Hello Fellow Civ Fans,
I am currently looking at picking up a HP laptop computer. I am looking at the i7 Core Chip and it has 8 gigs Ram with 1tb hard drive. I am not worried about the above but what is new to me is that rather than a Radeon or AMD or NVidia video card / chip the laptop comes with Intel's HD Graphics 3000.
I currently have a ATI Radeon HD 4600 for graphics with a i7 chip...2 years old. I am primarily only a Civ IV and Civ V game player want to know from the hard core Civ Fans how does the Intel HD 3000 would compare or if anyone has this with their pc or laptop and how does it far with other video cards etc. I have been told in the past when posting similar questions that Civ does not take up or use a whole lot of video? or demands a lot from the computer to operate at high intense levels. If that makes any sense?
Any Pro or Con feedback would be great.
Thanks
