• Acer travelmate intergrated graphics

So I'm going to use a acer travelmate with intergrated graphics to play games. Anyone know how good it is? I'm looking to be able to play Oblivion and TF2 on it.
not enough info, need the model number, or just give the name of the graphics chipset/CPU [editline]11th September 2013[/editline] Looking at the specs for a bunch of them, I'd say no, you have no chance, try something like roller coaster tycoon 2
I have a Acer Travelmate 4233WLMi that uses a GMA 950 and it can't pull more than 5 fps on TF2 with Chris's max fps config. It's only good enough to navigate the main menu. You can play older games like Half Life and Cave Story perfectly fine. Half Life 2 + episode 1 works but you'll need to turn the graphic settings down.

TravelMates are terrible for their intergrated GPU. Believe me when I say that you will not even be able to run anything circa-2011 at anywhere near an acceptable framerate. Unless it has switchable graphics, you're going to struggle with even YouTube - you've bought the wrong laptop for anything other than word processing and checking emails. Oblivion won't work, neither will TF2. Sorry to be so harsh - but this laptop is really meant for the carbon opposite of multimedia entertainment. Get an Aspire instead - they're aimed a bit more in your general direction.

It can run CS:S and TF2 at like 15 fps if you do some extreme tweaking. The game will look terrible but it's at least playable.

And HL2 is decently playable, as long as you add this one console command so it doesn't crash after every autosave. Problem is that the GMA 950 is an enormous piece of shit even for integrated GPU standards. Your going to be stuck playing games from 2005 or before unless they are incredibly simple. On one hand, Minecraft doesn't seem to run much worse on my 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo (950) laptop than it did on a 2.5 Ghz Sandy Bridge i5 (HD 3000). There's that. :v:
Well it arrived today and runs Oblivion and TF2 like a knife through butter. Guess you were wrong ;)
Specifications of the Travelmate? Use speccy to show them.
Anything with a sandy processor and above can run TF2 comfortably at 1366x768. And to bobh I wouldn't call 15fps playable for TF2. Singleplayer HL2 games maybe though.

An Acer Aspire could also be an old piece of shit like the one I have that can't run some basic 2D games as well.
They also likely didn't need to get it effortless for everyone to story everything so quickly. You can already destruct your water assort relatively fasting. To be able to level at that similar assess, with the corresponding aid on all another classes is a ridiculous belief. They feature donated alt classes the xp assist to helpfulness them out.

You can't await them to check your power with an untrammeled numerate of quests for you to get up all 8 classes.
