All the performance comparisons and discussions I have seen online have stated that Ivy Bridge's HD 4000 Graphics will have a 190% performance increase over the Intel HD 3000 Graphics. Does this mean one will have twice as high FPS in gaming?
Right now, on my HP EliteBook with an i5-2410m and Intel HD 3000 I can get 20-30 FPS in SWTOR. If I get an Ivy Bridge laptop down the road, will Intel HD 4000 graphics give 50-60 FPS? That's what an 190% increase would mean, wouldn't it?
I'm only asking this because that seems very unlikely. Does the 190% pertain to things other than gaming, such as capability of higher resolutions in movies, etc, or does it also effect gaming? That would be awesome if it was 190% faster in gaming.
Also, has there been any word on how well HD 4000 overclocks? Would I even be able to overclock it in a laptop?
Thanks in advance to any answers or insight.
