Topic: Integrated HD 3000 Intel Graphics work with videos.

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have used with quite some success with videos and several effects running at one time an older dell 6000 with the standard integrated graphics that came with it ( 128 mb), and not sure why it has even worked at all with videos/effects. I can't remember the last time I had so much as a video freeze with this laptop!

So my question is: Has anyone on here had any luck with the HD Intel 3000 integrated graphics that are included with many of the newer Dell i5 and i7's ( Dell Inspiron 15s XPS, 15r, etc.)?

Registry tool, videomemmaxuse to 16.

Retest, if still no joy then registry tool and select videoyv12bug too, then retest.

One of those two combos should work - but remember the HD3000 is not a substitute for a proper graphics card.
 
I agree Scott, and probably will end up getting an i5 with a 1. Gb nvidea, but I still read problems with thse higher end ones too, make you wonder? I mean I'd hate to order one then NOT get the videos with effects as I do now!
 
I use a GTX560M which works fine :)
 
I bet it works great. Was using a intel gm965 and some newer models, worked better than the nvidia 8400 that I had but used more processor. I do always get the nvidia card with all my laptops but it always takes a mon or 2 to get all the bugs worked out, like dpc and audio popping and crashes. Intel works right out of the box, just uses more CPU.

Thanks,

Are there any other opinions as to whether I should lean towards a dedicated ATI (AMD) video card instead on nVidea (which I have read about many past issues on here), or is there any difference in current performances between the two.

I am getting ready to buy a Dell laptop (6 gB RAM) i5 with either the nvidea GTX525M 1 gB video RAM; or an AMD Ratheon 512 mB video ram (Dual). My goal is to get videos working flawlessly with several effects going at a time as they do now w/o any freezes or crashes, that's all. Looking for that "last minute advice" from any of you, please.
 
Any more helpful opinions offered before i buy??
Thanx in advance.

C'mon, anybody up for some advice?
 
 
Seems like a great deal for the price! Couple of questions; 1). What does the (dual) mean on the video card?
And, 2), is it possible to order this same laptop with an 8 gB Ram? How do I go about doing that, please?
Thank you,
Bryant
 
Looks like at the price it's pre-configured with the memory, 6G should be plenty though. Maybe someone else knows what the dual is for the video card, or google it. Sent you an answer to your prvt message, let me know if you got it.
 
Alright, here is what I ended up doing:

Got an XPS 15z. It contains an NVidea GT525M 1 gB vid card.
It has 8 gB ram. 750 gB 7200 rpm HD.

It was only $150 more than the Inspiron 15r.

Can anyone tell me if they have noticed big differences between the 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm?

What any of you on here using for the old TV hook-ups from there mini display port or from the HDMI ports?
I'm sure I'll figure it out when it arrives, but does anyone know the "native resolution" of the xps 15z?
 
I have a 3GB GDDR5 Nvidia Geforce GTX560M on my Asus laptop and it works great. and my past 2 laptops prior to this also came equipped with Nvidia cards and I never hard a problem with them. I thought I ready somewhere that the ATI cards had some memory leak issue due to faulty drives.

Yes I do notice, I hate the 5400 rpms specially when I'm transferring large amount of information. While 7200 rpm hard drives are an improvement I would highly suggest a sold state hard drive.

 
Someone in here reported to me, however, that he did have an xps 17 with a solid state for operating system and internal HD for other programs, but he was still having as much trouble as before with VDJ skins freezing in spots while searching for songs in VDJ search???

Any comments as to why this might be happening to him?
 
That's not easy without knowing about the rest of the configuration of his laptop. But SSD's are mostly sold as small HDD-replacements (120 or 240 GB) and not big enough to hold your library. A SSD won't speed up your external HDD and it won't let your graphics card run any faster. So a SSD will start your PC a lot faster (not needed so far but a big advantage if you have to reboot for some reason) and program-access does improve. But it won't speed up a poorly optimized PC.

(Why does he have his programs on the internal HDD? That's not the best solution. The only thing he should have transfered is his virtual memory to the HDD.)
 
I think he told me his operating system was on the SSD and his songs were on the other internal SATA HD.
