I've been playing games just fine on the 950 here. All I want really is to be able to A) Play Halo CE on highest. and B) play morrowind with more than 5 foot draw distance. If I can play some newer games on mid/high or low/mid settings, thats a plus.
And it may be a typo, but on a Gateway laptop which has this card, it says the card has 256 dedicated. I always get wildly different results from what Notebookcheck says I *should* be getting, so I don't trust them too much anymore. Specs on the one I'm looking at(why is it so hard to find a dual-core these days?) Gateway AMD Athlon II X2 @ 2.3GHz 4GB of DDR3 RAM 320GB 5400RPM SATA HDD ATI Radeon HD 4250 with (supposedly, other LTs have shared mem with this card) 256mb dedicated Win7 64-bit all this compared to my current one: Toshiba Intel Core Duo @ 1.6 Ghz 2GB of DDR2 80GB 5400RPM SATA HDD GMA 950 with v1.1E Win7 32-bit On Jul 8, 2:43 pm, hussam aulaian <[email protected]> wrote: > no 4250 is one of the entry level GPUs of the 4xxx series , i dont advise it > > http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-HD-4250.29664.0.html > > 3200 and 4250 are so near both with similar performances and they both fall > at the end of class 3 GPUs and > near to intel 4500MHD performance , and 4250 has only shared memory and not > dedicated > so i advise u to think 100x times before u buy it if u want to play games > go to ATI mobility 4650 and higher only -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
