Far Cry carves out another win for the GMA X, offering very playable performance with some minor image enhancements. Far Cry fans will be very happy with the X First, an amusing anecdote: running the game with the graphics card set at Minimum actually results in WORSE performance than running it with the graphics card set at Low.
And here we come to what was hands down the most aggravating, major disappointment of the entire suite of benchmarks. Their big win was playable performance in Episode One, which inherited the technology pioneered in Lost Coast. So I set everything to its lowest setting and ran the video stress test. This is horrendous. Simply put, image quality on the X is, much like the framerates often are, erratic.
I can't even get acceptable performance out of Warcraft 3 which is some 5 years old from this laptop which is less than 1 year old and upgraded to 1gb of ram. Basically I wasted my money on a new laptop that shipped with an old video card - that wasn't on the description but I'm sure you can blame Acer or Circuit City for that. One thing's for certain - it's not my fault for putting my trust in a well known and respected name like Intel.
Today I noticed HP have brought out a new notebook which looks quite cool. I haven't been able to locate any benchmarks showing how this card stacks up against nVidia and ATI notebook offerings, and I'm afraid of blowing another wad of cash on a machine I'm going to be consistently disappointed by. So be honest now - if I buy the new HP with the Intel X am I going to be able to play modern games on it like Command and Conquer 3 without dumbing down every possible feature and stopping every system service to squeeze every bit of juice out of the rest of the notebook, or should I just buy something else?

Lenovo has some sweet laptops with the choice between X or discrete nVidia graphics. ThinkPad R I must confess a certain degree of ignorance on this matter.
I bought a new Sony VGN-SZ series laptop with the x and seem to find it is capable of displaying very high quality graphics but with appalling fps. Even not 5 year old games. X uses DVMT to adjust video memory consumption on demand. It will eat up to MB main memory. Some threads of interest if you have to much time:. I have tried even higher resolutions and they worked.
Forget about the youtube videos you saw. I know the videos as well as reality as well as benmarks. Okay here you go:. Basically those drivers were never tested against games. The same applies for all Windows binaries. This memory is not used by caches.
Often the Bit OS is faster since it doesn't use. You won't see a single video. Drivers are really getting better and tested for Bit Windows. However Bit drivers are the pace: In general they work better. Laptops integrate a lot of devices lan, w-lan, bluetooth, fingerprint, card reader, firewire, touchpad, sound, There are many things which can break. For laptops with 4GB of memory 64 Bit may make sense if you use Linux, since most drivers are available in source and can be compiled for either platform just fine.
