While Intel’s newest chipsets might support integrated DirectX 10 support, their performance is a totally different story altogether. After all, what good is it if DirectX 10 is supported only for one to run the following titles at such poor (unplayable) frame rates?
- Call of Juarez @ 1280 x 1024, no AA/AF — 1.8 fps
- Crysis @ 1280 x 1024, no AA/AF — 4.4 fps
- World in Conflict @ 1280 x 1024, no AA/AF — 5 fps
- BioShock @ 1280 x 1024, no AA/AF — 3.7 fps
- Company of Heroes @ 1280 x 1024, no AA/AF — 3.6 fps
Clearly, you’ll still need a spanking new dedicated graphics card if you ever want to get your DirectX 10 games going. Otherwise, stick to Web-based games like Bejeweled…
