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. 2 Likes

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. |

Nice thread brother, i've always wanted a real life test of intel hd graphics. Let's see which of the games it can run on ultra settings. |

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. |

Tears. I'm crying for you in advance its going to be frustrating. When my laptop runs games with Intel graphics sometimes I just get frustrated. But let's see how it goes for you. 4 Likes |

You mean FRAPS? |
| Re: Gaming On Intel HD Graphics by AKBliv010(m): 11:26pm On Jul 09, 2016 |
khalhokage: 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. |

cupidhero: 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 |

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  4 Likes

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. test link - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5gP1lXvmMe5czJ3OWJicUtQb3M 2 Likes

Title: Rage Resolution: 640x480, no AA Genre: Action Comments: Average framerate 15FPS, not playable even at the lowest screen resolution. This is a game I'll enjoy with playable framerates.

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 Test link - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5gP1lXvmMe5QVQxanJoREcxbG8 1 Share

Carry on man, we're following. You should have tried getting through RAGE at 15fps so that this thread will turn into a test of your patience instead Miss Cao where are you? |
| Re: Gaming On Intel HD Graphics by Oluwaseunsodiq(m): 9:44am On Jul 10, 2016 |
AKBliv010:Lol, yea i meant both ultra high and ultra low settings. Will you be testing post-2010 games? |
| Re: Gaming On Intel HD Graphics by AKBliv010(m): 10:11am On Jul 10, 2016 |
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.

Oluwaseunsodiq: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? 1 Like |

Nice thread, currently game on intel Hd 5500...core i5 Games I've played on it all PES titles (frm pes 14 to 16 I've had to use low settings tho) Far-cry 2 : medium settings Call of duty modern warfare : Medium graphic settings FM 16 : low settings, can handle medium bt I dnt like d workload on my processor GTA IV -- Had to do some wicked trick dat took some research bt once I was able to do it...the gaem played seamlessly on low settings. You've got to know how to tweak ur intel HD to enjoy it. |

Does it make any sense if i say my intel hd 4000 now out performs my gt 830m on my crappy pc?? Coz it does. I now run most of my games on the hd 4000. And funny enough, it manages to push out 30 frames on low settings on most of d games 2 Likes |
| Re: Gaming On Intel HD Graphics by AKBliv010(m): 3:12pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
BRAINZBox: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. |

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! Cc Oluwaseunsodiq, thanks for pointing this one out. There's no GoW 2/3 for PC  Test Link - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5gP1lXvmMe5QVQxanJoREcxbG8

Title: Dead Space 3 Resolution: 1024x768, Low settings Genre: Action, Adventure Comments: This title is not playable at an average framerate of 12FPS. An interesting shooter game I will try on my main rig.

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. Link - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5gP1lXvmMe5QVQxanJoREcxbG8

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. Link - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5gP1lXvmMe5QVQxanJoREcxbG8
