Solved Is There A 'Intel HD4000' Independant Graphics Card

[Pedroc1999]

Is the HD4000 Avaiable as an independand graphics card or just as intergrated. Also. What is the independant graphics card equivalent to it?

If I'm not mistaken, the intel HD series is an integrated graphics setup.

ALL Intel graphics are integrated. They haven't had a card for years. Last one was the i740, back in the late '80s early '90s. Look at nvidia or AMD/ATI for graphics cards.

The Intel HD4000, as previously stated, is an integrated GPU on the chip. It is just fine for watching a movie or surfing the net. For gaming, it does not have what it takes at all. I used mine once just to see. It did well just surfing and watching something like you tube. But, I loaded BF3 and it crashed every time, during loading. Based on my experience, I would not even think about gaming with one, although some say it is OK. Mine wouldn't even load BF3, much less play it.

I still currently use my HD4000 graphics and I can tell you exactly what it will play: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 @ 1080p Max settings, Diablo III @ 1080p Max settings(not saying much, but it does it) and Dishonored @ 1080p Max settings. I can also tell you that it will score a 6.5-6.7 on WEI depending on how much you OC it. Mine currently is 6.6/6.6. I don't know what it won't play yet, but I can tell you it struggles and dips below 30fps in a few spots while playing Dishonored. Remember, all of these games are being played at 1080p and Max settings just fine, if it didn't play them, I would already have a dedicated video card in here.

I should have prefaced this by saying while the HD4000 graphics surprised the hell out of me, I am running a 3570K with a decent OC.......so that will play a role in some games that are CPU intensive. And as always, YMMV.

I was just a sking for the equivalent

Some Compares

PassMark - Intel HD 4000 - Price performance comparison

Pedroc, I'm not sure. Kbrady said he got a 6.6 with an overclock. I have a 5770 that will get a 7.4 with no overclock. So, my guess would be something in the low 5000 or 6000 series.

 

[essenbe]

OK, Bob. Maybe I rated it too high.

Intel 4000

I am not a good judge of Intel's graphics because I have never ran it alone. I have a discrete card installed (Nvidia GeForce GTX 670) and I use LucidLogix Virtu MVP. Which supposedly switches back and forth according to load.



I know I play Assassins III with no problems and the card is rated 7.9 with Win 7.

 

[kbrady1979]

I just recently sold my HD 5770 and it scored a 7.4/7.5 on my system as well. I also don't think those tests accurately reflect what the HD4000 graphics will do, because according to everything I've read there is no way mine should run games as good as they do. I have no explanation for it either. I would agree it is equivalent to something in the HD 5000 series. In a flat out foot race, I would say it is close to a 5770, even though the WEI numbers are a full point lower.

 

[Pedroc1999]

Ok thank you

 

[kbrady1979]

What you have to remember is that depending on your system, there will be some games that it won't even turn on, and others that it will run wide open. It is, in NO way, a substitution for a dedicated graphics card for someone who is a real gamer. It only does what I need it to at the moment, and I see its limitations. What are you comparing it to?

 

[Pedroc1999]

I was just wondering

 

[essenbe]

KBrady, if you were referring to me, I have a 670. During my build, I had removed the card during bench testing, so thought just as a test I would try out the Intel graphics. It did fine for me, just would not even open BF3 though. I tried it several times with a 3770K, it just didn't have the horse power, I guess.

 

[kbrady1979]

What part are you referring to Essenbe? I think all of my posts were for pedro.

 

[essenbe]

OK, no problem, Kelly.

 

[kbrady1979]

OK, no problem, Kelly.

Sorry, I think I know what you were referring to and that was for Pedro. I was meaning that if his CPU doesn't have the ass to back up the graphics, he may have different results with the HD4000 graphics. And clearly, BF3 is out of range of the graphics, even with that beast of a CPU.

Sorry for the confusion buddy.

 

[essenbe]

No problem, and I agree with you 100%. I just wasn't sure whether you were addressing him or me. Not to worry, it would take a whole lot more than that to offend me. I have pretty thick skin.
