Open-source 3D games for HD graphics 520

What open source 3D games can you recommend for such a low-power video accelerator? So light, it is desirable to be able to play them on passive cooling.

It will also be interesting to learn about very light 3D engines for large open spaces (I want to create a physical sandbox on a lightweight engine)

Quake 3 engine. Open sourced a long time ago, and runs fantastic on practically everything these days. Knock yourself out!

  • quake 3 arena
  • supertuxkart (requires lowered graphics settings, but is playable)
  • pioneer space sim
5

0AD and Minetest should run fine.

6

chess :expressionless:

@2disbetter What license is Quake 3 under? I cannot seem to find it.

8

Engine under GPL, content under proprietary license. But you can download “openarena” from repository, it’s free content.

Edit:

Just a heads up, Lutris does include many non-free games. Make sure to select “full libre”.

openmw works pretty well on limited GPU hardware


(the code is open source, but as with Q3, the original game assets aren’t)
