For installation new version Drivers You can use Intel settings or manually download the updated mounting package from the official site.įor Linux, there is no driver from the manufacturer, instead it uses a free solution, walking together with the Mesa3D libraries.
Driver updates will also not cause problems, everything is intuitive. If Intel has tried to correct the situation for the latest HD Graphics versions, then this video card has already forgotten.Īlthough the driver is installed very simple, it is enough to go to the Intel website and download the necessary software. There is not enough high-quality driver - the reason for which a small part of the old games on this video card refuses to work. But here there are some exceptions that work perfectly on weaker and old discrete solutions, but refuse to start normally on Intel HD Graphics. With old games, the situation is significantly better, most of them will start and will work without problems. Very few games will go to Intel HD Graphics 3000 because of the lack of support for modern APIs and weak performance. If we are talking exclusively about the novelties of the gaming industry, then you can completely forget about it. Partially replaced acceleration can Turbo Boost technology, although it is not worth it to these hopes, it will not give an impressive increase in performance. More you can not even count, such chips discrete video cardsHow acceleration is completely absent here. Working with office applications, using a computer to access the Internet, view HD / FullHD video, movies or cartoons, basic work With graphics or mounting applications, the launch of old games is approximately the entire list of what can Intel HD Graphics 3000. What tasks will such a video card cope with? Although the possibilities of integrated graphics are not enough for a full-fledged video editing. In terms of installation opportunities and work with graphics, too, everything is bad, the support of CUDA or OpenCL is not here, it remains to be content with only the presence of Quick Sync, and this decoder is not supported by all programs. Currently, the API data is hopelessly outdated. The tire bit is 64 bits, which is incredibly small.Īccording to the supported API, everything is sad enough, you can use DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 (only OpenGL 3.1 is supported in Windows). This is a weak point of all integrated solutions, Intel HD Graphics 3000 has not exceeded. The speed of the video card depends on the frequency and timings of the RAM operators used on the computer. How much exactly will be given random access memory under the needs of the graphics adapter depends on bIOS settings, but too big volume It will not work out, no matter how you wanted it. The amount of memory depends on the RAM selected for the graphics core, because the integrated video cards do not have their own video memory. HD Graphics 3000 is equipped with good quantities. The maximum operating frequency of the video adapter reaches the mark in 1350MHz (the real value depends on the processor, in a pair with a graphic chip). But in general, the chip is still not distinguished by anything special. The characteristics of HD Graphics 3000 are somewhat higher than at its most younger fellow (HD Graphics 2000), although not much. Basically, this graphic chip is embedded in senior models Intel Core I3, Core i5 and Core I7 generation Sandy Bridge (second generation Intel Core I).
