yes and no. i get 30 fps with overclocking using hd 4000 by testing with cinebench and only 3rd place score with the render test. Only systems using dual cpu’s, 6 cores 12 threads, get higher scores than what i have seen. I get great performance using ppro and ae. i think most people just don’t want to try or believe the internal is worthy from poor results ith nthe older hd 3000, 2500 , 2000, and 1000. this hd 4000 is new when the i7, i5 cpu’s and ivy bridge came out. I will have to try and get a card like you say and see how much things improve.
Well, nice hearing from you. I have been away from the cow for a few years. 🙂
