intel extreme graphics is equiv to what?

[thuned]

What would you ppl say intel's extreme graphics is equivalence to? Compared to a dedicated 3d card. tnt, tnt2, voodoo3 somewhere along there?


Edit:
The one on the 855 (ie centrino) chipset.

I think it's comparable to GF2MX200.

 

[modedepe]

MAYBE a tnt2..

Down near the GeForce256-SDR and Radeon7000.

That sounds more accurate to me. Integrated video has made some strides in recent chipsets. Its no where near as terrible as they used to be.

The i810 graphics I have on this comp is probably about a TNT1...maybe...

Pen and paper.

What chipset? The i810 to i845 series is utter crap, but the 2nd-gen (i855 mobile, i865/875 desktop) stuff is on par with a low-clocked gF4MX or R7500.

IEG was never designed for 3D games.

Intel Extreme graphics 1 on intel 845G or 845GE chipset = GeForce256(845G) or GeForce2 MX 400(845GE) or Radeon 7200

Intel extreme graphics 2 on Intel 865G chipset = GeForce4 MX440 First edition or Radeon 7500 with 64 MB RAM.

You could probably draw the frames by hand faster.... Especially if you overclock your hand.

As I go to hit the post button I think, "overclock your hand" could definitely be taken the wrong way. *cries*

 

[VIAN]

LOL!

Smell smoke?

"Intel" and "Graphics" are not... what are they... ummm. I think Intel should just stick to CPUs.

 

[thedarkwolf]

The Intell 828656, whatever the hell that is , in this computer at work is a little faster than the POS ATI 7000 I have at home. I haven't benchmarked it or anything though. Thats just going by how Enemy Territory feels.

geforce256 SDR is more equivalent to a radeon 7200...
radeon 7000 is more equivalent to a TNT2 ultra with only 1 pipeline and no hardware T&L

Well said!

Bingo.


The ONLY integrated graphics which are even REMOTELY viable are the integrated GeForce 4 MX chips in an Nforce 2 Mobo. Other than that, prepare to pony up for a dedicated GPU if you seriously expect to play games with the system.

 

[thuned]

Me again. I'm asking about the on the 855 chipset (centrino).

 

[Insomniak]

No. Go for Radeon Mobile 9600.

 

[Matthias99]

Intel Extreme 2 graphics are noticeably worse than a GF2MX -- they lack Hardware Transform and Lighting. Maybe along the lines of a TNT or TNT2, or a RADEON 7XXX. *Maybe*. Just about any standalone card will outperform it, due to having dedicated onboard memory.

The ONLY integrated graphics which are even REMOTELY viable are the integrated GeForce 4 MX chips in an Nforce 2 Mobo. Other than that, prepare to pony up for a dedicated GPU if you seriously expect to play games with the system.

The RADEON Mobile chipsets (9000/9600), and their IGP 3XX (which is gradually trickling into new motherboards), are actually pretty decent. All the Intel ones are crap, though.

 

[Bateluer]

You got to remember, people don't choose an IGP because they want performance, they get it to cut costs. Or they are just incredibly stupid.

 

[dguy6789]

being the fact that my friend just bought a brand new emachine with intel extreme graphics 2, and that fact that it runs c&c generals at less then 5 fps, i would say intel extreme graphics are about a 1/10th the speed of a gf2 mx400. what moron said that it was as fast as a gf4mx440, i dont know where he got his info, intel extreme graphics are super slow. on a scale, intel extreme graphics are to a gf2 mx, is the same as a gf2 to a rad 9800 xt, that is how much faster a gf2 is then a intel extreme, these ppl arent kidding pen and paper is better.

Yeah, but in that post I was talking non-mobile chipsets. As for mobiles, yeah, both ATi and Nvidia's mobile chips are pretty good, though ATi has a slight edge right now I think.

 

[Matthias99]

The RADEON IGP is their new *desktop* integrated chipset. Boards using it are just hitting the market now.

Voodoo!! , j/k...naw.. I dunno...
