Attention D620 Owners! What games have you tried?

Obviously this is a business computer however, I am interested to know what games you have tried. Here is what has been reported to work thus far:

http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=150745&page=8

Please report the following:
1) Graphics card:
a)Intel GMA 950
b)NVIDIA 110M
2) Games tried:
3) Settings tried
4) If you tried the www.srtest.com website or http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/gameadvisor/default.mspx and saw if the assessment was accurate. If you decide to try this site, use IE since it doesn't work with Firefox.
5) Processor speed, RAM

I uploaded a screen capture on Requirements for Xmen to show what is 'required' and what the system 'capabilities' are.

 

1) NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M
2/3)
a) NHL 2006, Tiger Woods 2006: Full detail
b) Ghost Recon 2000: Full detail 16 bit
4) On these games, yes
5) 2 Ghz, 1 GB

The box on Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, specifically says notebook cards are not supported so I don't know if this assessment is true, see screen save.

 

The NVS 110M is equivalent in speed to a Go7300, and the 120M the Go7400. For more info on how those cards perform in the latest games, see this thread:

The Quadro card in the D620 is quite capable of gaming, but be warned that there may be compatability issues with certain games - some of them may refuse to run if they detect a Quadro.

The game does run on mobile video cards; they just don't want to worry about supporting them, that is why it says that on the box. You don't have to risk buying the game and find out if it works; just download the demo. There are a bunch of links in this google search:

Thanks Chazman,

I just wanted to create a string so that users had some way to see what works and what doesn't work.

I have seen that some have tried Doom 3 (not my kind of game) but only at lower settings.

BTW I always read about how someone tests a game and it runs at XX Frames per second. How is that assessed?

 

Google "Fraps". It's a program that can tell you the fps your getting while in a game and can also:
Take screenshots
Record videos

Maybe more l don't know.

 

FRAPS is a great program as Unreal mentioned. It is free and easy to use.
If you install ATI Tray Tools, which provides all kinds of settings and information about your ATI video card, that has a built in FPS counter so you wouldn't need FRAPS in that case.

A playable frame rate is 30-40, anything over that is good.

 

Thanks for the advice regarding testing the FPS.

Any others try any games on their system?

 

1)Nvidia quadro 100 option
2)Half life 2 & mods at med/high settings 1280x800 res

Ran pretty smooth, I reccomend an external keyboard keeps your hand from getting sweaty lol. The card didnt surpass 80C and there was little if any slowdown for me even in larger areas/battles.

 

can someone please try battlefield 2 on the d620? Also if ur feeling nice you could test out doom 3 too

 

I tried battlefield 2 and played it numerous times on my D620. It used to run fine, but recently it's not working well anymore. From the start I;ve had artifacts ingame, which are black lines and little triangles that flicker while you play. pretty annoying at first, but I got used to it.

But one really ****ty thing was that the FPS drops down to 5 fps sometimes. I have no idea why that is.......
