why do we need a gfx card???????????????????????????????????

dear,

the onboard VGA can be iincreade my adding more RAM.
then get a 512 mb RAM module ang share 128 mb to VGA
wao what an idea
isn't it???????????????????????????????????????????

S

may i ask which game?

D

I think Video RAM does'nt affect much. If your onboard grafix doesn't have pixel shader and has 128 MB video ram then you cant play Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Just Example).

You must be playing a really old game to get 85 fps on a GMA900.
Just reserving more system RAM for the graphics chip won't increase performance because there will be a very high latency between system RAM and the graphics chip. This is the reason graphics cards come with dedicated GDDR3 RAM which is optimised for gaming.
Plus there are other factors like pixel pipelines, core clock speed, memory speed, pixel and vertex shaders, shader model used, memory interface (64/128/256 bit) that affect performance.
Even if you dedicate 1 GB RAM to a GMA900, it won't perform any better.

85 fps at 800x600 on GMA900 .. what game man ???

the first reason for shifting to gpu was the low bandwidth between the processor/ram .... games are already beginning to utilize the 4x agp bandwidth .. u can bet that games released a few months later will be barely playable on the gma900 ... better gpu means better handling of textures/shaders/rendering ... without an additional gpu .. how much will the cpu be able to do ??? specially in games utilizing heavy textures/shaders etc.. old games like RTCW will run smooth .. newer games like D3,HL2 will eat the gma900 ....

and btw .. increasing the shared memory will result in higher latency ... might even decrease performance ...

doom 3 at 85 fps .. haha u are tottaly bluffing . coz you wont get that fps on a med level gpx card man. i dont think it was 85 fps . chck this out

D

You have a 2 Ghz proccy, 400 Mhz FSB, 256 MB RAM and an integrated graphics card and you expect us to believe you get 85 fps in Doom 3?

is it doom3 or quake3 :?:

, if its not a typo then u r a psyco :twisted:

(just kidding)

hahahahaha ......85 fps in doom 3 with the oboard intel 900 gma ... man see my config on my signature and beleive me doom 3 was not playable at low/medium settings also man at 800*600 ... this is unbeleivable stuff ... did they launch a doom3 lite version or something ?

huh

he, i run doom 3 on medium settings on intel extreme graphics.
about 10 people have asked me that

but
but

but 85 fps score was from medium setting on gma 900 from chip march 05 issue.
did u understood dude :wink:

i HOPE so 8) :idea:

are yaar vishwas to karo.

there is a guy named vyasakh in this forum who also RAN doom 3.
ask him at "vysakh1989@yahoo.com

it is doom 3 NOT quake 3.

i dun think that there is something 2 get SURPRISED.
but if u r , then............................ nothing CAN be done

u can check that from march 05 ISSUE of CHIP.

HA

HA

Why dun u believe.

SKOAR! told us how 2 run it on 128 mb ram

but
but i ran on 256 mb ram

STRANGE????

Kunwar's story is like a sci-fiction.
But TRUTH IS STRANGE THAN FICTION.
Isn't it mr.Skull.
Did u vcreated the avataar urself.

S

^^^its possible idiot.

doom 3 at mediun settings is also not a joke my frnds intel 915 board with onboard intel extreme graphics and 512 mb of ram and a 2.8ghz ht processor was crawling when doom3 was run at med settings , 85 fps is a joke(and i have laughed enough) .

but 85 fps score was from medium setting on gma 900 from chip march 05 issue.

if u read it again they may have used a good gfx card on that mobo not gma900 onboard ,just a thought....

Its not possible, I think

Ppl, I think he was trying to say 8.5 fps, and we all misunderstood th poor bloke :lol:

N

Hmmmm....I get 45fps in DOOM III with my 3.2GHz Prescott, 1GB DDR400 (dual channel), and 128MB ATi Mobility 9700. I guess something's wrong with my system. I should switch to GMA900

S

hmmm

he would have said that he meant 8.5 fps by now . this thraed has been going on for the last few days

Why the response you may ask ? Well Doom3 is capped at 70fps no matter what your settings are :roll: :roll: Sheesh...dude next time b4 u wanna claim anything check if it is actually possible or not. :lol:

@icecoolz , it is capped at 60 fps but the benchmarking mode is not . anywayz the guy is simply lying abt the 85 fps mark.

And now he is not repling

how come he got 85 fps .. as far as i think 85>60 and d3 is capped at 60 fps even with the fix .. which boosts the fps a litlle but not over 70 ...

800x600 , medium .... right ???? but i need to see it to believe it ... maybe u could record a part of the game where u got 85 fps and mail it to me ... how about that ??? and then i might just get a GMA900 ..... after all it run PoP WW at 800x600,low !!!!!!!

But then again a GMA900 might just out perform a FX5900 with 3Ghz processor + 1GB ram ... donno ... world is going crazy .... tell me one more thing ... did u restart after u applied the new settings over the default settings .....

Instead of writing this u cud hv explained to us that
HOW ON THIS EARTH U R GETTING 85fps

i didn't got 85 fps
i read in CHIP mar 05 issue.
they got it on asrock 915 p4 dual's GMA 900

@kunwar, can u pls post the scanned page of the article.

@kunwar
man u r a nut ........sorry for saying that but u simply started this stupid post whithout even checking the facts .

i just checked the mar 05 issue of chip and ya they got 85 fps on doom 3 on the asrock p4 dual 915 gl board ... but dude did u bother to check the test machine they used for the benchmarking ??? .... the test machine used was
a p4 3.4 ghz , 6600 gt and 512 mb of ddr 400 mhz ram (ocz , corsair) , along with a sata hdd ....

now go check it and guyz and gurlz (sneha) plz forgive this chap

... LMAO.

So Im gonna recoment to ASUS or MSI to launch there cards with 900 GMA instead of 6600 or 6800 nd the hell.

JUST JOKIN YAAR.

dear,
the onboard GMA 900 gfx accelerator scores about 85 fps at 800*600 resolution.
so, why do we need a gfx card??????????
what more FPS do we want???????????????

2) the onboard VGA can be iincreade my adding more RAM.
then get a 512 mb RAM module ang share 128 mb to VGA
wao what an idea
isn't it???????????????????????????????????????????

We need a GPU because .......................we need to play the latest games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a joke 85 fps on GMA900. Stop buying 6600GT everybody.

doom3...85fps on intel gma...HELP...somebody plz admit me to the hospital...i cant stop laughing.
hey man...either u dont know what game u r running or u know nothing abt mathematics

btw....nice pic sneha

i agree with u
mods please close this thread

Let me first go and sell my 6800GT + AMD and go for a GMA900 insted, might even give me >100Fps in FEAR :lol:
