Will the Onboard Graphics run most games?

jonathanx54 · 10-18-2009, 11:33 PM

I was looking for a cheap motherboard with onboard graphics. How good is this motherboard's graphic abilites?.....http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=4936681

Would it run games like call of duty or Farcry2?

Mobo is good, but onboard graphic not enough for gaming

Nope intergrated graphics are not realy intended for gaming.

If you want to game you will need a dedicated card.

That motherboard has some of the best oboard graphics for motherboards. You will probably be able to play COD it is not a very graphics intense game. I'm not sure about far cry I have never played it. If you are talking about the first far cry then yes I'm not sure about the second one.

Note: Yes you will be able to play probably on no more then low settings. I would get a graphics card as soon as possible if you plane on playing newer games.

Just a FYI - that's a micro-atx board.

If you have a mid sized case - you might want an atx board for more room to expand if you want to later on.

This is a much better board for a few dollars more.

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P ($109.99)

Yeah, I know it's a micro version, but I was just looking for a cheap motherboard.

Alright, thanks guys. I'll probably save my money for an ATX board and a Graphics Card.
