    hi guys... after a review for the HP dv4 cant seem to find any full decent ones nor details about it other than spec sheets...

    want to know how good the 9200 gfx is... if it'll be decent enough for games such as redalert3 / starcraft 2 etc...

    heard its upgraded 8400gs?

    thanks

    The 9200M GS is nvidia's 'come-back' integrated solution to AMD/ATi's Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics.

    I don't think it's an upgraded 8400M GS.

    The upgraded 8400M GS lingers around the 9300M GS or the aptly named 9400M/9500M GS.

    So no. It won't be decent enough for games like RA3 or SC2. It might/will run them, just slowly and at very low resolutions. Custom resolutions may be needed.

    Example: I use a 7600 Go (non-GT) and I played Crysis @ 400 x 300.

    there were benchmarks on this board somewhere that proved the 9200m gs to be faster then the 8400m gs

    9200 is an integrated solution??

    it's a dedicated card and I played COD4 demo with it on medium setting without any delays.
