I was pleasantly surprised today when I found out that the Intel HD graphics chip in my new laptop can run Portal 2 at an acceptable frame-rate. Interestingly Minecraft runs really poorly on this machine on even the lowest settings; it goes to show that competent optimization can make a significant difference. The laptop was purchased for productivity, not gaming, but it's nice to know I have options for killing time should the need arise.

I went a little bit too far with the poll and this topic. I WILL post a option to pick I don't hate intel and for now on, I will do research BEFORE ranting. Not rant based on my experience with little to no research. :/


And no, Intel Graphics Card are not crap and I'm saying this because if you don't have a graphics card period, you won't be able to use your PC properly.

I'll take back everything I said.

Nice bump, starfish.

Intel Graphics Cards ARE crap, too, I have no idea what you are talking about. They are for business computers that are not supposed to play games. At all.

I hate when people get computers just to have computers and don't take the time to see if it can handle all their crap.

I meant integrated GPU, lol

[Fredulus]

Intel makes great integrated graphics. Integrated graphics aren't for playing games, though.

When you're buying something expensive you want to make sure you know everything about it. I used to not know any knowledge of PC hardware. I then wanted to build a new computer. Then I had to learn some basic things I needed to know, so I would be able to run everything that I wanted to. I actually didn't spend too much only about $850-$900, back in 2009. It runs every game on the market at about medium-high graphics settings, with no lag issues.

I also agree with everything Miga said.

When you buy a PC, you know you have a perfectly good chance to look at what comes with it, right?

Intel GPUs are meant for business/everyday use (inernet browsing, just general PC use), not gaming. They won't stop making GPUs because they offer low-end GPUs that are excellent on battery to those who need it.

So, basically, don't complain about how nothing runs because you had a perfectly good chance to look a what came with it and threw that chance away. Any smart person knows not to get a computer with Intel graphics if they want to game.

So basically, yeah. Don't complain. Just get a new GPU, or a new laptop if you bought a laptop expecting to do games on it.

Strikes for ATI -

Driver updates can cause incompatibility with other games.

I didn't bought it.
I got it for Christmas.
Plus, my parents was not able to buy a gaming PC so they bought me a normal one.
Sorry about the bump.
