Intel 943GM Graphics

fail at the internets · 25 Apr 2007 at 17:06

Does anyone have a review of this integrated card so i can see if it will run half life? Also how does it compare to Intel 945GM Express chipset.

Finally would i notice a difference between 533MHz Memory and 667Mhz on a laptop.

Thanks

i found the 945GM graphics chipset quite dissapointing for anything other than movies it should run half life 1 no problem and the differnce with the memory is the speed so 667 would be faster than 533 mostly a differnce in program loading times ect

What about the 943Gm??, so i couldn't run WoW on either of these intergrated graphics even with all the settings on low?

If it helps my Intel 945GM in this Core 2 Duo laptop (phillips X56) will run GTA:vice city (at 60fps) and GTA:SA (at 25fps). SA is just about playable on low settings at the screens default resolution of 1280x720.

It will also run BF1942 on medium settings.

New games (DX9) however don't bother.

Mine plays Call of Duty pretty well

I must get about 30fps on average in Guild Wars with mine at 1200x800, albeit at lower settings. In busy cities though... Can go down to be more around 18.
I have ran Half Life 2 Gary's Mod on the 945Gm and it really was pushing it, I can't remember what sort of frames I was getting but it wasn't great.

you shouldnt have many problems with WoW as its mostly ram dependant if you have a gig of ram it should be ok
