I was thinking about getting a laptop for casual gaming like the Sims 3, or Minecraft. I don't have tons of money, and my max budget is $400. I was thinking about getting this (click this) $380 laptop.
It has an Intel Core i3 with Intel HD 4400 Graphics. My question is, will the cpu affect the gpu's performance, because I'm not getting a processor that can't make a decent integrated graphics card decent. I don't need maxed settings. I'm okay with some things on medium, some on high, or even on low if I have to.
Something interesting on PC I used to have:
Sims 3 1080p FPS is higher than Minecraft 1080p FPS. That was on Intel HD 3000 on an i5. This was on my Sony VAIO All-in-one.
Just to restate the question: Does CPU affect integrated graphics? I think I'll get a real good FPS or around 40-50fps because:
1. It's 720p this time, not 1080p
2. It's a better Integrated GPU.
Please let me know if CPU affects integrated graphics. Thank you.
