Yes, I know it's integrated but it's pretty high end integrated and the rig itself is meant for gaming on a cheaper system where you don't need to buy an add. card. Anyway, anyone have this and getting through?
I'm really not much of a hardware geek so off the top of my head I couldn't tell you, but this is a pretty good site that'll tell you what you can run.
Aye I'm sure it could run it technically speaking, but Darkfall seems to flat out refuse specific cards, so really was wondering if anyone tried this specific card and had some success.
Nice, the CPU is an AMD Quad and 4GB of RAM. Just hoping it doesn't say "This video card is not supported" like my (shittier) integrated card on my intel laptop.
Where people will have problems will most likely be centered around the Intel IGPU's. Most of the newer integrated chipsets manufactered by ATI and Nvidia actually run nicely.
That's a fairly low end card. Anything Integrated=red flag for gamer. If you provided a dxdiag maybe we cvould help
Wow you need some computer classes there buddy, stop giving people advice. This card is not low end and Ive seen people play crysis on this card "integrated". Check youtube. The cards fine you can play pretty much anything out today on it and its only a couple of years old. The problem with having an integrated card is its ram dependence. Remember its going to take up 256 megs of ram from you, and it sounds like youve got ddr2 ram. So instead of having a video card with ddr3 its ddr2. It also doesnt use your amd core, another person on this thread who needs computer classes. I love how everyones an expert.
The card uses its own proc, in the bios for those boards you can OC these babies too if you got some good cooling on the board and want a lil more preformance. If you got the AMD phenom quad, like my 2.5ghz it OC's to 3.1. I dont recomend OC'ing unless youve been playing with computers for atleast a decade. People fry stuff. Anyhow since I used to own some of your hardware figured Id give you the heads up. Also install a 64 bit OS, XP 64, or the memory addressing will steal like 500 megs of your ram from you. Contrary to newb belief PAE does not return it and just slows your comp down. If you dont know what Im talking about just do what I said

Generally speaking, integrated chipsets aren't great for gaming., There aren't any that are as good as dedicatd graphics cards from the same generation. That being said, the HD3200 isn't horrible, but it's not great, either. Here's a review of it with benchmarks comparing it to some dedicated cards. As you can see, it's performance is on par, but the comparison cards are older technology, too:
For the sake of knowledge, i ended up trying this card out and it worked, got to the char. screen, etc. However the char screen, on default settings lagged like a bitch. This could however be many reasons from drivers to res tweaking to the default settings in game being relatively high, etc. So just passing the info along.
That's unfortunate, but not super surprising, unfortunately. Sorry about that, quarrel. Based on the benchmarks, I compared my graphics card (Nvidia GO 7900GS 256MB) to one of the comparable cards listed in the table (NVidia GO 6600) and my 2+ year old card was substantially better. If I'm having trouble running newer games at higher settings, then I really don't think the HD3200 is going to run them very well.

Darkfall isn't added to the list yet, but for future references there you go

Shouldn't be a problem for you as far as you graphics capabilities. Even though it is integrated.
Main concern would be your CPU and amount of ram.
