My opinion is that a E7XXX or E5XXX system, with 4gb ddr2 ou ddr3...... micro-atx or mini-itx motherboards / no eye candy and anti-aliasing would make a lot more sense with cards like this one.... 9400gt... hd4550.... I mean, low processing and consumption card power....
I agree. Also there is missing comparisons to IGP solutions like an AMD 780G or 785G motherboard. The Geforce 210 is such a low performance gaming card/GPU and the conclusion is all about the power/HTPC value, there really should be comparisons to IGP.
I know techpowerup is more a tech enthusiast website, but it seems that these HTPC add-on cards are going to stay around for another generation or so. And ATIs 56xx and 55xx series are coming out soon. It would be great to create an alternate HTPC rig like DaC suggested or even better an AMD system with an AthlonII ($99 620 quad cores or one of the new 45w variants) and a 785G micro-atx motherboard. Then you could compare the integrated 785G graphics to these low-end graphics cards. The 785G IGP has all the features of this G210 card. Obviously one would not need to test all the cards in the current database, and maybe not even all the games you currently use.
It just seems to me that there is a point where buying a $60 motherboard with IGP makes more sense than buying a different motherboard with one of these ~$50ish graphics cards. There are not many review websites that show both IGP and low-end graphics cards. They either skip the IGP or only benchmark the IGP against previous generations.
edit: I am able to run Mirror's Edge at 1280x1024 on my 780G IGP (ASUS M3A78-EM) at lowest quality settings with no AA and get around 20-25fps and be able to play the game. At 1024x768 it runs over 30fps and definitely playable, just not very pretty.
