Kiku1: I wanna know how Intel can test X3000 HW T&L function, if they do not develop a driver to support the function at a same time. If they did not test it, how can Intel ensure X3000 hardware design being correct? I have been surfing Tom's Hardware and I found this: This means the new driver will be out soon. Intel is currently developing and validating drivers for the Intel G965 Express chipset that support hardware T&L and vertex shader functions for both the Windows* XP and Windows Vista* operating systems.

This driver refers to systems containing the following Intel chipsets: - Intel Q33/Q35/G33 Chipset. - Intel 945G Express Chipset. - Intel 945GZ Express Chipset. - Intel 946GZ Express. Jan 17, 2007. This download installs the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator driver version 14. For the integrated graphics controller of Intel® chipsets for Windows* XP.

From Intel: This document refers to systems containing the following Intel chipsets: Intel 845G Chipset, Intel 845GL Chipset, Intel 865G Chipset, Intel 845GE Chipset, Intel 845GV Chipset, Intel 915G Express Chipset. The drivers included with this distribution package are designed to function with Microsoft Windows XP SP2.

Beta versions of these new drivers are targeted for download availability within the next 3 months with a production version planned later in 2007. I don t think 945 and 915 chipsets have support for hardware T&L or hw vs since the capability for it must be physically present in the chip so its just software T&L for those chipsets. From what I know x3000 was the first Intel IGP to introduce HW T&L(at least in theory because all we know till now is pure speculation and those supposed beta drivers that keep getting delayed and end up never gettingreleased) As forX3000 drivers I grow tired of waiting, I used to think that Intel was a reliable developer in which I could trust to invest money in its products, but all these driver screw-ups really changed my opinion. Buying hardware that is half a year old and that still doesnt have drivers to run at what its supposed to is just buying a marketing idea, and right now I feel thats what I paid for: a marketing idea that will probably only be functional when I wont need it anymore. The New Real Book Pdf 311. So till then Ill be able to watch just what this IGP is capable of my windows desktop, my text based applications, some videos (without the clear video because that would be asking too much) and little more. For my next pc I know what to do.

And it has nothing with both the wordsIntel andintegrated. This opinion is shared with a lot of people and there are some sites that already state the failure that was the poor delivery of drivers for the g965 series IGP, so when it comes it wont be such a big deal it just wont matter anymore. Right now Im only waiting for the dx10 generation Nvidia cards so I can finally enjoy some of the capabilities that Intel bragsabout x3000 having, and finally be able to play those old games for DX8and DX9 that the x3000 isnt even able to run and also the new DX10 games.
