SIS Mirage 3+ 672MX vs Intel Extreme Graphics 2
SIS Mirage 3+ 672MX
► remove from comparisonOnboard (shared memory) graphics card integrated in the SIS M672MX
chipset. Sometimes the graphics card for laptops is also called "SIS M672 integrated".
The graphics core is capable of DirectX 9 and therefore Windows Vista Premium certified. The chip is not usable for 3D games. Only Quake 3 Arena should run barely. World of Warcraft, UT 2004 (4 fps) or Aquanox (5fps) are not playable.
Intel Extreme Graphics 2
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Extreme Graphics 2 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip with shared memory on the Intel 852 / 855 GM, GME, GMV chipsets for Centrino, Pentium 4 and Celeron based laptops. The 3D performance is very low and therefore the graphics card is not suited for 3D games. For example the 3D Mark 05 does not start due to the lack of pixel shader support. Furthermore, the card does not support Windows Aero in Vista and Windows 7.
