I am not trying to doom the 950 GMA and say it can't play ANY new games, I am just saying based on my experience of trying the MP Demo via STEAM it did not run. I was using I believe v1.2 Sherry Drivers. I will re-run the test again today, but based on Crysis 2 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS (from System Requirements Labs Scanner): CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.0 GHz or better RAM: 2 GB (Vista requires 3 GB) OS: Windows XP, Vista, and 7, with the latest Service Packs Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB of memory or higher; ATI/AMD Radeon HD 3850 512Mb RAM or higher *Vertex/Pixel Shader 3.0, Hardware TnL, 512 MB Video RAM Hard Disk Space: 9 GB
The 950 GMA fails to meet the 512 MB VRAM (it has only 256 MB, but I've seen 32 MB cards run 64 MB min. games), we also are lacking the Shader 3.0 Models until someone comes up with a workaround (which might be possible). Yet again I don't mean to get any hopes down, if 9xx SSF can get it to run I will possibly buy the game, based off of Crysis/Crysis Warhead in order to get past odd looking screens type into the command line "e_fog_volume 0" or "e_fog_volumes 0" and it will have a better performance rate and the odd screen bugs go away. This screen issue is due to the fog and lighting used in the games engine (I tested the Crysis Wars Map Editor and found that to be the main issue. Also I WILL BE testing Portal 2 once it is released on v1.2 Sherry Drivers unless v1.3 drivers are released, so far it seems plausible that it will run on a 950 GMA but I won't know til I try it (already pre-loaded, ect).
