YankeesPwnMets Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Intel has claimed that the HD 4000 will be significantly better than the HD 3000 GPU... now my question is whether this will be the first Intel chip to be suffice to run GTA IV? What do you guys think? http://www.anandtech.com/show/5772/mobile-...n56vm-preview/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Never. It's still too weak. I just saw a hierarchy chart and the HD 3000 is in the same level as the GeForce 6800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkey82 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It's certainly closing the gap; considering the general direction of gaming, in a few more iterations Intel GPUs will probably suffice for most games, at decent enough settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendly luggage Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Damn I thought it would be better than that. Maybe ATi 5670 performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unc13bud Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 it might run OK. i have been enjoying both gta IV/EFLC with onboard 6550d (5570/5470/5670 but with 64-bit bus). but i am not interested in paying oodles for intel processor and motherboard to find out.

yoječ Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Damn I thought it would be better than that. Maybe ATi 5670 performance? HD4000 is nowhere near HD5670... Hell, even HD6550 (the most powerful IGP on the market) is far behind HD5570, let alone HD5670. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendly luggage Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 No I was hoping it would be as powerful as an ATi 5670. I didn't mean that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Maybe AMD Trinity will get close to HD5670, but I wouldn't bet my money on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unc13bud Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4448/amd-lla...mance-preview/3 GPU Performance: Between a Radeon HD 6450 & 5570I grabbed some of our most recent GPU testbed data for the Radeon HD 6450 and the Radeon HD 5570, the latter of which is architecturally most similar to the Sumo GPU in the A8-3850. If you're wondering how much sharing memory bandwidth between the GPU and four CPU cores impacts performance, it's pretty significant. The HD 6450 only has 160 cores compared to 400 on the 6550D, while the 5570 has 400 cores running at 750MHz. Note that these scores are taken with DDR3-1333, however if we push the memory bus all the way to its limit on desktop (DDR3-1866) you end up with performance that's somewhere between a 6450 and a 5570. AMD's branding makes sense in this case (6550D). and it's fast enough to play GTA IV (after one memrestrict commandline and patch 7), i know because i am doing it everyday, which lends to my personal theory that gta IV doesn't care how fast the cores are, it just cares that there are cores, and that there are enough shaders to render the details at whatever graphics settings chosen.

unc13bud Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) thought it was time for an update: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5771/the-int...-3770k-review/9 if i was sure that intel's increased IPC made enough of a difference over regular stars architecture in GTA IV... i don't want to pay $350 for processor and $200/$250 for motherboard to find out.

Dr. John Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It might run with more than 20 FPS but I think in the present where there are some awesome games like Skyrim, we should use Nvidia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansgas1000 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) probably better than my absolute f**king crap Radeon 3200 HD. Anyway i'd say min settings 25fps Edited June 2, 2012 by dansgas1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansgas1000 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I did a test. The gold tick means maxed out settings and the green tick means medium to high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo440 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 16 cores and higher clocks, it's still an 800x600 all low system for GTA IV.. plays low-thread games like skyrim, anno2070 good though, even low-end ones and the sandy bridge ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyphonPayne Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The way I see it, Intel's doing things right. What do you want more in a CPU? A better CPU, or a better GPU? Who shops for a CPU for it's GPU capabilities? Intel's HD graphics are "good enough" for those that don't care about hardcore gaming thus can make the CPU that costs "oodles" more appealing. Then, those who want a decent GPU will likely want the best CPU they can get anyway so they are willing to spend "oodles" for the CPU as well as another "oodles" for the GPU. Intel also has cheaper CPUs that are appealing that also have the HD graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If AMD made better processors, Intel would have to drop their prices. There, I said it, AMD is sucking more and more while Intel keeps jacking up their sh*t. Mobo manufacturers are only picking up on this trend, making as much money out if it as they can. We need a healthy competition on the marked but are getting shafted instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 A better CPU, or a better GPU? Who shops for a CPU for it's GPU capabilities? CPUs with good GPU are ideal for HTPC and low-power gaming rigs (for non-hardcore gamers ). There is a point to them, though to most poeople IGP isn't necessary.

It's efficiency, we're not all rich or living off our parents.. A8 fusions with the 400SP APU/IGPU actually get good frames at medium settings with GTA IV, the 64bit shared bus is the major bottleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansgas1000 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) i saw video and a guy had medium settings on NFS the run he could run 20-25fps at medium settings. And it run BF3 and skyrim 1024x768 at low maybe low/medium and that is nearly 40fps Edited June 8, 2012 by dansgas1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unc13bud Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 CPUs with good GPU are ideal for HTPC and low-power gaming rigs (for non-hardcore gamers) i prefer "gamers with real 40-hour jobs and bills to pay" if i wasn't playing gta IV so much, i would be on here arguing with blockheads about nothing and solving the same. as it is, i can barely make it in here to attempt to undo some of the damage you guys are doing... http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=512417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my post history you'll see I avoid this section a lot, it doesn't matter what you know or what your credentials are, there are entire groups of trolls who lurk this section daily and have been for years.. I agree with the working class gamer perspective, there are too many unemployed losers here who think their priorities reflect on those of the rest of society who have to actually earn things..

unc13bud Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 i was mad that day. i hate coming in here and they have given really bad advice and i am too late to help the original poster. as far as intel 4000, i don't have a supreme reference for how their graphics correspond in gta IV to nvidia/amd. i just bought a gt 640 this week http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814125433 for another computer and am testing it. it's definitely more powerful than a 9800gt/gts 450, but its nowhere near a gtx 560 either (of course). power savings and temperature are incredibly low though.

unc13bud Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 i have tested mine, at 1024x768, it runs the same details, etc. as my gtx 285/460/465 but with a fraction of the power necessary. i am now trying to decide which machine to play on, this or the Llano - i use the other kvm connection for different kinds of machines, linux, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyphonPayne Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Sorry but 1024x768 is an AWFUL resolution to play at for the most part so to compare it to even a GTX 285 or 460 or 465 is just, not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
