Futuremark has been trusted for years.

new game advisor.

let it scan your system than use search for GUILD WARS and it will tell you if it will work and roughly how well.

Factions is supposed to have the same or close to GW

A 6100 is the integrated solution from NvIDIA isn't it?

I can't help on this one. I don't know enough about NvIDIA's integrated graphics stuff.

6100 is a built in video card (PCIE)

u should be fine playing GW with this one.

I researched this as best I could, but there is little avaiable performance info on it.

From what I did find, the 6100 integrated offers about half the 3D performance of a Geforce 6200 video card. I know that doesn't directly answer your question, but if a 6200 is acceptabe, then a 6100 at least has a chance. If the 6200 is a dog in GW, then there's no way the 6100 will be any good.

The 6200 is somewhat decent in GW. Very decent if overclocked. But I just don't know if the 6100 could handle GW.

I know that a GeForce FX 5200 can run GW absolutely fine. A 6600GT can run GW with everything maxed out smoothly. A 6100 should be able to handle it.

Not hard to find the weakest link there, eh?

What upgrade options are available? Does it have a x16 PCI slot that you could drop a video card into? Unless you have a HUGE monitor and are gonna play at backbreaking resolutions, you can probably get a GW-suitable video card for under $100 quite easily.

It does have a PCI-E, but it would play GW comfortably without EVERY option turned on.

u not gonna have problems with 6100

I have a Compaq laptop with 64 MB video card (340 GO or something like that) and it plays fine with everything in the mid-low settings....with 6100 being its a PCIE...with everything mid-high...no problem

I have a PCI Express slot in my computer but there is also I believe a Radeon 9650 I think something like dat that is only 99 bucks at Best Buy he said it is awesome for W.O.W so I believe it should hande G.W. since he said Guild Wars graphics r a bit weaker than W.O.W's graphics.

Omega X · Apr 21, 2006, 07:57 PM // 19:57

I would say, update all drivers and get all Windows Updates including the DirectX9c April redist package from Microsoft.

Don't buy a video card at a store. Ugh. Go to www.newegg.com and get it for like half of what you'd pay at a store.
