Therefore, the performance is clearly worse and only suited for low demanding gaming. It is the successor the the Intel HD Graphics 2000 in the Sandy Bridge CPUs and performs between the old HD 20 GPU.Ĭompared to the faster HD Graphics 4000, the HD Graphics features less Execution Units (6 versus 16) and only one texture sampler. The Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge) is an integrated graphics card in the mobile Ivy Bridge codenamed processors (Celeron and Pentium). Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge) ► remove from comparison Another novelty of the Sandy Bridge GPU is the embedded DisplayPort eDP to connect internal Displays.ĭue to the integration in the 32nm built CPU, the power consumption of the GPU should be quite low.
On the IDF Intel demonstrated the encoding of a 3 minute long 1080p video to an iPhone compatible format in 640x360 in only 14s. In addition to the GPU, the chip also houses some dedicated units for decoding and encoding HD videos. In the Unigine Valley benchmark a i7-2637M for example reached the same score with 2x AA and 4x AA. We could measure smooth frame rates in games like Dead Space 3, World of Tanks, Fifa 13, Torchlight 2, Counter-Strike: GO reach, Diablo 3, and many older games, though usually only in minimal detail settings. For accurate performance analysis and gaming benchmarks, read our article "Intel HD Graphics 3000" or scroll down in this article.Īltought 2x Antialiasing (AA) is supported, the chip is as fast as when rendering 4x AA. The quality of the Intel drivers has been improved over the years, so most games are flawlessly playable (if the minimum requirements are fullfilled). GeForce 310M) and AMD ( HD 5450). In comparison with AMD's APU models, the HD 3000 can only compete against the C-and E-series, but not the faster Llano and Trinity models. Our performance tests with the high clocked mainstream version of the HD Graphics 3000 in quad-core processors showed a performance level on par with older entry level generations from NVIDIA (e.g. OpenCL is not supported (the media SDK only uses the CPU). The EUs can be accessed using DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.0 and DirectCompute 4.1. The slower HD Graphics 2000 uses only 6 Execution Units. The HD 3000 offers 12 Execution Units (EUs) like the old Intel GMA HD but due to architectural changes each EU is now faster. Mainstream and high-end Dual und Quad-Core Core ix-2xx0 (base 650MHz, Turbo 1100-1300MHz).LV processors Core ix-2xx5 (base 500MHz, Turbo 1000MHz).ULV processors Core ix-2xx7 (base 350MHz, Turbo 900-1000MHz).The base speed and the turbo boost speed of the HD Graphics 3000 depend on the processor: Due to TurboBoost, the GPU can be overclocked depending on the current CPU load and power consumption. The Intel HD Graphics 3000 (or Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD 3000, GMA HD 3000, Intel HD Graphics 200) is an integrated graphics card in the Sandy Bridge codenamed processors. The HD Graphics 3000 has no dedicated memory but shares the Level 3 / LLC Cache with the CPU cores and also part of the main memory. Intel HD Graphics 3000 ► remove from comparison
Your driver is up to date - if you have a problem with your driver, you can try to re-install the old version as below.
*: 2K=Windows 2000, 2K3= Windows 2003, XP= Windows XP, VISTA = Windows Vista, WIN7 = Windows 7 Watch this video to see how it works - click here If your driver isn't working, use the driver having the same OEM with the your laptop/desktop brand name. If you are looking for an update, pickup the latest one. With the different devices, they can have the same driver, it's because they all use the same chip manufacturer.
Below is a list of drivers that may be suitable for your device.
