Hi

I have to send my video card back for RMA next week so im going to have to use the sandy bridge onboard GPU.

Will the HD 3000 run desktop ok at 1920 by 1200? obviously i know gaming is a no no.

It is actually quite decent. As above you can game at low res on low settings.

You can do some gaming at a low res and the lowest settings, and of course running a desktop will be fine.

I don't have a gpu at the mo, so using the 2500k igpu. It works fine for low res gaming. I have overclocked mine to 1450mhz, which helps.
 
Thanks guys, so for example, to run wow or SC II, what res would i have to downgrade too?

I know the in game settings would have to be all lowered to low, would i get away with 1680 or would it need to be 1440.

Edit: i guess i could find the info out on Google really :)

Although this is an HD 4000 (and overclocked a bit too), I'm running BF3 64 player maps on the lowest settings at 1650x1050, so they aren't bad really.

Just been using a friends HD4000, and BF3 i'm actually quite shocked. It runs really well for what it is. I've had it run awful on some laptops.

Overclocked to 1550 +.350 on the volts, max this gigabyte board appears to let you up the volts.

Bf3 64 player maps, running at 1280x720 low settings. 80% of the time above 30fps, flying away looking at nothing you get 90. During combat lots of people i've seen it drop 24-28. Mostly running above 30, and felt pretty decent.

I know this isn't the best ever, but after putting up with it on a laptop when i'm away, was interesting seeing what the igpu could do, and felt like i could play it like that.
 
Really can't find much.

Intel Extreme tuning something with the correct drivers shows up a gfx tab. But at the time i couldnt get it to appear so did it via the bios.

Appears uninstalling drivers, then installing original ones, then using windows update/driver update. Then running the intel extreme the gfx tab appeard and allowed overclocking.

I did find a thread talking about 1600 at .400+ volts, but couldn't raise above 350 on the motherboard bios menu.
