Intel Extreme Graphics 3 better or not?

Thread Starter 
Well all the new sentia has me wondering about the Intel Extreme Graphics 3 they are putting in it. From what Ive heard to compares to anGeForce FX 5600 XT or ATI's Radeon 9600 SE. Now dont get me wrong, those are still bad, but for low settings it should be fine right? Now my question is, has anyone seen the reviews on the type of fps this thing is getting? If so, do they offer more quality then the old Intel Extreme Graphics 2?

My recomendation stay away, while ok for most usual tasks gaming is barely available and not well supported, if u need grfx get a nv or ati chip for sure!!!

I know that World of Warcraft supports the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 chipset, although I haven't attempted installing or running WoW on my IEG3 m3200.

Out of curiosity, I did try and run the social MMO "There" on the m3200 and it worked well. However, it's not nearly as graphically intensive as most games. I'd definitely agree with archalien...if you're wanting to game, the Sentia probably isn't the hardware to do it on.

What are you wanting to use the lappy for? If your wanting portability and are going to play older games and some MMORPG games, then the Sentia will be fine. I think a few ppl around here play Source with it.

i wish i had gotten the m51 cause the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 sucks......i have to use 3d analzye to get games to run decently enough that they work. Noticed it seems to hender overall system performance as well (or atleast in my case)
