Motherboard Onboard Video - Gaming?

[NoStateofMind]

Anyone here use integrated video for gaming? I'm interested to see which onboard video chipset you use, the games you play and at what settings. Any and all comments are welcomed.

Thanks

Because gamers don't get integrated graphics. According to Google, Intel's newest chip, the X3100, can do Call of Duty 4 at 800x600 everything set to low.

I figured that much but there has to be a few on here that use integrated GPU's for gaming (CSS/WOW) at low settings. Just wanted first hand user experience with these games.

I have the x3100 on my laptop. I can play Guild Wars at medium settings, Madden 08 at medium settings, CIV IV at high settings. That's all I have loaded at the time. After hearing how crappy this IGP was I was surprised at how well it ran the games I loaded.

I have G965 mobo with X3000 chip, driver support was a crappy, played a couple of demos and haven't touched a game since.

Yeah... I can play WoW - sort of - on my Dell laptop. It has a Quadro NVS 135M. 1440x900 works okay at low settings.

The problem with the X3000/X3100 is its inconsistency. In some games, like HL2 and Far Cry, it runs amazingly well, while older games might not.

From user reports, Wolfstein Enemy Territory had good average fps, but very inconsistent, sometimes dropping to zero, which the recent driver fixes that. Especially true with the mobile version, some people even report Warcraft III can't run well.
