    Need hardware demanding 3D XNA game with source code

    My subject says it all. I want to try a hardware demanding 3D game on my desktop computer to see how well it handles it. Source code availability is preferred.

    XNA Racer is pretty demanding... probably the biggest one out there with source right now.

    XNA racer did not run on my computer. I would get sound, but no picture. At some point the game just crashes because the sound suddenly dissappears. Any suggestions?

    I wanted to see how well my desktop computer with GMA X3100 integrated graphics work with the most demanding XNA game can I find.

    Seems like you got your answer.... "not very well"

    Well, the graphics card should support the minimum requirements to run XNA developed games. I'm imagining this has to do with missing software/drivers or software conflict.

    If a graphics card do not have the necessary spec to run a game then the game should report that (even though this is not a commercially released game).

    That is a starter kit, not a full game. That's why it doesn't do reporting. And the X3100 is an integrated graphics chip which means, from my experience, even though it says it supports something, it generally doesn't or does so very poorly. But yes it could also be a driver issue or software conflict. Those are always possible.
