What ya reckon??? - Intel GMA X3100 Graphics

[Julimbob]

Who thinks what to the MacBook's Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor (with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory) for running games?

I know integrated graphics are generally **** but I thought I'd ask to see what anyone thinks about those ones. I've read they're not too bad.

Thanks,

Take a look at this list

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

The GMA X3100 scores 483 in 3Dmarks 06 while a decent mobile card such as the 8800M GTS scores 7748. So yeah, night and day difference.

Yeah, they're still crap.

Any Intel graphics however good they are, will most likely never beat a MX440 or a Ti320...

yeah, my laptop (nongaming laptop) has that chipset in it, it cant even run certain games due to the drastic difference in the way the drivers are for them. some games (like WoW and older games) will run on it, but low fps for sure.
