Intel doing a good job on their drivers lately. [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-golfclap.gif[/img]

I was really hoping the contents of the news article would just be a picture of a normal dedicated GPU.

no shit, it's Source after all

[QUOTE=viperfan7;44125503]Ever since the HD 4000 and HD 3000 integrated GPU were released they've been doing reallly well with them, well enough that its a viable choice for a budget gaming PC[/QUOTE] I was surprised how it could games like Planetary Annihilation so smoothly, i got the 3000 on my laptop. Bought it for around 400 euro and it can play most games on low/medium with a solid 40 FPS.

[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;44126009]what do you mean by this[/QUOTE] That source generally runs pretty decently even on midrange or submidrange hardware.

[QUOTE=wraithcat;44126097]That source generally runs pretty decently even on midrange or submidrange hardware.[/QUOTE] This is one reason why the Titanfall beta was so surprising to me: it didn't run well at all. I can run Battlefield 4 without a hitch and people complained (still do?) about performance in that game all the time but I couldn't get a stable FPS in Titanfall.

[QUOTE=wraithcat;44126097]That source generally runs pretty decently even on midrange or submidrange hardware.[/QUOTE] Exactly.

I had to deactivate and activate Anti Aliasing and bam. 60 fps [B]all the time.[/B] Always. But I had to do it everytime I started the game. Strange performance boost.

I'm hoping Nvidia puts out some drivers that'll improve performance because I wasn't running it too hot either.

[QUOTE=wraithcat;44126097]That source generally runs pretty decently even on midrange or submidrange hardware.[/QUOTE] I've been stuck on pretty crappy hardware for a little bit, but I got a way higher and more consistent frame rate with the Titanfall beta than I do now with CSGO

[QUOTE=damnatus;44125306]no shit, it's Source after all[/QUOTE] honestly titanfall is to source like CoD is to IdTech.

[QUOTE=damnatus;44125306]no shit, it's Source after all[/QUOTE] This is a heavily modified Portal 2 build source engine.

[QUOTE=Delta616;44127381]This is a heavily modified Portal 2 build source engine.[/QUOTE] Eh? I heard it was the dota 2 build.

[QUOTE=Karmah;44129674]Eh? I heard it was the dota 2 build.[/QUOTE] No the AppID on the build was portal 2. Why would it be the dota 2 built? That was modified to suit over the top MOAB gameplay.

Too bad I have an integrated AMD GPU (HD 4200)

[quote]Microsoft’s Surface Pros,[/quote] Oh yes.

[QUOTE=.Lain;44127275]honestly titanfall is to source like CoD is to IdTech.[/QUOTE] They still used Source as a base to develop on.

[QUOTE=.Lain;44127275]honestly titanfall is to source like CoD is to IdTech.[/QUOTE] is it, though? I never played the open beta, but from videos and screenshots, it does look like newest version of source with a couple of graphic enhancers slapped on. Same small maps, same prebaked lightning.

Same small maps, same prebaked lightning.[/QUOTE] Yeah it's pretty Source-y, just masked under pretty shaders and faster rendering of static props. When I noticed maps had displacements I knew it was still pretty close. [QUOTE=Delta616;44130065]Why would it be the dota 2 built? That was modified to suit over the top MOAB gameplay.[/QUOTE] What. Game engine =/= game genre. The main reason would be that they don't offer that build of the engine to anyone.

I'm pretty sure it's the dota 2 build since that added the cloth simulation which titanfall has a few instances of.

Running titanfall on a surface pro? Where did they find the hard drive space to put it on?
