graphics wise) games for vista? i want to play games on my tz190

 

Warcraft 3, Command & Conquer Generals, Call Of Duty, Unreal Tournament 2003-2004(?), Return to caste wolfenstein, civilization 3 or 4.

But what is your graphic card?

I have a X3100 with Vista, and I can play F.E.A.R., Call Of Duty 2 at medium setting without any problem.

 

it says it has 226 shared video memory or something. it has like 200-300 3d marks ive read somewhere. i wanted to play command and conquer red alert but i couldnt. i installed it and nothing.. not even in compatibility mode

 

Try Command & Conquer Generals.

For C&C: Red Alert; you should look at WestWood(now EA) website to know if there is a patch for Vista.

 

i think ill check eas page to see if theres something in there... ihope there is. i enjoyed that game SO much

 

nope i didnt find anything. so sad

 

Now its really up to you ! You love Vista more or CC Red Alert more

 

hahahaha i dont feel like isntalling xp or something else. ill stick to vista and dream about red alert

 

I've successfully installed and played original C&C and Red Alert in Vista. I have the 10 year anniversary dvd with all the C&C games.

I had to look online for tips and update a patch in order to get the game running. I also remember playing it in compatibility mode. I should've documented how I got it to run, but I was in such a zeal to get it to work that I overlooked that.

However, I assure you C&C and Red Alert are playable under Vista.

 

Starcraft

You could possibly play black and white, and definitely play Age of empires two, which is still quite fun.

 

A note about the X3100 - make sure you install the right drivers otherwise your performance will be as bad as a GMA950's. Intel currently has beta drivers available for the X3100 that enable some of its hardware capabilities. Expect an "official" version in the next few weeks.

 

Black & White is a great game. I don't think you'll be able to play Black & White 2 though, not until Intel learns to develop drivers. The X3000 series looked so good on paper, it has just failed to deliver what it was supposed to be capable of.

 

Thought they were releasing new drivers to rectify the issue.

 

They've been saying that for over a year. The X3000 came out last summer.

 

Chess titans...

Call of duty 1 with call of duty united offensive is an excellent choice.

 

The TZ190 has a GMA 950, not the X3100.

 

Good catch. I was actually looking into buying a TZ190 and I realized that it wasn't based on Santa Rosa. That's a good thing, because Santa Rosa requires much more power than Napa.
