Therefore, the performance of the N450 and N470 with GMA 3150 is currently not sufficient to watch H.264 encoded HD videos with a higher resolution than 720p. The DXVAChecker shows hooks for MPEG2 (VLD, MoComp, A, and C) up to 1920x1080. In our tests with the Dell Mini 1018 many modern games didn't even start (driver 8.):Īccording to Intel, the GMA 3150 can help the CPU decode MPEG2 videos. Furthermore, Torchlight ran more or less fluently in 800圆00 - low, but Fraps only showed 10fps. More modern low demanding games like Trackmania Nations Forever or Left 4 Dead only showed a slideshow. In our tests only the old Quake 3 Arena ran fluently (even with high detail settings). The 3D performance of the GMA 3150 is therefore only suited for some low demanding 3D games in low details. Therefore, the performance is only a bit better than the old GMA 950 found in many Netbooks with N270 Atom CPUs. The graphics core is based on a GMA X3100 design (according to Intel) but features only two processor cores clocked at 200 MHz. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 or GMA 3150 is an integrated (shared memory) graphics card that is located on the processor package of the Intel Atom N4xx processors.
