About onboard graphics

I'm buying an i5 cpu tomorrow. Should I use the integrated HD 2500 or my GT220 for DA:I at 900p?

This is a temporary solution though and Im getting a new card next month.

Integrated graphics will be better then a GT 220

This is a test someone did against the GT 220 and the HD 2500

Where the red is the GT 220 and green is the HD 2500

I'd suggest you just bite your nails and wait till you get a better card, I dont think it is going to be a nice experience playing (or trying to play) with either of these... :/

Thanks, I think I'd go with the 2500 though.

The problem is I've been waiting for about a week and I can only afford either a cpu or graphics card (I'm not much of a patient person). I've tried to play it though, the only problem was the stuttering which I think was caused by having a 2 core/thread processor. That's the reason I'm upgrading.

Do it then, if you can get a GPU soon enough tho. Its like having a Ferrari with a beetle engine. Sure it looks cool but it runs like crap.
