    How's the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce 7150M?

    I'm really struggling to find any information on the performance of this integrated card. Best I have found is this technical specification list on nVidia's site, but that doesn't really tell me much about how well it actually performs. Has anyone here got any experience with the 7150M IGP? Does it perform better than the Intel GMA X3100?
    Thanks.

    The X3100 is not that great of a card, and it's supposedly being held back by immature drivers.

    The 7150 is a step up from the 6100 series of IGPs, but it's still integrated. Older games from 2005 and whatnot should be playable at low-medium settings, but anything newer and you're forced to play at pretty much the bare minimum.

    Also, remember that IGP are a lot more dependent on cpu power, so you have to consider that when you think about IGP performance. There will be a large discrepancy in gaming performance between two identical machines carrying 7150 gpus but different cpus.
