cvrdheeraj Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi all, I had GTA III and GTA Vice City. I loved them and now i want to buy GTA San Andreas. But before buying, i want to ask that wheather GTA San Andreas can run with Intel Extreme Graphic card? Many of them say that Intel Extreme Graphics Card doesnt support all games so i wanted to clear my issue before buying. My system, Intel Extreme Graphics, Intel Pentium IV, 2400 Mhz, D845GVSR Windows Xp Professional, 120 GB HDD, 16x DVD ROM, 512 MB Ram. Intel Extrene Graphic Card doesnot support hardware T&L so is it possible to run GTA San Andreas smoothly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 If it works at all, don't expect much performance out of it. Buy a real GFX card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed209 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Seconded. Integrated graphics from Intel just aren't meant for gaming, not with decent frame rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I May third this. Surprisingly enough, and hard to believe, i ran Vice City on integrated onboard video. I can't believe i did that.....objects were always missing in the game and appearing late and i was driving into invisible things, then when i reached i think it was the next island, the game wouldn't load anymore, i got "Unhandled Exception" error messages. I don't think it will work. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I've ran GTA III on a S3 intergrated graphics ('twas a A64 3000+ s754, 512mb ram) and it could only handle it on 640x480x16. I'm scared to think of how San Andreas will run. If you don't have alot of money, you could buy a AGP GeForce 6200, depending what slots your motherboard has. Does it have an AGP slot? These Intel intergrated stuff is just to display an image and play DVD movies. Terrible with pretty much anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Intel intergrated stuff is just to display an image and play DVD movies. Terrible with pretty much anything else. I have Integrated EXtreme GFX v2 in my laptop, and I can play Vice City at 1280x768 with a good constant 20-25fps. If I go down to a normal resolution like 1024x768 and settle for black bars on the sides, I get a near constant 30. I do need to keep draw distance pretty low though, but the game is very playable on this. San Andreas on the other hand is an extremely stressful game graphically, and mx420's struggle with it. I seriously doubt that this will run SA at any playability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black-hawk Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 SA runs on my laptop with a Radeon IGP 330 16 Meg at 640x480x16 with no lag at all. Everything is set to low though. Still I find it hard to play on those settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew1g Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 San Andreas on the other hand is an extremely stressful game graphically, and mx420's struggle with it with everything turned low and the draw distance set to full I get 20-22 fps on mine. but in parts like las venturas I get 5 fps It's not that bad. At least I got used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvrdheeraj Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Ok, thanks. But is there a way to disable the onboard graphics and add a new graphics card? I am going to buy ATI Radeon or GeForce4. Is there a possibility to add them to my Intel Desktop board?? Any help will be appretiated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just add the card and the AGP port should take over. But you can also look in the BIOS to see if there is a setting to disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafia Righthand_Man Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Don't let the "Extreme" part fool you. There's nothing extreme about it. Maybe 'they' think there is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
