Note that some entries refer to chipsets before GPUs were placed on the CPU die. Please report your findings (playback profiles etc) in the table and list any problems. Otherwise, look in the forums, its got a search function, we all had to do it. Cant help you straight away (although, if you look for your device ID and follow this tutorial, it might be possible to get it working. One PC I was looking at had the 'Intel GMA X4500HD' integrated graphics, and I was wondering if this was in the Intel HD Family. This is specifically for GMA X4500, dont think this method works for X3500. Google search: intel (gma OR integrated OR x4500 OR x3500) watts idle "power consumption"īelow is the experience matrix for the Intel CPU with integrated graphics when using MythFrontend. Im purchasing a mid-range gaming computer at the moment, and I saw Intel HD Family on the list of High End Video Cards on this site.

There seems to be consensus that integrated GPUs in general (including the Intel GMA) are much more power efficient than discrete ones. Users and reviewers often claim that Intel GPUs have very low power consumption.

These GPUs can use the VAAPI library for hardware accelerated decoding. This would seem to indicate that an X4500 is more than enough for typical MythFrontend duties. Since the release of the GMA X4500, the 3D performance of Intel GPUs is now within reach of nVidia's integrated offerings, see here. If you have any experience with these GPUs in MythTV frontends, please add it to the experience matrix so others can benefit from your experience! Intel Integrated GPUs seem to be an excellent choice for a MythTV frontend.
#Intel gma x4500 newegg drivers#
Since 2008 Intel's drivers are open-source, and are generally agreed upon to be excellent in quality and well maintained by Intel. Their performance and their driver support in x.org, has been improving at a steady pace for several years now. Intel HD and Iris Graphics are integrated GPUs commonly found on Intel CPUs.
