How good or bad is the 'Intel HD Graphics 3000' video card?

Compared to something like a '1GB nVidia GeForce GT525M' Video Card for instance.

Would it be good enough to play games on a laptop...|||The thing is, the "Intel HD Graphics 3000" isn't a real graphics card. It doesn't have any memory of its own and instead takes some of your system's ram and tries to redirect to graphics. This is a bit oversimplified, but cause of that it can never be as good as something like this '1GB nVidia GeForce GT525M' - which comes with "1 GB" of it's own memory. In fact, I wouldn't get that thing expecting to play any games (anything 3d) at all.



As for ranking them, these are really good guides. (make sure you scroll down):

the nVidia one - http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeFo…|||intel graphics are absolutely AWFUL, the gt525m is far better, but don't play games on a laptop, gaming or laptop, pick ONE|||Yes, HD 3000 is a very good iGPU and can play most games on it, even many latest games too. But surely its not as good as GT-525M.|||the answer is NOOOOO



intel graphics are mediocre at best. a 1 GB GT525m would blow the HD3000 out of the freakin water.
