Budget Graphics Card Comparison - Sandy Bridge Graphics performance is simply awful

[formulav8]

From everything i've seen top Llano will be 400 shaders around 600mhz. Support up to 1833mhz DDR3 dual channel ram as well. Compared to their current 80 shader apu, Llano will have major increase in memory bandwidth and much more shaders. Their current apu is 80 shaders on a single 1066mhz ddr3 memory channel. Of course Llano should be much better than anything Intel will offer in the next year or 2.

So, you might be able to compare it to a similar spec discreet version? I'm not sure what version that would be though. Also many people play their 3d games like WOW on IGP's. So comparing IGPs in reguards to gaming is perfectly legit.

leading performance in high end video cards?leave it to nvidia intel doesnt even stand a chance in the graphics card market,like donald trump running for president each is best at what they do but oh yeah a 2500k that mostly gamers will buy oh yeah i think crysis 2 will run just fine on that onboard gpu intel offers,not no one gives a rats ass about the onboard gpu,pop in a card and kick some ass why cant intel offer a higher end version of the 2600k perhaps with more cache and kill that onboard gpu,but still make it a option on a motherboard?like the old nvidia chipsets?we havent had a nvidia chipset since the 700 series,that would be interesting to see again

Did not read wall of text.

how realistic would it be for llano to have perfect operation between the gpu and cpu? It seems we are always playing leapfrog with our systems and we never have perfectly matched cpu to gpu capability. It would be interesting to see a product that scales perfectly because it is one. Do you think we could have gains like this in a future llano part?

phy my point is intel does a grand fantastic job of making processors why cant they just focus on that that explains the"wall of text" nvidia used to make some decent chipsets i think minus their 680i idk how many people buy sandy bridge just cause of that onboard gpu i doubt many care about it especially those buying 2500k and 2600k series,those guys are running some sort of mid range to high end card

The problem is "DDR3 1866" only means 29.856 GB/s system memory bandwidth.
Now the GPU and the CPU have to share that..

A Radeon 5570 has 400 shader processors.
A Llano top model comes with 400 shader processors.

A Radeon 5570 has 28.8 Gb/s memory bandwidth.
A Llano system memory will be able to do ~29.856 GB/s.

I guess compaireing the Llano to a 5570 isnt a far stretch.... thats likely how it ll perform on its best days (fastest supported ram, running as they should be ect).

Should be able to play quite a few games in the 1280x1024 -1400x1050 range.
