Intel Graphics Cards :( - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXcEutV8qmk[/media] This is the sad story of me suffering from a stupid integrated video card

sorry man, really must suck

Better than nothing at all, at least you can play older games at a competent level.

On my nvidia intergrated I just play source games on dx8 and Battlefield Heroes went to shit as soon as it went out of beta

Yeah, I am getting a little worried about the cs:s beta coming out since I can't run orange box games very good, thought I learnt how to boost fps up a bit it isn't enough :l

what dxlevel you running?

Why would you even buy one of those things?

You wouldn't, they just come with the mobos so that you can see without having completely cpu rendered interface.

it seems like your settings are relatively high, turn them the fuck down and adapt to your video card or buy a new one

buy a new computer

these are basically what I ran with for a while on a really old video card [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_lTUI-9v9g[/media]

You would think at this point you just wouldnt play games.

How the fuck can you play like that. I would kill myself with all the lag.

Games just shouldnt be played like that...

First off, why are you even trying to game on Intel Integrated? It's made for business and daily use. Not gaming. Buy yourself a 4650 or something.

Let me explain, I got this laptop (Dell studio 15) back in the start of 2009, it's purpose was 2 things, animation and school work. July 2009 - I got steam and team fortress 2, I then was like "Why is it so slow" And then learnt how to turn my settings down. The lag was caused by XFIRE and Fraps, they do this a lot, I get 20 for OB and 30 for Source2004, I'm at the moment in the process into looking at a new computer

AMD 780G+ mobos can get up to 50 fps on integrated video cards and its cheaper; depending what cpu you got, because source is mostly CPU based. Gaming rigs only cost around $500 to $600, mine cost $576.72.

i just got an nvidia ion board with everything on it for $130 and it can run better than that

I used to use an Nvidia Geforce 440. Not sure if it was better than an Intel Integrated, but it sucked ass. no pixel shader, years old, But HL2 ran >20 FPS, on medium settings with the lowest DXlvl. Same with Gmod, but the sucky part was that those were really the only games i could play. Ep2 wouldnt run without synergy and still lagged, Ep1 would play but low FPS at times. And for some reason, CSS ran >20 FPS at highest settings...but still, it sucked. Couldn't play TF2 at all...Nor L4D. Definitely save up for a card.

My old laptop had a Intel graphics card... Holy shit, it was a motherfucker to get games work on it. :argh:

My lappy has an integrated intel card too. Insta-BSOD whenever there's a particle effect. And if you have been playing a game for over 10 minutes no matter what it will bluescreen. Last driver update was 2006.

Intel cards can be a pain. Actually, they are a pain. I know that from my old GMA 950 before I got the laptop that I have now. [url]http://intel9xx.moonfruit.com[/url] That site helped me quite a lot when I had an Intel Card. The modded drivers may increase your framerate a fair amount.

First of all, Fraps alone lowers the FPS of games by around 50-75% depending on many variables, but 50-75% from personal experience with it. And 2nd, the youtube video is at 720p meaning you recorded it at 720p or higher OR you up-scaled it, and up-scaling doesn't look as good as your video. Not only that but you seem to be running the games ( Namely Source engine games ) at quite high settings, not the highest but, you've got shadows on, etc. So to finish up, you'll be getting more without recording anyway, and lower your damn settings man, especially your resolution.

Sony Vegas 8 Is set to up the video, I have lowered my settings heaps and thanks for the site Juggernog!
