The almighty devil, integrated video cards


These bastardized pieces of hardware are pure evil. Why would a company (INTEL YOU FUCKERS YOU SHOULD BURN!) do such a henous and evil thing to noobies and their foolish parents.

Discuss.

True, but you could burn the whole motherboard just to make a point.

Indeed. My brother has an AMD with integrated GeForce MX. He can't play crap because he's got an MX.

Can't you shove a better card in there to override it? Or disable it in the BIOS?

Yep... I went with a nForce2 mobo with an integrated GF4MX (ie... remarked GF2) for my server, but it has an AGP8x slot in it should I ever need to gut the machine and turn it into a gaming machine.

Audio is one area that onboard is better though... The nForce2 onboard audio is very unique. It is able to play MP3s without taking any CPU cycles. (if you're player has any visuals they will take a few, but using Winamp5 my CPU usage when playing MP3s is between 0 and 2%) In general it also has the lowest CPU usage of any other sound card, including the super expensive Audigy Platinum.

No, integrated video cards are not the devil. Integrated fucking AGP is the devil.


What the fuck useful is an Advanced Graphics PORT if there is no FSCKING PORT?!
*shakes fist at eMachines*

Yea i agree peace, they need to be killed and go to hell, i was looking to buy a new cp and whenever i found a decently priced cp, it had intergrated, i mean god damn, is it that hard to give me at least a GF3?!?!? Anyways, i found a really good priced (545$) that comes with a free 200$monitor, amd 2800, integrated graphic card unfortunatly but i got good one with spare cash, 512ram, 120GB hard drive, and i have no clue what the sound card is but it doesnt really make much of a difference to me. I also got kicked off my bus the other day so my parents arent giving it to me until i sort it out with them and they arent home very often so thats y im not on planetside 24/7

they do it so that when your graphics card becomes obsolete, you have to buy an entirely new machine from them to replace it.

Especially when you help out your friends telling them why they cant play BF1942 and its the same story every time "Intel Integrated" and then they dont have an AGP slot so they get a PCI Geforce 2 ask me to install it, he had a 400 shitty gateway with a half tower so we had to take a powersaw to the case, then we still had to take off the metal bracket in the card. The case is warped so he has to stick a pencil into his computer to reach the power button, and he has half a PCI card sticking out of his case. Then we spent 4 hours chaing the video off Integrated Bus onto on the PCI Bus then we installed nvidia drivers but the old Intel Drivers fucked it up.

Intel.Die.

Everyone that has integrated graphics should pry the NorthBridge out of thier Mobo and melt it.

Then go buy parts and make a decent computer
