Link with graphics card comparison, and it isn't looking good... Zalis Send a noteboard - 28/07/2010 07:48:51 PM
Compare these two lists...

Look for the 6600GT on this one:

And the X3100 on here:

Trouble is, even with the faster X3100, it doesn't compare very well in areas like texture fill rates and memory bandwidth. It's not as far behind on clock speeds, but I'm really doubting it would leave you with satisfactory performance. That being said, we could cross fingers and hope Blizzard was being stingy with the reqs? Not likely, though.


/edit/
Another link, but it shows the X3100 in the lowest game-capable category:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Graphic-Cards.130.0.html

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

You'll have to buy one, get the receipt coupon, buy the 2nd w/ that for $40, return the first. - 28/07/2010 07:41:02 PM 666 Views

Integrated graphics? I very highly doubt it. Sorry. - 28/07/2010 07:43:41 PM 598 Views
I don't think so. You won't have a good experience with it. Check systemrequirementslab, though. - 28/07/2010 07:54:15 PM 757 Views

I can't run it on mine either! - 29/07/2010 12:46:14 AM 682 Views
the graphics card is your killer, as others have told you - 28/07/2010 09:02:27 PM 591 Views
I'm thinking maybe you need a better graphics card... - 28/07/2010 11:12:36 PM 831 Views
It's not the cutscenes that require the graphical power; it's the 3D graphics. - 28/07/2010 11:20:53 PM 639 Views
