Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 Review

Tiger Woods 08 is a good game, but it stumbles a bit this year thanks to some unnecessary changes and some new features that don't work well or don't work at all.

By Aaron Thomas on August 29, 2007 at 5:22PM PDT

The Tiger Woods series has long stood atop the charts as the best-selling golf franchise year in and year out. There's typically very little to distinguish one year's version from the next, but the games have always played well, and, judging by the sales numbers, people have been happy with the incremental upgrades. But even those expecting minimal improvements are likely to be disappointed with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. There are some new features, but many of them don't work. Also, there are a fair amount of frustrating bugs (particularly in the Xbox 360 version) that give the game a rushed feel. Even the game's most noteworthy feature, the analog swing, doesn't work as well as in previous years.

TW 08's game modes are almost exactly the same as last year's. New to the PS3 and 360 is bingo, bango, bongo, a head-to-head mode where you are awarded "bingo" for being the first on the green, "bango" for being the closest to the pin when you reach the green, and "bongo" for having the best score. It's OK, but as the lone new play mode it's underwhelming. Online play is largely unchanged--even the lag issues and glitches are back for another go. Career mode hasn't seen a whole lot of change, but what is different is better. You can now choose how long you want standard and major tournaments to be, which is nice for anyone who doesn't want to go through four rounds on the same course for one tournament. Thanks to the addition of Westchester, TPC Boston, Cog Hill, and East Lake, all FedEx Cup courses are in the game. Throw in Harbour Town and there are now 16 courses--a healthy amount, but still far fewer than in the last-gen versions. There are 21 professional golfers in the game, eight of which are new: JB Holmes, Justin Rose, Camilo Villegas, Cristie Kerr, Morgan Pressel, Paul Casey, Paula Creamer, and Natalie Gulbis. Of the amateur golfers, many, like Pops Masterson, are returning favorites, but there are also some new faces, such as soccer player Wayne Rooney, to play with and against.

Once again you start your career as either a rookie Tiger Woods or a created golfer with limited skills. You can improve your skills a little by performing well in events, but you'll want to take the skills challenges, which are largely unchanged, to improve them quickly. The idea is to simulate a golfer getting better by practicing and gaining experience, but it feels artificial thanks to the level caps, which are the same for each skill and go up only when you beat certain tasks in the Tiger challenge. Not only do all golfers end up playing the same (because you tend to level their skills up evenly), but the process is cumbersome--especially if you play the series every year. Because your golfer will stink to start off, you won't stand a chance at winning a tournament event. Making you play with such a lousy golfer feels like a contrived, last-ditch effort to make the game challenging. Speaking of artificial challenges, the CPU's tendency to go from making miracle shots to blowing absurdly short putts depending on how close the match is seems more pronounced than ever.

Because your golfer isn't much better than the average weekend hacker, you'll spend your time playing the Tiger Challenge until you've gotten the skills and the equipment to take on the tour. Rather than consisting only of 9- and 18-hole challenges against other golfers like last year, the challenges are typically shorter and more varied. There are long drive contests, par-3 challenges, and challenges from the rough and sand. It's certainly more interesting than before, but the sheer number of events means that the challenges still become tedious because there isn't all that much variety to them.

A few changes have been made to how the game plays on the course--some good and some not so good. The best addition is the return of the "3 button press" mechanic from early in the series. At any point in the round, you can push the right analog stick in and the meter comes up. You press one button to start the swing, press it again to set the power, and press it a third time to determine accuracy. This works well, which is a good thing considering what EA did to the analog swing. It's extremely sensitive, so the slightest push to the left or right will send your ball sailing into the rough, or, quite frequently, out of bounds. The sensitive stick is most problematic on the Xbox 360, but it's still an issue on the PS3, just to a lesser degree. This is an issue even when using a golfer like Tiger Woods, but it's a huge problem when starting out with a created golfer--they'll hit the ball everywhere and don't have the power to make up for mistakes.

Another change, this time for the better, is how you add a draw or fade to your shot. You just tap a button to instantly teleport to the landing zone (you can hold it down to slowly zoom), and then add a fade to the shot by pressing left bumper or L1 to move the target to the left, or add a draw by pressing right bumper or R1 to move the target to the right. This works great and really pays dividends when you're hitting off the back tees and are forced to make more creative shots. Putting has gone largely untouched, but now you can check your aim and power by pressing a button to zoom out above the green to see the path the ball will travel. You can't make any adjustments while using this view and you can use it only once per shot--but it still makes putting too easy. It's no problem at all to drain 50-foot putts; in fact, you'll do it so often you'll come to expect to make them nearly every time.

And then there are the problems from last year that simply went unaddressed. There's still a crowd lining the course and they're still standing way too close, often getting in the way of shots that just missed the fairway or green. You can fast-forward while the ball is in the air, but you can't skip your opponent's turns and you can't turn off their practice swings or celebrations. Yeah, we got it, Pops is old and grumpy--can we skip his theatrics next year, please? Whether it's because of the bad lighting, lack of shadows, poor textures, camera angles, or a combination of all four, it can be difficult to read the slope of the green without the help of the putting grid. This makes chipping onto the green more frustrating than it should be, because the ball will just roll right off the green or back toward you because of an unseen change in elevation. On its own it's not a huge problem, but when you combine it with your golfer being terrible to start off and the touchy swing controls, it's just another way to lose a few strokes a round.

The biggest new gameplay feature, or at least the most hyped feature, is the EA Sports Gamernet. This allows you to save your best, worst, or weirdest shots and share them with the world. Not only can you share them, but you can turn them into challenges for other players to attempt. This is a neat idea, but one that's underwhelming in practice. For starters, as of this writing it doesn't work properly on the Xbox 360; you can make challenges, but you get an error when you try to make a highlight. But the biggest problem is the challenges aren't all that fun. It is nice to be able to play a round and then upload it for a friend to play, but unless you've been challenged by a friend there's little reason to try to bounce the ball off of a building and then onto the fairway, or to spend a half hour trying to drain a 113-foot putt.

Once again the great create-a-character mode is back, but this year you can make your likeness more realistic than ever thanks to the photo game face mode. Using the Xbox Vision Camera (which also works with the PS3), the EyeToy, a USB camera, or pictures uploaded to a Web site, you can create a 3D model of your melon for the game. At least, that's the idea--too bad it doesn't work very well. None of the digital cameras we tried worked, nor did the Web site where you upload photos. The Vision Camera worked OK, but the results were hit or miss. This seemed due mostly to the limited customization you can perform once the face is rendered. There are plenty of options, but the inability to change skin color or add eyebrows results in some odd-colored heads with no discernable brows.

And that's the big problem with Tiger Woods 08; it feels like a good idea that wasn't seen through to completion. There's too much here that simply doesn't work, particularly in the Xbox 360 version. The 360 crashes in the same place during the Tiger Challenge, making it impossible to finish, and you can't upload highlights to the EA server. Both the PS3 and 360 versions have periodic lag, glitches, and freezing issues when played online; the game face upload site doesn't work; and the single-player suffers from glitches like golfers vanishing, taking drops when they weren't supposed to, and a way-too-sensitive analog swing.

Tiger Woods 08's graphics are virtually indistinguishable from Tiger Woods 07's. For the most part the golfers look like their real-life counterparts. Each player has a unique swing, which is good, but they look lousy in motion. Players will warp from one position to another when preparing to address the ball; sometimes they don't appear to hit the ball at all; and there are frequently hitches in their swing. When the camera is still the courses look great, but when it starts panning around or following the ball the frame rate takes a bit of a hit and the grass looks lousy. Other objects, like rocks and many trees in the distance, look downright awful, moving or not. Even with the addition of more-dramatic camera angles for your opponent's shots (which often are horrible), the presentation is dry and in sore need of an upgrade--and that includes the commentary.

People who worry about yearly releases diluting the quality of games have plenty of ammo in the form of Tiger Woods 08. The changes to the gameplay are minimal, and some of them make the game worse. There are only five new courses, and many new features don't feel fleshed out, don't work well, or flat-out don't work. The PlayStation 3 version is the one to go with if you have the choice. It's a good game with fewer issues than the 360. Xbox 360 owners should just stick with Tiger Woods 07.

• Leave Blank
• More courses and golfers than last year
• Game face is a lot of fun, when it works
• New draw and fade mechanic works well
• Analog swing is too touchy
• Many features don't work well, if at all
• Doesn't play as well as last year

Old game help

I'm just wondering if anyone would know how to help me with this problem. I have got a gaming PC and im trying to run tiger Woods 08 for my dad but I have windows 10 and it installs but won't run as says drivers etc even though I run a gtx evga 1070 sc, but that's not the problem it's windows 10. I've gone and installed windows 7 and now running 2 OS and even though it says it's compatible with Windows 7 it doesn't install past 9%. I copied all the installed files from win 10 and put onto win 7 and when I run it, it says MFC71.DLL missing. Stab in the dark as it's an old game but been trying for hours to get it running and I can't, hoping someone on here might have a solution or had the same problem before.

danjw91 : I copied all the installed files from win 10 and put onto win 7 and when I run it, it says MFC71.DLL missing. Just install Visual Studio .NET 2003 (get the whole package,I linked to the update because it shows the dll) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21440

You can't just copy the game files from an installation, you have to run the setup on the computer. Install the game again on Windows 7.  

hang-the-9 : You can't just copy the game files from an installation, you have to run the setup on the computer. Install the game again on Windows 7. That's what I did, I only copied all the game files that installed on windows 10 across because it won't install on windows 7 as it gets stuck on 9% says something like course\paw/paw.cl can't retrieve or something.

You need to run the setup. Sounds like it can't read the disk to copy that file, make sure it's not smudged, maybe try a different disk drive. It's missing the DLL because those often do not get put into the same directory as the game during setup, and they also need to be registered.

Description official description

The 2008 edition in the Tiger Woods PGA series introduces enhancements and improvements to the previous version without major graphical or gameplay changes. There are new courses (Xbox 360/PS3: 5 new, 16 in total - PS2: 6 new, 18 in total) and different licensed professional golf players to choose from (21 on the Xbox 360/PS3 - 23 on the PS2/Wii).

The Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 and Windows versions allow players to import photos to create in-game faces on the characters based on custom images, using the Xbox Live Vision camera, PlayStation EyeToy, PlayStation Eye or a webcam. Further customizations include clothing, hair or eye color and more. The initial statistics can be improved by completing challenges based on power or putting precision. They can also be raised by performing well in the PGA Tour, taking into account skill shots and not just the overall ranking. Players can unlock additional golfers and spend their winnings in the shop on new equipment.

The game incorporates the FedExCup championship format (a collection of tournaments) with rounds of golf at Westchester Country Club, TPC Boston, Cog Hill, and East Lake. The putt preview has been improved, allowing the player to simulate the ball's path once per individual spot, taking into accounts elements such as power, speed and elevation. On the Xbox 360 and the PS3, shots are not performed using the analog stick, but with the 3-point timed principle for start, power and accuracy. Shot Confidence is a new addition, keeping track of the player's performance on certain courses, for specific puts and using certain clubs. Great performances raise the confidence, which translates into experience and better performance on specific courses. Low confidence leads to lower accuracy, a pumping heartbeat, and rumbling controls on the Wii.

The multiplayer (up to 4 players) has been expanded with GamerNet, where players can create and play custom challenges with their scores posted online (Xbox 360/PS3/Windows).

On the Wii, players can shake the controls to taunt the opponents with 4 different moves, to throw them off. It can be used to influence air conditions, spin, or adds audio distractions. The controls are available in 3 modes: Full Swing (wii remote), Sitting Swing (new, waggle the wii remote) or the classic controls using the nunchuck for analog play. In Full Swing, twisting the wii remote adds hooks and slices prior to shots. Also exclusive to the Wii is a Miniputt mode.

Tiger Woods struggles to opening-round 79 at The Open Championship

11 Min Read

Outside projected cut line into Friday at Royal Troon

Change Text Size

Tiger Woods showed glimpes of promise Thursday at The 152nd Open Championship, but he failed to maintain a rhythm in any facet. The result was a frustrating 8-over 79 at Royal Troon, well outside the projected cut line into Friday's second round on the Scottish coast.

"I didn't do a lot of things right today," Woods said afterward. "I didn't hit my irons very close, and I didn't give myself a whole lot of looks today. I need to shoot something in the mid-60s tomorrow to get something going on the weekend."

Woods, 48, began Thursday's opening round with a flourish, making two straight pars followed by a birdie from just off the green at the par-4 third, punctuated with a subtle yet hearty fist pump. He was in red numbers on a breezy Thursday and poised for an ascent toward the top of the leaderboard. Or so it seemed. The three-time Open champion played his next five holes in 5 over, including a double bogey at the par-3 fifth that included a pitch-out sideways from a pot bunker, and he turned in 4-over 40. His back nine featured just one more birdie (the par-4 13th), which came after a double bogey-bogey stretch on Nos. 11 and 12. Woods closed with consecutive bogeys on Nos. 17 and 18 for an 8-over 79, playing alongside Xander Schauffele (69) and Patrick Cantlay (73) at Royal Troon.

Daniel Brown opened in 6-under 65 on Thursday afternoon, putting Woods a distant 14 strokes off the lead. Woods ranked slightly above field average Thursday off the tee and around the green, but he lost more than two strokes to the field in both approach play and putting, ranking near the bottom of the field in both categories.

This marks the first year in which Woods has competed in all four majors since suffering severe injuries to both legs in a 2021 car crash. He made the cut at the Masters, finishing 60th, but missed the cut at the PGA Championship at Valhalla and U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. The 15-time major champion will likely need something in the 60s on Friday to earn weekend tee times in his 95th career major-championship appearance.

Woods admits that his physical condition isn't what it once was, but he strongly believes that he can still contend for major titles under the right conditions. After an uneven Thursday at Royal Troon, contention will likely have to wait another year. He'll look to ascend inside the cut line Friday on the Scottish coast, where he played his first Open as a pro in 1997 (finishing T24) and also competed in 2004 (finishing T9). The top 70 and ties will make the 36-hole cut at The Open.

"I'm physically feeling a lot better than I did at the beginning of the year," Woods said. "At the end of last year, it was tough, and I haven't played a whole lot. I think that, as the year has gone on, I have gotten better. I just wish I could have played a little bit more, but I've been saving it for the majors just in case I do something pretty major and then take myself out of it. Hopefully next year will be a little bit better than this year."

Read below for updates on how Woods' opening round unfolded at The 152nd Open Championship.

2:50 p.m. ET: Woods' finish is the epitome of his day. After a well-placed drive down the middle at the par-4 18th, his 172-yard approach releases just over the back of the green, leaving a slippery 35-footer from the back fringe. His birdie attempt slides past to leave a 6-footer for par, which he misses on the right side, a theme of the day. Woods taps in for bogey and a disheartening round of 8-over 79. He'll need something special Friday morning in order to play the weekend at Royal Troon.

2:30 p.m. ET: It's more misfortune for Woods at the long par-3 17th hole, as his tee shot releases down the green's left side and funnels off into the second cut of rough. He's unable to do much with his pitch shot, as the ball checks up 37 feet short of the hole, and his par putt rolls on a good line but has too much pace; it hits the hole, pops up and races 6 feet past. Woods composes himself to convert the bogey putt, but he falls to 7 over for the day with one hole remaining.

2:20 p.m. ET: It's an adventurous par-5 16th hole for Woods, but he comes away with a scrambling par.

Woods flushes his tee shot down the middle, leaving a 277-yard second shot where he can give the green a go, but he pushes it well right to leave a gnarly third shot from thick rough. He can't advance it to the green, and the ball kicks into a pot bunker. The 82-time TOUR winner, though, displays his generational short-game prowess with a smooth up-and-down, as he blasts to 4 feet and converts for par. He remains 6 over for the day with two holes to play.

1:55 p.m. ET: Woods is precise with a tee shot down the middle at the par-4 15th, and he plays a safe 157-yard approach to the green's left side, leaving a 28-foot birdie try. His birdie putt moves across the hole and misses on the left side; he cleans up his par from 4 feet past. Woods remains 6 over through 15 holes Thursday at Royal Troon.

1:40 p.m. ET: His playing partners Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay miss the green at the long par-3 14th and make bogey, while Woods plays a proper iron to the green's right side and two-putts for par from 34 feet. Woods remains at 6 over with four holes to play in the opening round. Several variables will change regarding Friday's eventual cut line (top 70 and ties), but Data Golf currently projects 5 over as the likeliest cut line (35.5%), with 6 over the next likeliest (31.6%).

1:24 p.m. ET: Woods has a bright moment at the par-4 13th, as he smokes a drive 330 yards down the fairway's left side to leave an inviting approach from 133 yards. He takes advantage with a crisp short iron to 7 feet, and he converts the birdie putt for his second circle of the day. He returns to 6 over through 13 holes, with visions of more birdies down the stretch to claw back a bit.

1:10 p.m. ET: Woods is properly positioned off the tee at the par-4 12th, but he tugs his second shot into dense rough left of the green. His pitch shot settles 24 feet short of the hole, and his par putt is on line but lips out hard on the left side. He makes bogey, falling to 7 over through 12 holes. The 15-time major winner drifts further from the projected cut line and might need to scrap just to break 80 on this Thursday.

12:55 p.m. ET: After a lengthy wait at the nasty par-4 11th, known for the railway line that parallels the hole, Woods pushes his shot into a thick bush right of the fairway, requiring him to take an unplayable lie. He drops and plays his third shot to 37 yards short of the hole, in the fairway, but he can't get up-and-down as he misses a 12-foot bogey try on the right side. Pushed putts are becoming a troubling theme for Woods on this Thursday, and the ball striking hasn't been strong enough to compensate. He falls to 6 over through 11 holes.

It's a tough day for all at Royal Troon, but Woods' showing so far is less than desirable.

12:20 p.m. ET: Woods makes an easy par at the par-4 10th, smoking a drive to nearly the end of the fairway and playing a safe 133-yard approach to 25 feet. His birdie attempt tracks toward the hole but stops just a few rotations short of the cup. He taps in for par, a satisfactory start to his second nine. He remains 4 over for the day.

12:05 p.m. ET: Woods stops the bleeding at the mid-length par-4 ninth, playing a safe approach to just short of the green and getting up-and-down from 24 yards by converting a 4-footer for par.

It's a 4-over 40 for Woods on the opening nine at Royal Troon, not an ideal result after a promising start at 1 under through three. He turns to the second nine at Royal Troon's out-and-back design, looking to crawl a bit closer to level par and to clubhouse leader Justin Thomas (3-under 68).

11:48 a.m. ET: Woods' front nine is slowly descending from bad to worse, as his tee shot at the famed "Postage Stamp" short par-3 eighth careens off a slope just off the green's right side and kicks into thick rough. He has no choice but to play his second shot well right of the hole to avoid pot bunkers; it funnels off a slope to leave a closer par putt from 14 feet, but it misses on the right side. Woods is now 4 over through eight holes at Royal Troon, a distant seven strokes back of leader Justin Thomas. It's way too early to think about the cut line, but Woods is not trending in the correct direction at the moment.

11:35 a.m. ET: Things are getting bleak fast for Woods, who has a reasonable 15-foot birdie try from just off the par-4 seventh green's left side but races it 6 feet by. He can't convert the par putt; it's another bogey for the three-time Open champion. He's now 3 over for the day, and he has played his last four holes in 4 over. It's a summer day on the Scottish coast, but it could easily be confused for a rainy fall afternoon, and Woods' score is aligned with that gloomy vibe.

11:20 a.m. ET: Woods gets back on track at the par-5 sixth, playing three smart shots to leave a mid-range birdie try. He can't convert but makes a routine par to stay at 2 over for the day.

10:55 a.m. ET: Woods slightly tugs a long iron at the long par-3 fifth, but it catches a nasty pot bunker that requires him to chip out sideways. His third shot is no picnic either, requiring a flop shot back over the bunker that he does well to stop 10 feet past the hole. The bogey putt narrowly misses on the right edge, and it's a discouraging double bogey for Woods. He falls to 2 over through five holes. A promising start has turned sour in the blink of an eye.

10:43 a.m. ET: Woods' first miscue of the day comes at the par-5 fourth hole, and it comes despite a well-placed driver down the middle and a proper layup to leave a 125-yard approach for his third. He tugs that approach to the green's left side, leaving a cross-country 62-footer for birdie which he races 8 feet by. His par putt burns the edge, and it's a bogey on Royal Troon's second easiest hole of the day, a frustrating square on the scorecard. Woods is back to even par through four holes.

10:21 a.m. ET: Woods is a tactician, splitting the fairway on the short par-4 third hole with a fairway metal, leaving 149 yards to the hole. He plays an aggressive second shot toward the middle-left hole location, but it settles in the fairway just beyond the green, leaving a 35-foot birdie effort.

It's vintage Woods from there, as he delivers an early highlight-reel moment at Royal Troon. He selects putter from the fringe and starts the ball well right of the hole; it breaks perfectly down the slope and drops into the cup. Birdie for Woods, who delivers a subtle yet hearty fist pump. He's in red figures, 1 under through three holes. Game on.

Tiger Woods drains long birdie putt from off the green at The Open

10:10 a.m. ET: Woods tugs his tee shot into thick rough left of the fairway at the short par-4 second, but he plays a sublime second shot from 177 yards that narrowly carries a front greenside bunker and safely settles 60 feet left of the hole. He two-putts for his second straight par to begin the opening round at Royal Troon.

Tiger Woods opens with par at The Open

9:51 a.m. ET: Tiger Woods is underway at The 152nd Open, sporting a black cap, grey sweater and black neck warmer in his Sun Day Red branding. He selects fairway metal off the tee at the par-4 first and finds the first cut of rough just off the fairway's right side, leaving 166 yards to the hole. He plays a smart iron to the green's front portion and two-putts for par, a fine start to this tricky Thursday at Royal Troon.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your feedback.

Assuming you are using the disc based version, it's because the game uses SafeDisk copy protection.

2004 uses SafeDisk v2.9 & 2005 uses SafeDisk v3.2. To run this and any disc based game that uses SafeDisk you need

to use a noCD fix\hack.

I've never used this fix, but Deviance usually makes good fixes -  --here--

You only need the tw2004.exe file from the second .zip folder, which you use to replace the original in the games install folder.

I have yet to come across a game from '04 that is not compatible with Win10, but there may be exceptions.

More details on this in my post at ---this thread---

- What graphics processor does your machine use ? Current driver installed ?

Do you have integrated and dedicated graphics processors ? If so, have you tried using your integrated graphics ?

- Note that the noCD I linked  to was for v1.0, so it may not work properly with either of the patches. However, it may

still help to install the   --- v1.1 Patch ---    to fix whatever that is for. If things go worse after patching, reinstall the game

and leave it at v.1.0  (leave the original .exe in the games folder when patching).

- I had another look for the memory error and see I missed the reason for limiting your system RAM to 4076 or 4095, was to do with

a bug in the games coding when reading RAM quantity. - When you changed to 4076 you rebooted, yes ?

(btw - If you use this fix again remember to go back to msconfig and re-set the RAM to 'normal' by clearing the 'Maximum Memory'

tick box and rebooting again after you play the game, or you may get other RAM errors if you run more  system intensive games.)

Unfortunately it looks like the v1.2 patch was meant to fix the memory stuffup in the game, but I can't find any viable links.

Looks like a lot of the old patch sites are fading away, along with the disc based games.

I didn't find any fixes that make changes via an .ini or .cfg file either (this is where you go to fix issues with Fallout 3 and a few other games),

so it looks like you may need to get one of the system memory tricks working for the game to run.

(That 'patch' in the semantics download above looks like a driver updating program trying to sneak in. Not a fix for the game. 

The Read Me starts...

"You have just downloaded a folder containing: 1) Driver installation manager 2) Various system files to be used by the

driver installation manager, in order to correctly install the most updated driver available."

This is in-spite of me selecting the "Direct Download" option in the right column. )

I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Integrated RAMDAC

GeForce Game Ready Driver v.446.14 installed. I did try the 1.1 patch but it was doing the same thing (not enough video memory)

No more ideas here, and I don't have the game myself. If the v1.2 patch can't be found and the fixes you find when doing searches

regarding the games RAM bug do not help, there may be no fix for your setup ?

I see the RAM fix worked for a lot of people on several forums, but some of those forum posts were from before Win10.

About the only other thing I can think of atm is, if you are using old game saves or configuration files they may be causing the error.

This would be more likely with a more recent game, but possible with some older games as well.

I have had a game or two in the past that would allow the old saves if I first started a new game and saved, and then

popped the old saves in with the new one.

- No integrated graphics with your cpu ? If the bug is regarding too much system RAM rather than VRAM, using the integrated gpu

may not help, but worth a try, if your machine has one ?
