intel 945gm question

hi i was wondering sense the 945gm has intergrated graphics umm how do i enable them because when i did a systemrequirementslab test it has no vertex shader and i really need it D: please help anyone

 

It's an integrated graphics chips with no vertex shaders, I believe you're referring to the 965 chipset otherwise known as the X3100. I'm afraid if you want a video card with vertex shaders you will have to upgrade to a better laptop.

 

The OP is correct to refer to the Intel 945GM Chipset which uses the GMA 950. However, unfortunately, this is even worse than the X3100.

 

no its a 945gm i did the can you run it and it says i have a mobile intel(R) 945gm and it says i dont have pixle but i dont think that true is there any thing eles i can do to see?

 

Lets make the simple. What game are you trying to play?

 

lol tons xDDD bioshock (useing the pixle shader 2.0 fix xD) halo 2 halo 1 guild wars on recremended ect.

 

Bioshock and Halo 2 are not going to work. You'll squeeze by with Halo 1 and Guild Wars on low settings.

 

no pixel pipelines? i believe so because 945 is like 950 which is worst of the graphics in integrated. i think ati and nvidia integrated has 2 pipelines but not intel...

 

bioshock will work same with halo 2 for bioshock i need vertex shader 2.0 because i have the pixle shader 2.0 fix so i can play it with 2.0 pixle shader andi have 224 mb of vid ram im just trying to get intergrated graphics on here that all D: my dad knows what he bought today aswell im not sure how to enable this intergrated graphics

 

don't even buy those games with your notebook, unless you get a better one or "gaming desktop." itll be waste of money since you can;t play them. however halo 1 and guild wars might work.
--------------------
your gpu doesn;t even have power to run that application,
expect 2-4fps even with 2.0

 

so theres no way for me to get intergrated ?i dont care if its not all that great i just need them D:

 

You will get maybe 10 FPS in Bioshock and Halo 2. Not playable.

 

halo 2 works i played it on low quality and runs ver ygood and bioshock i bought for my desktop pc i just like gaming on the go

 

i made my point...
945 will not run bioshock
halo 2 as i though
but bioshock will recognize it and stop the installation

 

ill check bioshock right now then to make sure

 

but just to double check no way for me to get intergrated graphics or somthing else besides systemrequirmentslab so i can check if my vid card acully has shaders

 

nono...
945 or 950 (almost identical)
is way lower than the recommend setting and it doesn;t even meet standard requirement for bioshock. check the forums about the list of gpus by chaz

 

You are not going to get Bioshock to work on integrated graphics, try as you may.

Halo 1 at least should work fine, not sure about two.

 

ok bioshock works pretty well with the pixle shader 2.0 fix

 

LOL, this guy is full of it.

 

LOL(to noxxle)it runs on everything on low and some graphics are messed up

 

by the way i wanted to say thanks for the people who tryed to help me thank you

 

Bioshock will NEVER be 'playable' on the intel 945. NOT EVER.

 

I second this motion.
