GPUZ
Intel's integrated graphics chip supports DirectX 10 features so it would be kind of useless to test DirectX 11 games like Dirt2 or DirectX 10.1 games like Tom Clancy's HAWX. To test performance of the integrated GMA HD graphics I used Crysis, Left 4 Dead 2, and Unreal Tournament 3 to represent typical games people can play today. The frame rate even at 1024x768 was unplayable on Crysis and marginally playable in UT3. Left4 Dead was playable on the integrated graphics.
