Gaming on an IGP

Is anyone actually surprised what an ATI/Nvidia IGP can do? I know I sure as hell am.

My little lenovo can play Call of Duty 4/MW2 smoothly as lowest settings.

Which is cool, because its only an 11 inch (and half as thin as the m11x,hehe),and costed about half of that laptop as well.

I'm not holding my breath that it could handle Black Ops, but I will probably try it anyway, for kicks and giggles.

As far as laptop gaming is concerned,I dont mind bare minimum settings,just as long as the game itself is playable, so the Radeon 3200 works for me

just stay away from intel

 

Yeah, those IGP's aren't half bad. I still think they can make IGP's better performing while using the same power. The nVidia ION is actually pretty good and a step in the right direction. Although if I have an IGP in a laptop I tend to stick with older titles. There's dozens of games I never played or finished that I find fun and play great even on an Intel IGP. Check out my review of the Toshiba T115D in my sig, I was impressed as well.

 

The Sandy Bridge IGPs will totally change the game. Almost every notebook will become suitable for moderate gaming.
