How can it be, that people with Intel HD 4000 runs League of Legends better than Intel HD 5000, when this statement is said: "According to benchmarks in 3DMark 11, the HD Graphics 5000 is up to 50 percent faster than the previous HD 4000." - Source
I've read comments everywhere suggesting that even 3000 runs at 60 FPS:
I just received my first MacBook Air with Intel HD 5000, and it plays League of Legends on MAX 30 FPS without shadow. I really thought that I would be able to play much better than this, since data suggested Intel HD 3000 and 4000 to perform pretty well. I didn't buy this machine to game on it (actually bought it for school and daily tasks), but definitely also to game some times with my friends. So please don't attack me with statements like "What did you expect on a mac?", because I made my research and on paper its meant to be better. :S
But what I am asking is, how can these people have better FPS during League of Legends with Intel HD 3000 and 4000 when I am no where near with Intel HD 5000?
I've read comments everywhere suggesting that even 3000 runs at 60 FPS:
''I'm currently using 3000, and get 60+ on all low. I don't really care about how LoL looks, though. Other games I'm lucky to get like...30.''
''HD 3000, i run on all high settings, no shadows, 1900x1080. I avg anywhere from 35-60fps, depending on what is going on in game. Around 30 flat during big team fights, never goes any lower.''
"I have the 3000 and always get 60+ on max settings. I don't have shadows on though because seriously who the hell cares about shadows in this game.""Intel HD 4000 plays it smooth with 50-70 FPS without recording and 35-45 while recording.''
