Is Intel GMA X4500 good for games?

[blueflamepaintball]

Not entirely. That crappy intel GPU enables me to buy a cheap laptop for my grandmother for christmas. Those GPUs have their place in systems that don't require much in the ways of graphics.

If you'd like to weigh your options for a notebook, I highly recommend you open a post in the laptops/notebooks section, in which you fill you Maziar's sticky (you'll find it when you visit the section).

but you could easily get integrated ATI for cheaper with better preformance

ok well everyone has said that it is bad for running direct x10... but what is it like if i just run it on low with direct x9

THE x4500 IS TERRIBLE FOR GAMING!
If you plan on gaming, even with lowered settings, you NEED a dedicated GPU!

i have a laptop with intel 4500 graphics, and im playing:
- PES 2010 (medium settings).
- Call of Duty 4 (medium settings).
- Obscure 2 (high settings).
- NBA 2K10 (low settings except resolution 1280x800)
- Prince of persia 4 (low settings)
and use it also for 3Ds Max and game development.. and its quite not bad
