Onboard Graphics question.

Mr.Mccoy · 30 Aug 2011 at 21:31

Hello there,
Im going to be build a computer soon but im not getting the GPU until christmas.
So I was wondering if i could do some gaming on onboard graphics until then.

I'm just wondering if this mobo even has it.

Sorry if im completely wrong, not to good with computers.

Heres the mobo - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-054-AK

i would be happy play tf2 at lowest settings with steady fps, and most valve games.
would this be possible?

Thanks.

Team Fortress 2? should be similar to HL2 as they both run on source, I'm downloading it at the moment actually so will give it a try in half an hour for you, see what sort of fps I get

Ok thanks.
