Team Fortress 2 on Intel 965 / Intel x3100 / Intel x3000 / Intel Q965 / Intel Q963

* This is only tested on Intel Q965 , Express chipset 965/x3100. Result may vary with different intel chipset

I was able to play Team Fortress 2 on playable fps from 20-70. It sometimes goes down to 15 on a server with 20+ players. Fps remains between 15-35 in valve maps while in custom maps its very smooth from 30-60 like achievement_idle maps,

Instructions :


  1. First install modded drivers ( here )
  2. get your config files from here
    Here is the zip file of config ( if you don't want to generate from the link above ), it is the lowest setting possible with 640x480.
    Launch Options : -dxlevel 80 -full -w 640 -h 480 -console -novid -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd
  3. If you still get lag then add -vertices 1024
