Well it's an IGPU. You could do some basic gaming on it if you dont have high expectations, but I wouldn't recommend it as the low framerates are quite a frustrating experience.

If you are living in 2005, its a nice graphs card. If you're living in a more recent date then break it and throw it into your trash bin. My microwave can run games smoother than this

This piece of sht is slow af, it can only run PS3/Xbox 360 era games on low-mid setting at low resolutions, but the sht is consistent, it never gives compatibility issues and drivers get updated, so, for COD4 or CSsource types of games, basic CAD, basic video and image editing and general use, it is reliable

For Intel HD, and because I used it for years, this is actually pretty good for what it is
