I've been searching for three days and two nights why every game from modern MMORPGs to old indie titles runs at the same low framerate on my pc. Turns out they run just fine in fullscreen windowed, so why not in proper fullscreen? The reason is more than a decade of stubborn retardation:
Intel HD Graphics vsync is shit. It is unmitigated, unapologetic, unusable shit, and you can't turn it off! You could before, but somewhere around 2002 Intel decided that "the ability to turn vsync on and off isn't needed in today's sofware", so what if it's needed even 14 years later!
Apparently the only way to run games properly at full screen would be to install ancient drivers with a still functional Intel HD Graphics Control Panel that had all the basic functionality of their competitors, but where are you going to find them from when Intel itself claims it doesn't store it's old drivers? Hell, I'd say they're lying about that because not even having a copy of their own old software would be retarded thing to do from any corporation, but in the light of what they already I'd consider that entirely expected from them!
It gets even dumber though: As people have complained about this for over dozen years, the response of Intel has been that it's their fault because laptops aren't for gaming. Right, so this 3D-ACCELERATOR CARD which would be perfectly fine for the games these people play, isn't for games, so they break the options needed to make it work. Fuck you Intel, fuck you so very much!

Pick one.

There is no 3D-ACCELERATOR CARD you dumb fuck.

Gaming laptops are overpriced shit, but even regular laptops can play less-demanding games.

/G/ isn't your personal rant blog post
your fault for buying a laptop with only intel graphics for "gaming"
>>57114338
wait are you complaining about the intel graphic chipset who don't support open gl 2.0 ?
>>57114415
Right, 3D-accelerated card. Hope that typo didn't entirely confuse you about the point of the post.

I didn't buy it for gaming, but it would be a reasonable use for something that has all the hardware requirements for it. A machete isn't for cooking, but if it bent on contact with a loaf of bread it would be reasonable to be disappointed with it.
Wtf u talking about?
I got a 2012 notebook with only integratad HD4000 and it can reach 200+ fps easily in low demand games on Full screen.

I have Asus V3 112P. Again, not bought *for* gaming, but should be able to run some games if the vsync didn't shit on them.

You can still play every Adventure game ever.
AKA the best genre in gaming
>need glide wrapper so the horizon doesn't disappear in a 17-year old DX7 game

This was the first computer game I ever played

To be fair, you need a glide wrapper so Diablo 2 doesn't run like shit
