No Intel gma 3100 does not support pixel shader 3.0
No. No support for either Dx10, nor Dx11.
No, DX11 is 4op., dx7 is 6op. Completely different FM chimp.
By graphics do you mean certain settings? Like for example distant imposters not working or do you mean the DX10/DX11 graphic settings? If you mean the DX10/DX11 settings then you will need a better graphics card
Tobuscus uses Turtle Beach EarForce DX11.
Generally the 320M should outperform the HD 5470. Neither can play the more demanding games on anything else than maybe low to medium graphic settings. The only major advantage of the HD 5470 would be it's DX11 support (vs 10.1 on the 320M), which still isn't such a big deal since it probably won't be able to play DX11 games on a level of detail where it would mater. In short, both can be used to play lighter games as well as high definition video and Internet browsing.
I'm assuming you're talking about a desktop computer. If not, my apologies... A PC with all of that, and a decent graphics card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti at around $100 USD... Can be lower than that obviously) Comes in at around $450, that is if you build it. Otherwise, buying a prebuilt desktop would be a lot more expensive, maybe at around $600 (rough estimate).
99 out of 100 times ( unless your using a sandy bridge or an APU processor ) a discreet ( spereate ) video card will provide more frames per second, FPS, than any on board graphics could ever dream of offering. Even a $40 graphics card will show any on board video who's boss. DX11 ( directX 11 ) support currently isn't availible in on board video chip sets as well. The most popular games, BF3, MW2 and 3, Civ 5, RAGE, etc... all require directX 10 or 11 support to function. Many people will get a cheap $30 graphics card because they don't care about grpahics, they just want DirectX support for their games.
Depends. the long answer: what kind of budget constraints are you in? The gts 450 is a lot of bang for the buck, but so are other, slightly more expansive graphics cards. If you REALLY need to stay below 150 bucks, you can't do much better, but for only 30 dollars or so more, you can get a gtx 460 768mb version which is a much better card. what resolution are you playing at and what games are you planning on playing? if it is anything around 1080p and you are planning on wanting to play games like metro 2033 with DX11 on anything above low, then you'd need a stronger card. the short answer: Yes, but definitely not the best.
Both Dell and Acer are good computers for gamers without much $, compared to Alienware or Asus. When looking for a decent gaming computer look for a dual core with about 3.0 GHz (gigahertz). These will not be as expensive as a quad but have enough clock speed to do the job. The processor is the brains of the computer and processes the info. 2.2GHz quad core BAD for gaming: low clock speed, will bottleneck the GPU 3.4GHz dual core GOOD for gaming: high clock speed, will not bottleneck the GPU 2.5GHz dual core BAD for gaming: low clock speed, will bottleneck the GPU 3.0GHz quad core GOOD for gaming: high clock speed, will not bottleneck the GPU 3.1GHz single core: Neither good nor bad, should keep up with most GPUs on most games Just about all the high clock speed Intel quads are way overpriced, at the moment. You will also want to look for a good graphics card. These are the muscle of the computer, it really is just another core/brain/CPU, but all it does is work of the display of the game. The more money you put into this, the better it will perform. Now, your upgrade options are limited because like all brand name machines, your Dell has a fairly weak factory power supply which cannot support $100 and higher graphics cards. Your factory power supply is 300 watts, and gaming cards in the $100-$120 range require a 400-450 watt power supply. So: 1) Spend about $150 total for a new power supply, in addition to a new graphics card. 2) Spend $75 for a GeForce GT440, the best graphics card that only requires 300 watts. The older GT240 has identical performance but doesn't support DX11. Or just look for a computer that has a nVidia, or Radeon built in. The last thing to look for is a large physical memory in you computer, or (RAM). The more you have the faster the initial loading speed is for your computer is. Now, not knowing what your playing, from Minecraft to battlefield 3, I will not shoot you suggestions, but keep in mind to look for, core processor, graphics card, and RAM, using the above, you should be able to find a computer (desktop or laptop) that fits your specific needs. Also a larger battery, good antivirus, and firewall are good. Viruses and malware will render everything pointless and will damage your computer.
Well you would have to go a little more in depth on this one. Such as what type of ram are you using? DDR, DDR1, DDR2, DDR3, etc. Although it doesnt matter much it would help evaluate as to what type of video card I would suggest. For the sake of the average PC user I would say your probably using DDR2. Anyway first check to see what type of video slot you use. Most likely pci I would assume but make sure to get the correct card for your slot type. An awesome card I would recommend is the radeon HD4890 or the new ATI Radeon5770. Both cost around a mid-budget price of $150-$200. Both cards will give you incrediple HD resolutions. The 5770 supports the new DX11 platform and overclocks very well. However the 4890 comes stock with a higher clock speed and is slightly more powerful than the 5770 and from experience this card overclocks better. I am a proud owner of both cards. Either one you choose you will be happy as unless you are a serious gamer you will have no need to overclock either one to watch 1080p resolution at seamless frame rates. Nvidea also has some very nice cards but I suggest ATI because you get more performance for less of the price!
