Good news for Intel G965 Users who use integrated graphics

[sirramzy]

Can anybody tell me if World In Conflict works in g965WH or not??

my config:
core 2 duoe6300
1 gb ram :667 mhz
160 gb hdd

i have pretty much the same configuration... but i got 1.5 GB ddr2 Ram.. unfortunately, World in Conflict loads halfway..and then shows the BSOD...and restarts.. i'm gonna try and revv it up with 3-D analyzer..and get back with the results

 

[bikdel]

^^^ what has that to do with 3d analyser dude?...

the x3000 already got sm 3.0 n HW tnL ... what r u gonna simulate??

Today I downloaded CRYSIS demo and it is playable at 800x600 at low settings,,
BUT some particles graphics are corrupted and the some objects are rendred late and also some parts of the weapons and nano suit are missing,, but frame rate is playable [ocassionally it drops very low],,,

i am sure future drivers can fix this problem,,**FARCRY was also having same problem and with new drivers it played very smooth**

and also i am having only 1GB DDR2 533 ram and on Tuesday i am getting 1GB DDR2 667 Ram 2 sticks i will connect it in dual channel mode and see the difference,,

I am really surpriced that i was able to play the game bcoz the EA perticularly listed as integrated chipsets are not supported

if i press detect optimum settings all settings will b set to medium and resolution to 1024

I am running it on XP 32 bit
I am having 64 bit Vista and try to run the game on that bcoz crysis performance increases on 64 bit OS

Well Downloaded the NFS Prostreet Demo sadly it will not play
U can browse through menus and change graphics settings and all but wen u select the difficulty mode the loading screen comes and it exits to desktop poping message as "nfsdemo.exe encounted an error "
But some how at one time I played the game for some 10 secs only then it exited to desktop..

Dissapointed a bit bcoz its minimum requiremnts are not high

Crysis requires minimum 6600 and it is playable
NFS Prostreet requires minimum 6200 and itz not playable

May b an updated driver will play the game i Guess

I am eagarly awaiting for the new drivers

Q965 board has only GMA 3000 graphics [not x3000] so it doesnot support hardware TnL so COD2 wont run
G965 board has GMA X3000 and supports Hardware TnL so COD2 runs

[s18000rpm]

i'll post the review after 25th , thats when i'l re-unite with my PC (at home)

 

[upendra_gp]

is G33 board from intel worth the buy to play games at medium 1024X768 settings? Particularly newer ones like Crysis,COD4.

i dont think so cos the G31 and G33 chipsets have GMA 3100/3000 and its just a refurbished/rebranded GMA 950....they shud be worse than G965 which has GMA X3000...

if u want wait a week or so until G35 chipset is launched as its the real successor with GMA X3500 or for now just go with other nvidia/amd offerings

 

[shyamno]

I can't find those updates ..in Intel's download center....???from where u got those updates....i also saw many other sites displaying those updates.....r they not officially....out yet ??
