Rue101 0 Posted January 13, 2005 I have an Inspiron 1150 Dell Laptop with Intel Exteme Graphics Card I don't know much about computers at this point so can anyone tell me how I can tell if a game is compatible with my graphics card because most games have an Nvidia requirement and such. I don't know anymore about my graphics card other than the name. So if you need anymore information on it I don't have it sorry . Also what upgrades on graphics cards can I get for my laptop. Or can you advise me on a site that can teach me a bit more about upgrades and which upgrades are better and how so. Share this post Link to post
peterh 1 Posted January 13, 2005 Well, Intel Extreme is one of the slowest graphics chipsets on the market. For example, its about 6 times slower than a bottom of the range ATI Radeon 9200 card. So, it will limit you to what games you can run on it. Doom3, Sims2, Half Life 2 etc will probably NOT run on such a graphics chip. The problem is you cannot upgrade graphics chips on laptops, so you are stuck with the Intel Extreme chipset. So running Works or Office would be ok. A laptop with a Mobile Radeon or Nvideo nForce chipset would have been better for games. Share this post Link to post
