This is a list of personal computer games that require the DirectX 7 fixed function transform and lighting support to run. Games that only have transform and lighting as an optional feature are not listed here.

An example would be Age of Empires III but not Sacrifice. Users of TNT2 cards cannot run Age of Empires III but can run Sacrifice.

  • Software transform and lighting

    Graphics chipsets that support software transform and lighting. Here, the CPU does both the work of the processor and video card. Games usually run with acceptable performance.

    Intel's chipsets except for the 965 chipset have software transformation and lighting support.

    They are as follows:

  • Intel 845
  • Intel 865
  • Intel 910
  • Intel 915
  • Intel 925
  • The Intel GMA series support software transform and lighting as well as pixel shader 2.0, albeit at a software level. So games that strictly require hardware transform and lighting may not work (unless run with 3D Analyzer).
