I now have quite an exstensive list of the games i've tested on the EEE 900 gaming mini beast.


Below is the full list.

EEE 900

Age of Empires 2: 4
Game runs well even with a lot of units duking it out on screen. The reason I didn't give a 5 is because 1024x768 is annoying because of the scrolling, and 800x600, well it just feels like i'm licking the grass you're so close to the units. I've yet to find a FOV change for this.

Age of Mythology: 5       
WOrks perfectly off the bat. FOV is large enough to be able to see everything that goings on within a wide area.

C&C Generals + Zero Hour: 3   
Everything on low the game runs *ok*. But this is C&C. Large scale battles or skirmishes with tons of units. The FPS just drops.

C&C Red Alert: -
Couldn't get this to work for some reason? Some error I can't remember. Wasn't to fussed about it though.

CounterStrike 1.6: 5
Plays perfectly fine in OpenGL, have not tried Software mode yet. Apparently it runs smoother.

Dark Age of Camelot: 3
Runs well, good for soloing and small battles. But zerging is an absolutele no. Which kind of takes the fun out of the game to be honest.

***Deus Ex: 5
Runs well. Took a while to install though, I kept having some nonsense errors being spewed but after about the 3rd reinstall it started working (weird?)

Diablo 2 + LoD:    5
Runs perfect. LF BAAL RUN!

Dungeon Runners: 4   
My only gripe here is the free membership with the adverts taking up precious resolution space across the top of the screen. 1024x600 natively. Runs ok apart from Townston.

Dungeon Siege:    5
Flawlessly works. Even on last boss with your full group around the clock tower.

FarCry: 2
Even patched to recent with terrain fix this is a slideshow.

Fate UR: 5
Nice colorful D2 type game. Runs nicely at 800x600, and you get a pet cat or dog to pick stuff up for you!

GTA 3: -
Issues getting this to work. I couldn't get a NO CD patch to work.

GTA Vice City: 5
Runs perfectly at 1024x600. Speeding around running people over. FUN!

Half Life: 5
Runs perfectly. Although occasionally there is a slight hiccup on freezing. Not sure what's causing this.

King Pin: -
Can't install, some install error bull, not bothered.

***Medal of Honor + Spearhead: 5
Runs amazingly at 800x600, seems to get a little jerky for some reason here and there, but when hitting 990mHz that disappears.

Mount & Blade: 5
Woo! hack you up with a hatchet harry on horseback. Great game. Make sure it's on DX7 and the battlesizes are no more than 45-55, so you can put up the detail a bit. Nice game, tons of mods.

Operation Flashpoint:    5
Works very well, didn't test much as didn't like the gameplay.

Rainbow Six 3: 5
Same as above really, but runs good!

***Return to Castle Wolfenstein: 5
Runs very well, medium settings 800x600

Soldier of Fortune: 2
Everything in this game runs well, until you shoot a weapon. It grinds the game to a halt while trying to render the lighting from any weapon. I'm confused here as everything is set on low or off.

Star Wars KotOR: 3
Not sure how people get this game to run well, it's a bit of a slide show in some places.

***Unreal 2: 4
Game runs pretty well at 1024x600 low graphics and running at 990mHz, little slow in places when there's a lot of action going on.

Warcraft 3: 5
Runs fine. Use the FOV hack so you can see much more of your base!

World of Warcraft: 5
15-25fps outside while soloing as hunter. 30fps+ inside places. Have a very minimalistic UI to improve framerate by about 5-7fps.

Hooray!





Vicy City running amazingly on my 900. This is not overclocked. 1024x600x32bit is supported natively!

Enjoy the video!

After a works liquid lunch at the pub i've just come back to work with my EEE in hand.





I've managed to up detail to max and a few other settings. If my bluetooth dongle was here for the EEE I could do it now, but i'll upload the settings I have (Mount&Blade Game Performance is at about 69%, but runs perfectly?).

It's all looking pretty good and i'm fairly sure that's my weekend done. It's quite difficult even on a low setting as me and 4 of my men just got run down by some bandits.


Boo ;(


[EDIT] Over the weekend I will put up GTA Vice City on my EEE and post a screen and video. If anyone has any games they would like to see (i'm not talking Crysis here people) old school games, then I'll go and buy them and run them with optimized settings.
