Thread: Is Intel GMA 4500M high-quality for gaming

My planning is to buy new graphics card for my PC. I play many games like CSS, COD4, etc. My friend suggest me Intel GMA 4500M is good for gaming. Please tell me Intel GMA 4500M is good for gaming or not? All possible replies and comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Intel GMA 4500 Features:

• Graphics Media Accelerator: GMA X4500HD

• Full HW Acceleration MPEG2 Video Decode: Yes

• Full HW Acceleration VC1 Decode: Yes

• Full HW Acceleration AVC Decode: Yes

• HD Security PAVP/HDCP: Yes

• Hi-Def resolutions: 1080p/i, 720p

• DirectX Support: DX 10

• OpenGL Support: 2.0

• Intel Clear Video Technology: Yes

• HD Post Processing features: Yes

According to me you can go through with Intel GMA 4500M. If you would like set the power management by going to graphics properties.

• Click on "Power Management" button.

• Set the dial to "Power savings disabled".

• Also try setting the Driver Memory Footprint option to "High".

This can help to raise ur graphics performance.
