I am getting ready to buy a laptop and have a budget of around £500. I want to know if anybody knows if guid wars will run smoothly on integrated graphics cards.
The two that i am most likely to get are the Nvidia Geforce 7150m, or the Ati radeon x1200. the laptop will have 2gb of ram and dual processors, and have a processor speed of around 1.9ghz.
Any help will be appreciated

You'll have to set everything to low-med, but it will run.

If your options are between Integrated Intel video and a Geforce 8400M, definitely go for the 8400M.

In theory Guild Wars can run on integrated "video solutions," but judging by the number of people running them who post about crazy video errors and crashes, I wouldn't want to take my chances.

To put it as simply as possible, the 8400M is supported by Anet, integrated video hardware isn't.

Yeah it will run perfectly fine on the 8400.

Thanks for replying. i got my laptop today and ended up getting the Geforce 7150m. I have most settings on medium and texture on high and it runs fine. a few small jumps every so often but other than that no problems whatsoever. thanks for the help
