Hello everyone,

I would like to play this on my laptop and was wondering if anyone has tried playing Thief using a notebook with Intel Display Adapters. Is it possible to have a smooth framerate with that setup?

Thank you.

Depends on which intel gpu, its anything below a HD3000 it ainbt gonna run well if at all, but I would wait to see if anyone else has a similar gpou and see what they say.

Thanks for the reply.

Well, I guess no one has tried it.

Runs fine on my netbook, which has Intel Atom 1.6GHz with Intel GMA 950 graphics, although the graphics have to be 16-bit rather than 32-bit. It actually looks better than on my Desktop's nvidia 9800GT due to nvidia (and also AMD, to be fair) messing up their recent drivers.

Thanks for the reply. I'll be buying this now. I'm gonna be playing this on my notebook since I barely get to use the PC at home because of my sisters. :D

Bought the game during the weekend and it runs smoothly. Playing it without any patches/fixes.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Runs just peachy on my EeePC, which has Intel chipset.

Heck, I remember running Thief: The Dark Project nicely on my old laptop, which was something ridiculous like 800 MHz Compaq with a goodness-who-knows-how-ancient-can-it-get onboard video chipset. Chances are, you get decent performance on any computer that can run it. =)

This game is from 1999. Any notebook younger than 2003 should run it just fine. :P

I'll keep that in mind. ;)

I can confirm that Thief Gold and Thief 2 both run very happily on an Intel HD3000 and Intel GMA all under Ubuntu even.

Hell, My HD3000 can run Deadly Shadows on Ubuntu as well (and *very* well too).
