EPTBut you shouldn't have the same framerate for different CPU settings... O.o if I'm understanding that properly. That doesn't make any sense.
Edit: Physics is CPU. Haha

I would not be suprised if both the laptop and the desktop were CPU capped, and the integrated GPU was not being maxed (and not the bottleneck of benchmark) for an early game FPS snapshot Not true. GPU usage goes to 90% on lowest for me on either HD3000 or Nvidia 540m. | ||

If the quality of your experience is unacceptable to you (it will not be, me thinks), then buy a graphics card after you find out you're unhappy without it. did you even read the OP? literally the first sentence "i plan on buying an ultrabook" | ||

Solution isn't very simple, because now i am buying PC with SSD and GPU in the future (after few months), or PC with GPU, but without SSD Thanks for your answers. | ||

Just want to save those $100 for better GPU in the near future Unless you're talking about a better GPU for your desktop, there really isn't a near future for laptops. I had the remorse of buying a laptop without a dedicated gpu, thinking I could save up and would be able to tolerate games on low settings. But once I built a desktop, I was pretty glad I had bought that laptop for $100 less because I'm usually on my desktop nowadays. So unless you're either thinking about buying a GPU for your desktop in the near future, spend some more on a laptop gpu. It really doesn't have to be good. A low end dedicated gpu nowadays is much much better than an integrated gpu. ehh i got confused. i thought sirex was the op..o well | ||

Is a produkt with: + 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 6MB L3 cache + 4GB (two 2GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 memory, configurable to 8GB or 16GB. + Intel HD Graphics 4000. able to run it so i can play with "fun"? I am not really into games, only sc2 (cause its sports). Would you buy such thing??? Thx 4 you commend pce | ||

Thx 4 you commend pce Framerate: number of frames (still pictures) rendered per second and sent to your screen for display. 20ish and below frames per second displayed on your computer starts to look very choppy and makes for an unpleasant experience. 60 frames per second is the maximum most monitors can display. For SC2, everything in between in generally acceptable in the real world, although this varies quite a bit per person (many people have better eyesight than me = notice a big difference between say 30fps & 50fps = are unhappy with a level of performance I find fine). CPU: Compter Processing Unit, Compute Processing Unit, something like that. The main processor in your computer that does most of the fancy calculations. A better processor generally means a faster or more powerful computer. This is the main part of your computer that determines how well SC2 will run. So "SC2 is CPU-dependent" means the relative strength of your CPU matters a lot more than the relative strength of your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). TL;DR, that setup will be fine. | ||
