intel integrated 950

i just bought a laptop with one of these

i'm not much of a gamer, but i just wanted to know what kind of games can i play? if any at all

maple story? maybe? lol

 

I don't think that games would run very good at all, certainly not a playable levels.

 

Any unreal tournament should work. Even UT2004, but thats with lower settings and res. SO if you plan on playing those choose medium settings and a low res and test until you find the sweetspot of performance and playability. As far as anything else I doubt youll get much running, Im sure games pre 2003 will run ok, and rts never really require too much video(minus the new empire earth and AOE3). SO to recap I hope you're a retro gamer like me, cause not too much will work.

 

lol thanks, as of now i only do mmorpgs when i get really bored, and i have a couple of mame roms

if it won't play i won't really complain about it too much i guess

 

Like I said it will play certain games, but dont expect modern or next gen.

 

Actually the 950 isn't bad at all. It is roughly equivilent to the NVidia 5xxx series. So anything that runs on those cards will run with the Intel.

 

I feel like hitting you.

I know people who play bf2 with an Nvidia 5xxx card on low settings.

Try running bf2 on a 950 and see what happens.

 

Too bad i have neither available. But run 3dMark, it will check out.

 

GMA aint all that bad. I'v played games like Warcraft III, Quake 4, NFS: Most Wanted, Battlefield 1942 and the graphics were better than on a Xpress 200M.I play Quake 4 at low settings, and NFS:MW at medium and the others at high

 

I played BF2 for a while on my desktop with an AGP 4x 256mb 5200FX. It was on 800x600 on all low and it still only got about 25fps. Thats playable for some people, and was for me too for a while, but thats really really bad performance. My friend has a 950 in his E1505 and he can max out The Sims 2 on it, but thats a pretty low end game.

 

I have the GMA 900, and can tell you it is worthless for gaming...just don't count on the GMA 950 (or any intel part)...
