what are some good CPU dependent games?

[ShadoWing]

Well, since my Toshiba's Intel 950 graphics sucks balls, i'm just wondering if there are any good pc games out there that are mostly cpu dependent.

warcraft III is very CPU dependent. Check out any chart that they use to do GPU tests on you will find that all the GPU's tend to be CPU limited

If search worked you could find a bunch of archived "laptop games" threads in Software.

I have a laptop similar to your's, I usually only play emulators with it.

Civ3 plays very well on my old integrated ibm rackserver. Ther is no need for more(mods excluded).

That's what I'd do. NES, SNES, Segas of all kinds, C64, etc are all out of production so you needn't worry about downloading all the games.

You play civ on rack mounted servers? 😛 Now that's geek.

any really good 2d games?

Rome Total War and the total war series are very cpu dependant.

I have seen Pro Evolution Soccer 5 runs fine on a Intel GMA 950 chipset.

I tried playing doom 3, it ran decently, playable with decent graphics.

 

[ShadoWing]

wait, you played doom3 on the 950chipset?

Rome: Total War works pretty nicely on IGP at 800x600 and everything low-medium.
AND it is an awesome game. AND it looks pretty damn great with a good GPU.
