Question:
X200 Screenshot thread!
Following on from my fairly succesful Go7400 thread, I decided to create this. Screenshots are limited, as are games tested - I tried to pick those that received the most questions based on 'will it run?'.
These games on are all running on the X200m - 64mb shared graphics memory. There is no dedicated memory, nor will it go above 64mb - so you will get improved performance dependant on whether you have a dedicated version, or a version that will go up to 128 or 256mb.
I was also tired of people claiming it was impossible to play BF2, FEAR or even Company of Heroes on X200 - all the time. So I spent this evening installing games on my old machine...
Ram - 1.5Gb DDR2-667mhz
Enjoy. Hope it helps.
Battlefield 2
F.E.A.R. Combat
Company of Heroes
Sin Episode 1: DX9 Path
Sin Episode 1: DX7 Path
Call of Duty 2 Dx7 Mode
Warhammer 40K: Armageddon
That's it for now. My general comments:
Sin Episode 1 ran relatively ok on Dx9 mode, but ran at far higher fps guaranteeing smoothness throughout on Dx7 mode so I deemed that a better option.
FEAR Combat - ran much better then I thought it would, was on low settings, but had to stick to small games with about 8 players.
Warhammer - not an intensive game, ran fine.
Battlefield 2 - ran fine, but had to stick to 32 man games.
Company of Heroes - ran fine in 1 vs 1. Did not try higher
Call of Duty 2 - Ran fine and smoothly during multiplayer (what was tested), but only on low settings and res in dx7 mode. Still very enjoyable. Graphics engine meant that although I had much less detail I still had the same draw distance so I wasn't at any type of disadvantage at all really.

Re: X200 Screenshot thread!
what are the resolutions? the screenshots look...unfortunately i dont have a x200m.....but i would like to see what other users are experiencing with their ones
Answer:
Re: X200 Screenshot thread!
Resolution 800x600 on all games, except Warhammer which is 1024x768. It is an x200, after all. :D
Oh - I know the screenshots technically aren't great - but these are games people were reporting in some cases 'don't work' on the X200. Specifically - Battlefield 2, FEAR and Company of Heroes. Example:
I have to disagree. My x200m cannot run BF2 at remotely playable fps. We're talking 10-15fps with major lagging.
This thread isn't really about quality - it's about what actually runs. :)

Also, this is a place for anyone to post screenshots of their X200 in action. Just notice far too often people starting threads, wondering what games look like, and never post pictures themselves! Like the Go7400 thread, I'm hoping it will help people decide what sort of card they can live with...

Re: X200 Screenshot thread!
Those graphics are quite good considering the video card is integrated. Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures.
For anyone who wants to post, having the FPS show is helpful as HavoK's screens show. You can download FRAPS, a utility to measure FPS, here:

Integrated solutions aren't useless, they're just not recommended for gaming. Intel's integrated GMA950 is pretty bad because it doesn't have hardware texture and lighting features; everything is done in software, and the drivers aren't even that good. ATi and nVidia have better options because they're graphics card makers, and their integrated solutions typically features a few pixel pipelines and shaders that allow them to perform better. On top of that, they typically have better drivers than Intel's. The problem is still that they use system memory which is much slower than dedicated graphics memory, and that they few features since they are integrated onto the motherboard rather than have their own chip.

Added Call of Duty 2. Someone else would have to continue this thread if anymore pictures are wanted, as I no longer have the machine, it's my mothers...:D

I was only making this thread on my mothers X200 to test out some games and take screenshots for the benefit of others.....;)
I do not own an X200 myself anymore, I have a Go7400
