HD3300 IGP benchmarked

[Munky]

In case anyone is curious about modern integrated gpu, I ran 3dmark05 on a Ph2 720 system with integrated AMD hd3300 video. That's 40 unified shaders at 500mhz, and DDR1333 shared system memory. The final score was around 4900.

In other words, we now have an IGP that's faster than the 9800pro, faster than the 6600gt, and about as fast as a 12-pipe Radeon x800. Not too shabby.

Here's the ORB link:

yeah now go play some games on it. lol

Just curious, with those stats, what kind of resolutions and settings can you play on it? Oblivion/Fallout 3 at 1024x768, medium settings? Low settings? Or not even that?

here is a review that shows the AMD 780G which uses the 3200 thats almost identical to the 3300. try about 23fps in Oblivion on lowest settings. I think that rules out Fallout 3. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3420&p=4


EDIT: oops the 3300 is a good bit better than the 3200.

And these settings with Oblivion are insanely ugly. We would never recommend playing with very low settings ever. It's a horrendous experience.

I absolutely laughed at that.

Thanks for the link, toyota. Didn't really expect much from IGPs. AMD/nVidia simply don't have any motivation to make them any better to protect their lucrative add-in cards business.

The HD3300(790GX) is 20-30% faster than 780G/785G: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3432&p=4

wow I didnt realize the 3300 had a 200MHz boost over the 3200. still pretty slow of course but much better than the 3200.

Apparently, these heave some nice OC headroom too. I'm tempted to try it just for the hell of it.

With dedicated VRAM (Sideport) and a decent clockspeed on those 40 shaders, it could approach and surpass the 9800 and 6600. However I can tell you right now that the HD3200 (without Sideport) is not faster than a vanilla X800 (roughly equal to the 6600GT).

Don't, I fried a motherboard doing that.

Was it too easy to fry? Can you elaborate on the experience? Might help those who might want to try it. (By the way, when you did it and the motherboard got fried, did you also lose other components like your processor or RAM?)

According to AMD overdrive, the IGP actually clocks itself to around 690mhz under 3D loads, and it is passively cooled, so I'll skip the overclocking for now.

In Fallout3 at 1152x720 rez, combination of low and medium settings, the framerate usually hovers around 30-50fps, occasionally dipping into the 20s.

Playing a modern game like that is more than reasonable performance from an IGP. I'm almost impressed.

I had the IGP overclocked by a few hundred mhz for a few months, and one day the computer just stopped booting. None of the other parts died.

Probably the GPU inside of the chipset died, after all, it runs quite hot and usually is passively cooled.

You can, actually.

I played TF2 with the HD3300 for a couple weeks at 1368x768, default settings. The frame rates weren't fantastic, but passable. (Stalker:Clear Sky? Not so much.)

I have my 785G o/c to 1025Mhz, over 100% overclock. Its way faster than my 3450 dedicated card (o/c to 700Mhz). Fast enough for some casual gaming on a work PC. Would be fine on a laptop for example. High res kills them, but 800x600 or 1024x768 is fine in many games.

Can I see the day that IGP's aren't half bad. Double the shaders, put in 256Mb 128bit DDR3-2000 and you would have a pretty acceptable little performer.

Yikes! I just got a new 785G board and I was going to try overclocking it to do some casual gaming. Definitely not going to do that now. Thanks for the warning 🙂
