[Solved] Intel HD 2000 Vs nVidia GeForce 8400 GS.

Which one is faster and how much?

as you can see intel hd 2000 is a built in graphics...while 8400gs is external gpu....i recently had this gpu on my pentium 4....in which i cant able to play fifa 11 maxed out...but now i have core i5 2400 means intel hd graphics...now i can play fifa 11 maxed out...
the difference is hd 2000 is newer technology and a faster than 8400gs which is quite old...

haha...i am 14 yeals old mate...yeah i play gta san andreas maxed out and get around 25 fps with fraps and about 40without fps....i play crysis 2,bfbc2 and nfs hot pursuit 2010 and dirt 3 on 1920*1200 resolution on low settings...but nfs hot pursuit lag a bit...it is fine with 1600*900...
and go for 4gb ram..you will get better fps...

1024*768....beause its the highest i can get...
core i5 2400
4gb ddr3 kingston
intel dh67cl mobo
intel hd 2000

above i was talking about nfs hot pursuit mate:0

I used to own a old HP Pavilion with a pentium 4 and a 8400 GS and trust me the game ran great at near max with No AA at 1280X1024.Considering the intel hd is one tier above the 8400 and your fast CPU the game will run great at 1600X900.You may not be able to turn on AA.As far as hot pursuit 2010 goes forget max settings with that card.I own a i7 870 with a gtx 275 and with forced AA from the control panel and max settings I got about 40 fps at 1680X1050.You will have to lower settings in hot pursuit 2010.
BTW if you are planning to buy a GPU next year you should be aiming at the radeon 7000 series or gtx 600.

because i played the gta on my old monior....1a week ago i just got a new led monitor...

For OC i5 is better, and i wont OC. Here i5 2400 and 2500k differs by about $35. With that $35 i can get a HD 5450 here. So no point of i5 2500k.

of nfs hot pursuit ???

i said i played gta at 1024*768 on maximum settings and got around 30_40 fps easily...and oh you can see my youtube channel where i have uploaded videos of few games at intel hd

i have told u man i havent played it on 1600*900 because i had the 17 inch monitor and 1 wek ago i got the 20 inch one...i played gta on 1024*768 and get around 20-40 fps...billubadshah96 is my username...

Celpas@ thanks, but are you sure?


Bilalwaseem@ I asked you something else.

man man man.....i am telling that when i played gta san andreas a month ago i have the 17 inch monitor...so i cant get 1600*900 resolution in that monitor...it was also very weak in pplaying games...so then i upgraded to 20 inch monitor now i play games at 1600*900 and 1920 *1200....

oh...i have just deleted the game...ok i will download it again and show you how it worked...but it will take some time because i am from pakistan so the internet is slow and takes time to download...but i will show you surely...but nothing to worry about because you can play it with max settings..

ok....you can see gta san andreas on intel hd on some other videos.....i am sure like mine....you will play without any problems

everyone is just posting vids from youtube. please people, post back with benchmarked results(you can find them more faster than youtube videos)

speaking of which, the link I've posted above is a chart, identify the GPU's in question and see where they lie.

Personally, you can game on an intel HD2000/3000 chip but don't expect your eyes to water because of seeing really awesome special effects.

I built a rig for a pal, an HTPC rig with these;
ECS H67H2-M
intel i3-2100 @ stock
4GB kingston DDR3 1333MHz
2TB Samsung HD204UI HDD
Thermaltake Toughpower 600W PSU

and he was able to play FIFA 11 and PES 11 with the settings set to medium. But he was disappointed with the results...I told him to invest in a discrete card(one which is ofcourse higher than the iGPU) and he can then call it a gaming(mid-high end) HTPC build.

P.S; game developers spend a good amount of time to bump up details on games - exclude MW3 so a discrete GPU is worth it...one which is 3 tiers higher ofcourse.

hope this helps.

there is, look down the lower third of the chart and on your right under the Intel column.

I'll say it again, don't expect much from the 2000/3000 iGPU. But as a temporary solution, you could play older titles on low settings or res's. Either way the iGPU gets the job done.

ricky, as requested, thread closed.
