Intel intagrated sucks, i didnt even know it could render anything like halo. the best budget PCI (not PCI-e) GPU is an Fx5200 from chaintech. its what i have and i can run with everything at high at 800x600 with an avarage of 25FPS. and it only cost me $45.

integrated's not that bad. I can run it at max settings with 640 at 70 frames

I use an integrated card. Although the eye candy has lost its sweetness, I can still run Halo at 640x480 setting with 30-40 fps.

Yes it does. There are very good PCI options. The best right now is the Radeon X1300. The best NVIDIA PCI is the GeForce 6200. Both are very rare, but if you know where to look, you'll find one.

W.H.O.A. That is low...

Just run at 640x480, assuming you have an integrated card, it won't really matter how low your video setting is. Remember, framerate is more important than eye candy.

Everyone claiming they're running high on integrated (unless you have an ATI X200/Nvidia 6150). Take some screenshots, I don't believe you.

  • 08.16.2006 2:51 PM PDT

I'll take one - I'll edit this post as soon as it's up.

integrated hotness

things i had running slowed it a bit, but oh well. 60 is good enough.

edit: btw that's 640 res with everything at max (i can enable everything) i like the look of 640, used to run halo with everything at minimum, used to get average 140 frames or something like that

Damn. Your integrated looks better than mine. The only things not grayed out on mine are particles and textures, which I set on High. Dont need to prove it to you because I dont care if you believe me. O.o

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Intel sucks? O RLY?!

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Uhh, yeah, I can run 800x600 with specular and shadows on. Though I'll get a framrate of about 30. It's not that bad once you get used it of course. Make sure your drivers are updated. I cannot stress that enough.

Cool, thanks. I get 22 as a low, with occaisonal spikes as high as 60. Usually hovers around 30 though.
