What sort of gaymen can I expect to run on this Intel HD 3000 (Sandrybridge generation) iGPU that comes with the Lenovo Thinkpad x220?

Anything before 2003 and as well as modern indie pixelshit

have fun with your pleb 2d platformers and point n' clicks

Old games
Doom
2D indie games
Some 3D titles at low settings

You can watch gay men with that. Thats about it.

Is there any reason to buy gpu if I don't play vidya?

HALO CE is cool you can run it above 50 fps

Editing videos, CAD visualization, modeling, game development, buttcoins, password cracking, animation

But otherwise no, there's not

Everything up to 2008 plays great.
i even played Crysis 3 and posted performance here.
You can expect 18-24fps at 720p.

Skyrim, San Andreas, Minecraft, Source games, Total War series until Shogun 2: Total War...

There's a lot of games that you can run on it, may not be with the best graphics but at least runs quite well within 30 FPS or so if you configure it well.

Many productivity programs use the GPU for acceleration, like video and photo editing, simulation, rendering, and obviously 3D modeling.
Practically any program that can benefit from highly-parallel processing has GPU support these days, since it's far more effective and efficient than multi-core processors.

You sound like some indie shitter who pollutes steam with your retarded 2d platformers

Visual novels

Even Chrome can use your GPU, and your GPU takes care of video decoding (and encoding if it's recent.)

/vr/ is the master race. I rarely play anything made after 2005.

>mods on Sup Forums
thats a first

should have gotten __30 series thinkpad

the jump from intel hd 3000 to hd 4000 made a difference

on my t430, I can play black ops II on steam, tf2, and PCSX2 ps2 emulator

>tfw nouveau
>tfw even TF2 barely works on maxframes on my GF 9600M GT
I remember that vidya worked much better on Vista.

it runs supertux

many games pre 2010

>you a t410 and you can't even play doom with opengl.

So far I have stuck with only 2d games, and they run fine. 3d becomes different. I tested minecraft for shits and giggles, and it ran at a constant 60, but hit 98c which was cancer
