Intel: Our graphics silicon is gaining in gaming

Any gamer worth her salt is quick to decry gaming on Intel graphics silicon. But wait. The platform is taking off, according to Intel.

"So you want to know what's so compelling about making sure your game runs on Intel integrated graphics?" Aaron Davies, a senior marketing manager in the Intel Visual Computing Software Development group, asked in a video on the Intel Software Network Web page. "Here's your answer: Mercury Research showed that in 2008, for the first time, integrated graphics chipsets outsold discrete (graphics chips), and in 2013, we expect to see integrated graphics chipsets outsell discrete by three to one," Davies said.

most retail pcs nowadays come with an integrated card, even laptops. My 2005 pc came with an integrated x200. Doesnt mean I didnt want to upgrade, or that my x200 could run games that great.

All I think this is pointing out is that pc makers are adding integrated gpu cause its cheap and its effective for most consumers. And nowadays pcs have alot more ram for the integrated card to use.

I think that they are finally starting to be able to use integrated grx in sli with a new card. Not sure if they are, but I always wondered about the possibilities as I have a x200 and a x800 in my comp(not that they go together).

Helldivers 2 Players Now Move To Fix Game's Reputation On Steam After Sony's U-Turn

Helldivers 2 will no longer require a mandatory PSN log-in on Steam, confirms PlayStation after a major protest by the community.

That's good the players are now correcting those reviews.

So basically they're removing and correcting their fake negative review scores 😂.

How was it a fake negative? They didnt want the psn account, they listened, so the negative review is no longer valid and they're reverting.

@meteorpanda

They shouldn't have bought the game in the first place then, it was always a requirement from day one, it was even on the steam page for the game on day one, funny how a free psn account is too far but origin app needed or ubisoft app needed is all fine, even gamepass that needs an xbox account and also an origin account to use all the games is fine 🙄

What about the regions that can't create PSN accounts? The game was being sold there, people were playing the game from there and suddenly they would have lost the ability to play the game.

Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned.

Yet we can't stop loot boxes or other apps being needed , like origin and ubisoft .....

The reviews are worthless this move proves it. The actual game remains unchanged. Sony is going to regret giving these pc dummies this amount of sway over their releases on pc.

Aphrodia8m ago(Edited 8m ago)

And just how are they going to regret it? By pc gamers rewarding Sony with more sales? You know that the majority of sales are coming from PC don't you? I also wish that gamers didn't have to resort to backlash but Sony needs to stop being so freaking ignorant and arrogant to the point of believing they are above ridicule. Did you forget how anti consumer blunders helped sink the xbox brand with xbox one, and has still not recovered from? People like you can't even see that backlash isn't just about gamers getting what they want it also helps companies from getting completely out of touch and up their own asses to the point of consumers ditching the brand.
