Hi, I miss playing video games. Which tittles do you recommend for integrated intel hd2500 graphics on linux? I have 16 gb ram and a descent i5 core processor. Do I have to use steam?
Also can i get a recommendation about using mame emulators. os is ubuntu
thank you!
No worries, I finally have expertise in something so I chipped in. Also I just remembered that fourth point!
Lowering the resolution of your monitor from, let's say, 1080p -> 720p can give a decent amount of frames. When I had a decent GPU (GTX 960), Night-Runners was able to run at a steady 60 on high settings + 720p monitor cap but when I put the monitor on 1080 it dipped into the 40s.
How I understand it is the iGPU is not spending it's vram trying to display a 1080p picture and uses less of it at 720p to gain more frames. Unfortunately, capping the monitor will make the screen look generally worse, but we're dealing with so little vram that we need to mold around the poor little iGPU and you could probably switch resolution only when gaming.
That's about it, have a good one, one day we'll be able to upgrade 😅
