    A lot of people says that this card can't handle newer games like Crysis, Bioshock and Rainbow Six Vegas. Here's the facts, and I've personally tried it.

    Crysis: medium settings 20+FPS low settings: 30+FPS
    Bioshock: High settings 38+FPS
    Rainbow Six Vegas: Medium settings 45+FPS

    Better than you guys thought huh?

    Im thinking thats bull, because my lappy can't run Bioshock at hig, with 38+ fps.... and my friends 7900gs (desktop card) can't even run crysis....

    The 8400gs is a weak card as well and a 7900gs can definitely run Crysis.....

    wait... isnt the HD2400 integrated though? i know that my lappy's 8400m GS is weak... but not more than an iterated :p

    and no, on low everything the 7900gs (even overclocked) was getting 7fps... idk, maybe that is weird then :p



    WOW!
    i thought the 2400 was an integrated laptop card... im stupid :p


    never mind then :p

    She never answered my question either. I'm guessing either 640x480 or 800x600.

    Crysis: resolution 1280x1024 details low/medium
    Bioshock: 1024x768 details high.
    Rainbow Six: 800x600 details medium.

    And I'm a she thank you :)

    That's pretty awesome performance for a card like that. Is your card over-clocked? Do you have any screenshots of in-game framerate?

    It's bs. Crysis might run with 20fps avg at 1280 x 1024 on all low DX9 but at no resolution will it be playable at medium settings.

    congrats on buying an out-of-this-world hd2400 which performs better than a hd2600.

    C'mon just post a screenshot (using FRAPS maybe) to let us know what the FPS. I don't believe it also because I saw an HD3200 (which I believe to be equivalent to HD2400) barely running Crysis at all low.

    Hey guys.

    I just realized that my Lexmark Z1300 prints sheets of solid gold.

    Imagine that?

    :p
