performance of intel extreme graphics card

[Soulkeeper]

I don't think they have T&L
the nvidia original nforce solutions were atleast 50% faster
they had nforce1 systems side by side to i845g systems once at an AMD event i went to
when those two were the fastest thing on both sides

they had like 4 different games running on these systems to compare
and the i845 system just couldn't seem to handle any 3d graphics from my perspective
it should be great for 2d and maybe you can play games that are older (unreal tournament, Quake3, half life) those should run atleast playable

but don't count on running BF1942, ut2003, ut2004, doom3, half life2, or any of those things

good luck

Onboard graphics blow for 3D gaming regardless of who makes them.

nforce 2 IGP with dual channel ram is leagues ahead of the rest. but i agree, any real gamer would not get integrated

Ahead of the rest of the onboard solutions, which doesn't really say much.

For those who are wondering, we managed to run UT2K4 on an i845-powered Celeron 2.0 laptop last night at a LAN.

640x480@16bpp, windowed, all details bottomed out = 30fps.

No screenie, sorry. But trust me - it was ugly.

Actually, the guy who tried to play on it got motion-sick after about three minutes.

It made a great dedicated server though. UT2K4 WebAdmin utterly rocks.

The 64bit GeForceFX 5200 will wipe the floor with IEG, that should about sum it up.

Tim Sweeney recently commented on Intel's Video dominance recently. He lamented the fact that he and the Unreal crew had to use DirectX 7 level Graphics in order to deal with Intel's dominant position in Video. ATI and Nvidia have been producing some very nice integrated Video, unfortunetly systems makers have not adopted them very eagerly.

That is pretty sad, that game developers need to dumb down their games, just because Intel makes a bad product.
