Which Mobile Integrated GPU can play BF2 R at 1366x768 ? HD3000, 6520G, 6620G , HD4000 ?

And at what level?

In short, I am buying another work laptop, spending as little as possible, I have an immediate choice of a HD3000, 6520G, 6620G, or I can wait a week and get a HD 4000.

Can any of these play PR at medium settings?

What if I overclock the 6520G or 6620G with K10Stat?

Can anyone who uses these tell me their experiences?

Thanks

Based on a review by AnandTech, the 6620 is by far the best performer of the combos you have listed. The only competition on the list comes from the HD4000. However, Intel's integrated GPUs are only good when paired with a monster cpu (3720QM for example).

Hope this helps!

All intel solutions - not worth even looking at if the things goes around gamming, even bf 2 engine.

I occasionally try playing on a i3-2310m with HD3000. The processor can handle PR just fine, but you get huge dips of bottleneck due to the shared memory constraints. So you'll be playing at 20-40fps, and then suddenly for 10-15 seconds it'll dive to sub-15fps, making it unplayable for the duration, and then return to regular FPS.

I do not regard the HD3000 as playable due to the memory allocation [VRAM] issues.

You better wait for a trinity iGPU now, since they just got released for laptops, like the HD 7660G, which is basically similar to a desktop HD 6670 1GB (DDR3 version).

I already ended up buying the i5-2520m with HD3000 due to the ability to run virtual machines.

I'll lock this thread.
