Default Intel GMA 950 Game Compatibility

Intel has made public a Game Compatibility List for their GMA 950 integrated graphics card.
http://support.intel.com/support/gra.../CS-021400.htm

I am curious to find out if anyone who has ANY of the games listed below have had success in playing these games on a GMA 950.

Battlefield 2
Call of Duty 2
GTA: San Andreas
Half-Life 2
Quake 4

LOL! I would be surprised if you could even get the game into the start menu.

Those all have the red circle next to them, meaning "Game does not operate or issues make game play difficult."

I wouldn't gamble that the GMA950 can play any newer game comfortably . .

Yeah Chaz, I know they all have the red circle next to them but what I want is some feedback from the users who have actually played or try to play any of these games on the GMA 950 and have had success.

Default Re: Intel GMA 950 Game Compatibility

i have played call of duty 1 on my gma 900 with a 1.73 cpu and 1.2 gig ram. runs on 1280x1020 with settings on high. there is no frame chop at all im really happy with it.

the strange thing is that is says that it can not play the expansion pack for cod 1, cant figure that one out.

i have read that hl2 can be played but you have to run it in directx7 or 6.

Does anyone know if it works w/ Counter Strike 1.6?

CS or Half Life 1? via Steam?

if so, are there settings in the GMA 950 settings to turn off verticle sync or will it be stuck on 60fps?

Thanks

On my GMA 950:

Civ 4 runs.
Half life 2 runs.
Quake 4 runs.
GTA: SA runs.

All of them are playable but only at lowest settings and even then some lag.

Not a Sims 2 fan? That runs not bad on an Intel GMA 950. RAM will help considerably especially if you own a bunch of expansions and/or download custom items.
