The Intel 965 Chip mentioned is not a good performer in any event. It was their first hardware T&L chip and even the older 945 was up to twice as fast.

Laugh. I love it when people dump on Intel's GPUs, which have traditionally been awful with OpenGL.

There was some good press about their last chip though, and Nvidia started doing funny things with their chipset names.. basically, trying to confuse people between it's i386 chipset and on-board dedicated GPUs AFAICS.

Does anyone have the run down on the latest budget GPUs, with the focus on 3D graphics.

On a simliar note... I recently bought a new socket-478 P4R800-VM board off ebay. Linux OpenGL support for the onboard Radeon 9100 IGP seems broke, but geez it has nice picture quality..

The Mobile Intel 4 series (which I guess would be in a lot of laptops bought this year) seems reasonable and has a strong and full feature set. I haven't tested it well with OpenGL, but it's D3D performance is quite good.

I saw some Crysis low-setting benches for budget C2D notebooks. Those with a 4500MHD (is this the Mobile Intel 4 series?) GPU only manages 5fps, while the only ATI chip managed 50fps. I found this quote too (wikipedia)

In a review published in May 2008, the GMA X4500 showed a superior game performance to the lowest-end 1-year-older GeForce 8400M graphics card, while losing to the still low-end GeForce 8400M GS with a slower CPU.

I have a hunch the 8400M is not even a separate GPU, while the 8400M GS is. Frankly, i'm too over it to research it properly. This industry inspired confusion just p**** me off.
