Some old 3D games and especially 2D games should run without problems. Still Intel published a list of games that will run (not needingly beautiful) on the notebook (list is for the GMA 900). The GMA 950 can not be described as a graphics card that is sufficient for gamers. Using the GMABooster tool, slower variants can be clocked to 400 MHz to increase the 3D performance (use at your own risk, not supported by Intel!).

945GU: 133 MHz (Lakeport for Intel A100 and A110).

The GMA 950 is integrated in the following chipsets with different rendering clock rates (that affect the 3D performance):

Modern HD videos in MPEG 4 or VC-1 can not be decoded with the graphics card. Furthermore, the chip is able to accelerate the decoding of MPEG2 videos and supports Motion Compensation (2 HD Streams simultaneously).

It supports DirectX 9.0 with Shader Model 3.0 (Vertex Shader are calculated in Software - by the CPU) and OpenGL 1.4. Compared to the GMA 900 it now supports Shader Model 3.0 (instead of 2.0) and can decode 2 HD Streams simultaneously. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and does not support hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) calculations (which is required for some games). The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (also known as IntelВ GMA 950) is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on the Mobile Intel 945Gx chipset for Intel processors. Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 в–є remove from comparison Still the power consumption of the chip is quite competitive, so it may be the right choice for office tasks. 2D applications, games and Windows Vista / Windows 7В Aero are supported without any performance problems.Д¬ompared to other modern integrated chipsets like the GeForce 9400M or the Radeon HD 3200, the 4500M is clearly the slowest especially for 3D games. for example achieved 30 fps (with stutters) in low deatails and low resolustions (combined with a fast CPU). Only less demanding 3D games and very old games may run fluently in low detail settings. The gaming performance of the 4500M is not really good.

The chip itself is capable of supporting the CPU to decode HD videos, but because of the slower clock rate, the 4500M has troubles decoding 1080p videos fluently and therefore has no full Blu-Ray logo support.

The mGPU is integrated in the Intel GM40 and GL40 chipsets and designed for cheap laptops.В The graphics card is also called Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset FamilyВ in the Intel drivers.Д¬ompared to the GMA 4500M HD, the 4500M features a slower core clock (400 MHz versus 533MHz) and is thus a bit slower in games. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M (GMA 4500M) (sometimes also called GMA X4500 M) is a DirectX 10 capable integrated shared memory graphic card for laptops.
