Good news for Intel G965 Users who use integrated graphics

[Choto Cheeta]

Do i sound like a AMD fanboy ? I think so.

I dont mind at all

PS:I have even heard about the IGP in asus 690G mobo overclock to have 20% improvemnet....now thats cool.Since u dont overclock u wont need this anyway...

umm.. in that case i would say take a look at G965 based P5B-V / VM boards, are they bad overclocker ?? I have one of those and really not some kick as performance as like Nvidia chipset based ones, but not bad att all

and which model of G33 mobo did u see and its price....the one which i saw was a intel DG33U for 5700 which is significantly higher than corresponding 690G...even asus 690G costs about 3.6 only and MSI one just 3k.Is the G33 IGP inferior than those on G965 ?

Well prices will be around same or lower than DG965RY for the TL mobo, but i didnt get the exact price... guess as RY is just Rs. 4800 now, so will be a 4500 board !!!

and yes from the wiki link seems it is one board which come one on wiki put bellow G965 ones !!!

but take a look at the specification on Intel Web Site... G33 and G965 as there it says X3100 with G33 will support only Shader Model 2.0 where as G965 will support Shader Model 3.0



where as Wiki as well as this Review do says it (G33 / GMA X3100) will suppose Shader Model 3.0....

Pretty confusing, will email Intel

I thot in a cafe more than 1 system will be used and power consumption will play a big role

This time around I would be going for TFTs !!! that would save a lot of Power

Since u have used all proccies u may know better than me.

I said I used but why u make the comment as I know better than u , we come here to share our thoughts, so i really dont like these stuff of no u are better I am not things...

I am open for suggetion from any one even if he had no Personal system

also the fact that the drivers for intsl IGP with full support are supposed to come only in next year

I agree and add to that, Support for DX10 is not yet official, but though its roumor, but its expected that these will support DX 10

I meant overclocking the IGP itself and not the proccy.i dont know which way u took it.

Well prices will be around same or lower than DG965RY for the TL mobo, but i didnt get the exact price... guess as RY is just Rs. 4800 now, so will be a 4500 board !!!

Dont u think u can further bring costs down a bit by going with correponding AMD one because of cheaper and equally capable mobo and also the power consumption along with TFTs will make cost of ownership less in the long run....

I read somewhere that G33 has 3100 only and not X3100.....not sure

This time around I would be going for TFTs !!

Wow ur cafe should be one awesome experience with all u have done.....havent found a cafe like that in my place.

I haven't not installed stalker or seen the engine files. There should be an option in the game somewhere or in one of the config files about "Dsiplay culling" & "Draw Distance". Try changing those values

sorry but im not that stupid, i say far from player, but its a filter problem, not o draw distance issue, this also happens to me with battlefield 2, but... with shadows, i've updated STALKER, but i cant run it now, im busy with other stuff... maybe tomorrow ill give it a try

I Was busy playing Farcry
Farcry can be played at 1024 at all settings set to high and with AF8x but water quality medium and plays very smooth no lags at all

Some of the Farcry Images played with x3000 with above settings

Edited My post

I doubt MX4000 plays Farcry at these settings

 

[deathvirus_me]

Hmmm .. i think i played it on a XP 2400+ , MX4000 , 768 MB RAM , 1024*768 , medium .. actually , the "water" quality is the same .. ..

hey MX4000 is the least supported card in graphics cards history.
Well i was one of the victim and later shell out some more bucks to get a 6600.

And while Farcray was playable on MX4000 but it was giving black artifacts.

i myself has checked that GMA X3000 surpasses even GF 6600 256MB 128bit in some games.
