Graphics have had to improve dramatically in this regard.Īs more users connect their systems directly to big screen HDTVs, connectivityĪlso becomes an issue. With high definition content becoming popular, even the most basic of systemsĪre expected to support HD playback right out of the box and thus integrated To exhibit music, pictures, and more and more frequently, television and movies. PC is more than just a computer - it’s a complete entertainment system used Yet, Intel is the biggest maker of intergated graphics cards in the world. They were meant for corporate applications where integrated graphics tend to dominate. Performing significantly worse than their competitor’s offerings. Have snickered at Intel’s so-called “Extreme Graphics.” Their graphicsĬhips have traditionally been weak, supporting fewer features and Intel branded boards are commonly known for their reliability, and unfortunately,įor their inferior integrated video subsystems. It’s on our test bench as we continue to seek out new boards with good integrated graphics and features suitable for home theater PCs. The DG33TL is a micro-ATX model equipped with the fairly recent G33 Express chipset in Intel’s media series of motherboards.
