Intel Gma 4500mhd Dynamic Video Memory Technology

List of Games tested on GMA 4500MHD, testing done by me (olio), contains also links to the instructions for playing on 4500M(HD) or any other laptop. Every game is played on optimal options. Oliosan No, there is no USB graphics card. But you can connect any graphics card to laptop using PCIe to ExpressCard (or PCMCIA) However problem is that ExpressCard and PCMCIA ports with PCIe adapter can transfer only PCIe x1 link, normal PCIe in PC has x16!!! But you still can get better performance, graphics card would be running at aprox. 60% of maximum power.

1. Intel Gma 4500m Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 Driver

The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M (GMA 4500M) (sometimes also called GMA X4500 M) is a DirectX 10 capable integrated shared memory graphic card for laptops. The mGPU is integrated in the.

Thats actually not bad:) And also graphics card must be connected to external monitor! - you can see here how to connect http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/graphics-cards/how-to-make-an-external-laptop-graphics-adaptor-915616. Oliosan I don't think it can be connected over USB, usb is even slower than connecting through express card. Does your laptop have PCMCIA?

Usually newer have express card and older PCMCIA There are 3 methods that I can think of: // 1. Method // If it has PCMCIA, than you can get PCMCIA to Express card adapter, and buy this and connect everything. PCMCIA Express Card PCIe adapter Graphic card (you get express card and adapter in package together, it's PE4H-EC2C) // 2. Method // buy usb to express card adapter, and buy PE4H-EC2C, just connect everything (easiest one) // 3. Method // use PE4H-PM3N package (with adaptor to miniPCe) and connect it to mPCIe This connects to mPCIe adapter where your wireless card is, you cannot use wireless while using graphics card (I don't like this one, but in this case you don't need extra adapters) PCMCIA to Express card adapter is around 15-20$ USB to Express card adapter is around 8-18$ PE4H adapter is 91$ I think that in the end is to much expensive to get graphics card to laptop. Method is cheapest, only buy PE4H-PM3N package for 91$ and connect.

Oliosan I usually test games that I like or want to play and I test very slowly. I didn't test any of that games, but Diablo 3 beta was running but lagging and there was unsupported graphic card error (there are instructions how to get around this error), usually demos run slower than finished game. I don't think I will ever test diablo 3, and I don't know anyone who tested final game.

Max Payne 3 runs, should be 7-28 FPS, but I don't know is it smooth enough to play through whole game, maybe I test it, we'll see Resident evil 6 is not out yet, It runs on MT Framework 2.0 Engine, GMA4500 could run great MT Framework 1.0 and runs good some games 2.0.marvel vs capcom and lost planet 2 So I give it a big chance that it will run playable!!, but ofcourse first test needed:) Brink, if you think game from last year?, In win7 it doesn't run, some report that it works under linux but didn't see proof. But that game is bad, very crappy, just looks spectacular (my opinion) But talking about 'will it run' without any testing is mostly just guessing:( I could talk about more games from e3, Far Cry 3, runs on Dunia Engine 2, I think there are very small chances that this will run. Oliosan GMABooster could overclock GMA 9XX because they were downclocked by default, so someone found out that it is downclocked and just using registry raised it to original clock.

4500 is not downclocked and there is no way to overclock it directly, like most integrated GPU. You can maybe overclock FSB, and it should affect 4500 (Integrated GPU).

But overclocking laptop is tricky because, as you mentioned, temperature. They just can't take too much heat, and need good cooling. Also mostly it involves hardware (very simple) modification (usually just short circuit something) to overclock laptop. Search internet for FSB overclock for your laptop model, maybe it is easy!!!

When overclocking laptop it is safe to overclock 10-20%, everything more needs good cooling and could be unstable. With overclocking only 20% you could maybe get a little speed and maybe 2-3 FPS, I don't think it pays off. Oliosan Battlefield 3 - I won't test it because it can't work on 4500 Batman Arkham City - I tested it, gonna put it on site tomorrow Max Payne 3 - probably won't test it, but works a little slowish but works Mass Effect 3 - also won't test it, but runs with configuration file Crysis 2 - I am testing it, it's pain in the ass. Many settings Saints Row 2 & 3 - soon testing! I also tested some newer games, just I usually don't put them right away on website. 2 in one week usually.

I like gaming and know a lot about games (not bragging), but I like older games more, so I am not fast at testing newer ones. I spend more time playing metroid and castlevania than playing new games. I didn't get time to test it, didn't even install it yet. So I really don't know when I am going to test it.

Suddenly I don't have time to test anything (school, job, life), I usually test 2-3 games in a week, but now can't get time to test 1 game. So sorry, I don't really know when I am going to test it.

But my opinion on 'can game run better', I think it can't.I saw some gameplay videos and info about running on GMA4500. That is old engine and they just pumped it with new options, so it really is not well optimized. ChAoS GTA IV EFLC works great with tweaks using config files and 640x480 resolution. Tweaks make the textures that are far away from you load when you get close to them so you'll have to deal with invisible roads if you drive too fast. And also it makes the pedestrians less (you have to have the latest graphics drivers or you won't be able to launch it).

Walking Dead Season 1 works fine with everything turned down to lowest settings (I played with texture settings on high). I even turned the shadows on. It gave me minor lags but it's bearable. Season 2 is different because the minimum screen resolution is 1024x768. Sleeping Dogs works with lags but it's bearable. Lowest settings of course.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 works pretty good without any tweaking. Just lower the resolution and texture quality.

I've played it with shadows on medium and motion blur on. Assassin's Creed III runs (sort of like slow-mo when indoors and having the camera pointed a bit lower in open areas) lags a lot sometimes but you can play it if you really wanna. I've tried running Assassin's Creed IV but it ain't playable (not just giant lags but red stripes are all over the place).

I played all these games without using the modded drivers. Hope it helps.

Overall, the Intel GMA 3100 has poor performance. This is not altogether surprising, as it is an integrated GPU. If a robust graphical system is desired, a dedicated graphics card upgrade is a must, though you can get away with an integrated GPU for less intensive applications and games. This integrated GPU is now over 11 years old, which means it is extremely out of date and is based on very aged technologies.

This integrated GPU will be dwarfed in performance by its modern counterparts, and will likely have very little driver support from Intel. With an effective SPU count of 51, the Intel GMA 3100 processes shading and special graphical effects fairly poorly.

The GPU is not too power-hungry at 17 Watts, however.
