Will This Video Card Work?

ATI RADEON® Xpress1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (Integrated)
Yepyep.
Yes/No. D

Maybe. But poorly if it does work at all.

Bleh, well, what kind would I need for it to function properly?

Yes, it'll work.. if you don't mind playing at the lowest settings and resolution and still getting framerates below 15-20 FPS whenever you aren't looking straight down. Probably nearly unplayable (and certainly unenjoyable) in large fights and the new GW:EN areas.

I played with an Xpress200 a while ago with 15-20 FPS. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that great either.

Nahhh, it would work okay. No extremely high graphics, and likely no DX9 shaders without serious lag, but it would work. But I must ask, why use crappy integrated hardware with the prices what they at newegg.com?

Edit: Nevermind. If you need laptop graphics, just get what you can afford. :/

You will prob. get graphic errors in some areas of NF & GWEN...

It will get you by, nothing more.

What price range are you looking at? Are you building a computer or are you buying an aftermarket PC?

that card will work. it's faster than my intel GMA910 on my old computer, and my old computer can play GW well enough if i turn down the graphics.

but yes, that card will just get you by, nothing more.

I'm limited to a laptop.
Name me a video card that is cheap (not like, 38572394562394569$), and that can run guild wars on highest quality without lag.
(Do processors affect game speed?)

everything affects gaming speed.

unfortunately, a laptop gfx card that can run GW at highest quality is never cheap. a geforce 8600GT or 7600GT will be able to do it. no idea how much they go for exactly, but you're looking at a $150 upgrade at least.

Well, the minimum price.
Full name is most appreciated

(Here are the parts for the laptop I'm gonna get, recommend any changes possible. If possible.)

Umm, no?

Umm, yes.

I just need to know the video card, not a completely different laptop ><

ye it will work but its not gonna be tht great.

I decided to change to HP, so will this video card work?
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

it will work better than what you had before. however, it will NOT run GW at maximum settings. i have the same card. if i try to run everything at max, the game goes to 20 fps. if you want to settle for something that's not maximum, then it will work.

Well, tell me what the best one is for GW (and price :x)
Like, the current one I have right now, can it run GW with High Textures without lagging?

Yes. Not as much as a video card, though. The processor is only a bigger factor when you already have a beefy graphics card and your current processor is slow enough to cause a bottleneck.

In most games, the processor functions by doing the heavy mathematical calculations involved in in-game physics (which GW has virtually none of) and by allocating data from hard disks, to RAM, to the video card, etc which are relatively light duties compared to what's going on at your video card.

The 8400M is still pretty light I think, but running high textures isn't a huge deal so long as you have around 128MB of VRAM. A better test of a video card's performance is anti-aliasing (which smooths out pixelization around rendered objects). For most people, the largest performance drop is bumping AA from none to 2x or 4x.
