    Does anyone know how the Radeon HD 3200 (64MB) runs in Counter-Strike: Source and Battlefield 2? Can it run on high settings at a moderate FPS (30FPS)? How is it on newer games?

    I can run CS at 100fps (i capped it at 100fps) at 1280x1024 with Radeon HD3200 without the 64MB dedicated memory. It'll definetly run Battle field 2 on low setting at 30FPS. I'm not so sure if you can play it at high settings with high resolution.

    HD3200 without the 64MB dedicated memory plays left4dead (if you consider that new) on low to medium settings.

    Currently, ATI HD3200 IGP is probably the best IGP.

    I've had experience with it before. It was a version without the 64 MB of dedicated sideport memory. It ran Counter Strike Source maxed out w/o AA, and ran BF2 maxed out ok at 1024 x 768, but it had some slowdowns. I'd probably push back the settings to medium, while keeping the draw distance at max. Should run alot better in that configuration.
