Intel HD 2000 Graphics

[Andre2807]

Hi guys. I'm ordering today the Intel Core i3 2120 with HD 2000 graphics. The games I have bought so far is:

GTA 4
GTA Episodes of Liberty City
Metro 2033
Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas
Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas 2
Unreal Tournament 3
Far Cry 2

I'm ordering my Gainward GTX 560 Ti Phantom on the 26th of January. I would just like to know if I would be able to play any of these games at least 1024 x 768/800 x 600 to get 30+ fps until I get my GTX 560 Ti.

Maybe UT3 and Rainbow 6 since both use the Unreal Engine 3 and I don't believe it is as demanding as more recent game engines.

Cool.. I saw a vid on YouTube of GTA 4 being played on Intel HD 2000, but I'm not really convinced.

gta 4 demands pc resources. it's quite cpu bound. which cpu was being used in that video?

Not likely. COD WaW was pretty choppy with an I52400 and Intel 2000 graphics.

You will play these games 30+ fps no problem

here's anandtech's test with core i3 2100 and hd 2000 igp. hd 2000 struggles with metro 2033. hd 2000 will most likely deliver very low fps with the latest games unless you set the gfx settings to 800x600 (if possible).

I've decided to squeeze in the GTX 560 Ti within my budget. Going to play all my games at 1080p.
