Hi guys, the 14.36.x driver will be the LAST XP driver for G965 chipsets. Not sure about Vista but support should continue for the time being.

Dude that's an older driver. It says 14.34.5. The newest driver is called 14.36. 14.34.5 is just bug fix driver for 14.34.

There is no such thing. G965 doesn't support DX10 in hardware(GL960/GM965/G35 does), and XP is not a DX10 OS. (If you are talking about that "DX10 mod" for Crysis on XP, that's not DX10, but DX9 capability put to the max. Crytek put an artificial limit so not all DX9 capabilities are shown for...

I just opened my OpenGL Extensions Viewer and tested out the 14.36 XP drivers. The drivers now support OpenGl 2.0!! 33% of OpenGL 2.1 functions are also support. I can now run Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

The 15.9.7 and 14.34.4 is for 4 series chipset only. I did see the readme file and it only mentions the 4 series chipsets. I think they are just there because of the rare 4 series chipset based IGP mobo out there. Officially, they are not here yet.

The 15.9 driver supports DX10/SM4.0/OpenGL1.5. 14.34 supports DX9/SM3.0/OpenGL 1.5. 14.34 is for XP anyway so DX10 won't be supported. Other than not supporting OpenGL 2.0 yet, it does support everything in hardware. I don't know where some people are getting the idea that the hardware is not...

I am saying I wasn't being sarcastic :).

Do you not understand why I wrote "Oh yea, right" rather than "Yea right" ?? nothingbutair9: It's not THAT bad. Try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling it. Anyways, the usage of the RAM is dynamic and you can't change the algorithm. What you can do is make it fixed, so a fixed...

Oh yea, right.

Well, it will pop DX related windows when you try to play. I guess it'll be playable in safe mode, but higher settings and resolutions greater than 800x600 will crash it. Otherwise its ok I guess.

It can, but it has compatibility issues. I heard its big enough not worth playing, which isn't too much different from really slow.

Please, Crysis?? Forget about it. You can get 5-7 fps average with 800x600 everything low IF you have 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo desktop with G965. On your laptop with slower CPU and GPU, you'll average 3-4. Granted, even the fastest graphics cards don't run it amazingly well. Call of Duty=1st one...

Hmm, try uninstalling the driver then reinstalling the driver. DX10 Intel driver is out!! *downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2576&OSFullName=Windows+Vista*+Ultimate%2C+32-bit+version&lang=eng&strOSs=156&submit=Go%21

Yes, I know because I have tried the latest XP driver which had the same problem. I think some base code is shared with XP and Vista.

1. In laptops, RAM works at 667MHz Dual Channel, which is 128-bit, or nearly double the 800MHz 64-bit FSB, unless your manufacturer is cheap and puts single channel. And, due to DMA, IGP is sharing the 667MHz 128-bit connection not the 800MHz 64-bit connection called FSB. You OC FSB only CPU...

You are misunderstanding things here. Look at my simple drawing. Older generation IGPs needed to go through FSB in order to access the memory. It no longer does. Why do you think Intel has a 8.4GB/s(1066MHz 64-bit) bus but using 12.8GB/s(Dual Channel DDR2-800) memory...

Hmm, there probably is a way to overclock, but I doubt it'll be easy. GM965 only uses a lot of CPU when doing software rendering, more recent games will benefit a lot from hardware rendering so CPU will barely help here. The RAM and GPU overclocking will benefit the most. The IGP can access...

This is the problem with the X3100. The architecture is optimized for heavy shader environments. Civ 4 demo on default settings gets 15-20 fps in the beginning for my desktop X3000. Remember this is their first generation of the new architecture. Because the notebook version has less...

Doesn't mean it didn't have support. I didn't have problems with my XP based system, and some games in Vista didn't either. Games that require SM3.0 like Bioshock ran with those drivers(for the first time ever!). You are a bit confused here. The X3100 is the mobile version and X3000/X3500...

1. These are DX10 drivers. These are the MINIMUM required driver for the GM45/G45 chipsets. You may just want to take a look at that German site. They ran Crysis and Call of Juarez(albeit at low settings)...
