How scalable are need for speed games and racing games in general?

Will NFS carbon or underground 2 be playable with an integrated card ...example X3100???

 

NFS Carbon - Yes, it will run, but won't run smooth at all....

NFS Underground - Yes, it will run, and runs very well...

See screenshots on my system, which will give you some ideas:

(Scroll down, you will see NFS: Most Wanted and Carbon)

 

Talking about running and getting smooth frame rates, I can get NFS Most Wanted to run on my GF4 MX440. Needless to say, the graphics sucked, and I stopped playing after a few hours on it.

Anyways, I tried NFS carbon on another comp, with a desktop X1600pro, on all high details with AA and AF turned off, and it ran fine. I think your X3100 should suffice for medium/low settings

 

Do you know what Laptops or VGA cards NFS Carbon Run Smooth on it ??

Cuz im About to Buy a New Laptop and im confused what to Buy

Please tell me what to get from VGA or Processor....

 

LOL on my old desktop with a geforce fx5500 nfs underground 2 wouldnt even run smooth... Oh well I guess that sucked or I had bad drivers lol

 

I think the Asus G1S would do that pretty well, plus its a great laptop overall.

 

yea i think so, thnx for your answer..

but i guess the Dell Inspiron 1520 is a very good choice 4 me..

but for some reasom Dell doesn't ship out of US !

so what do u think i can do ??

 

They don't ship out of the US because they have stores in a lot of other countries

 

Really ?!!! May be i didn't know that..

may be you are right,, but we dont have the Dell Inspiron 1520 here in egypt Yet..

I Called them already and they told me they didn't this model yet..


& I can't Customize it like how it is in here,,,

Soo Do u know a way to get it with my Customization..

 

I tried NFSMW on a Dell Inspiron B130 with integrated Intel graphics. On the lowest settings, it was playable but not satisfactory. In graphically "busy" sections of the race, framerates would drop to single digits, and it rarely got any better than 20 or so. These are not measured framerates -- just my perception of how the game was doing, based on playing it on a better machine with framerates reported.
