I agree with all the reviewers that it was not able to play the above games during that time when the GMA was released with no proper drivers . Now using this GMA 950 i was able to play games like crysis , crysis warhead, need for speed carbon and world of warcraft wrath of the lich king etc.  This all became possible with improved drivers from Intel and some softwares like 3D Analyze, swiftshader and also modded drivers. I will explain this softwares one by one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3D Analyze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is one of the most important software for those people whose video card does not support hardware transform and lighting (TnL) . Most of the games required hardware TnL,previously hardware TnL was done on cpu. Most of the games does not even start on GMA 950 as they specifically check for hardware TnL which the GMA does not support. Using this software we can emulate hardware TnL (making the game to believe that video card support hardware TnL). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UCzK1ky-IIs/SbSdvm09bNI/AAAAAAAAAB0/aX5G2kw31aM/s1600-h/3d.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 265px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UCzK1ky-IIs/SbSdvm09bNI/AAAAAAAAAB0/aX5G2kw31aM/s320/3d.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311043301778746578" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt; using this 3D analyze i played games like prince of persia sands of time, painkiller,overlord, crysis,crysis warhead. The latest games crysis and crysis warhead ran at very low setting with playable frame rates. whereas old games like sands of time, painkiller and overlord worked at high settings.Most of the games worked for me by emulating hardware TnL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to use 3D Analyze&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. first download the 3D Analyze from &lt;a href="http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/tools/3d_analyze/download/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. unzip into a folder and then run 3DAnalyze.exe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Then press select &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. now go to the folder where you have installed the game &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. select the .exe file ( like prince of persia.exe etc)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. now under hardware limits tick the boxes emulate HW TnL caps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. press run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you can save this setting as batch file . Instead of running the software again and again you can run the batch file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Swiftshader&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is another software which can run games if you don't have hardware TnL. It totally depends on the CPU . If you want to play games with swiftshader i recommend that u have very powerful CPU like Quad core or core i7 (better getting a graphic card than getting core i7). well only thing you have to do is to drop d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll in the directory of the game .After dropping the dll's you can run the game . Because of fully dependent on CPU most of the games will become unplayable (low FPS).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ADDGAME.REG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is another method of making a game believe that hardware T n L exist on your card . Few games just check whether hardware T n L exists are not even though the processor is able to do those hardware T n L so the game refuses to launch . Some of the game which can be run using addgame.reg are devil may cry 3 , crysis , splinter cell pandora tomorrow etc. i am giving u the code to add the game to your registry . only thing you have to do is paste this code in your notepad and save it as addgame.reg or watever u want . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]&lt;br /&gt;"~nfsdemo.exe"=dword:00000001&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if u want to add a game to your registry just change the nfsdemo.exe to the game you want to add to registry . This only works for windows vista . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Modding intel 965 series driver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It seems that driver which are provided by intel are not good enough to run games like call of duty 2 and portal and finally when intel stopped updating driver for GMA 950, people started modding drivers of intel 4 series for GMA 950 . To everybody's surprise games like call of duty 2 and portal started working, moreover crysis started working without 3D analyze software.   There are tutorial for modding drivers of 4 series in &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2aAgFMKAf4"&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have modded a driver  and tested on my system . With this modded driver and registry mod i am able to play lot of games without the need of 3D Analyze . Games like Splinter cell chaos theory, Devil may cry 3 , crysis etc are playable . i have also noticed some changes after installing this modded drivers. I will post screenshots of GPU caps viewer for the both version(official and modded driver).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UCzK1ky-IIs/Sip4fnUIEEI/AAAAAAAAAD8/xjgbwS-5ex0/s1600-h/1504.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 335px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UCzK1ky-IIs/Sip4fnUIEEI/AAAAAAAAAD8/xjgbwS-5ex0/s400/1504.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344216392353189954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UCzK1ky-IIs/Sip4fmVd11I/AAAAAAAAAEE/l9Bwf5J7ydg/s1600-h/1624.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UCzK1ky-IIs/Sip4fmVd11I/AAAAAAAAAEE/l9Bwf5J7ydg/s400/1624.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344216392090376018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Well you can clearly see the difference, in official 1504 driver the number of vertex shader under texture units in GPU caps viewer is 0 whereas in 1624 drivers the number of vertex shader is 16 and also now the number of Render targets are 7 whereas in 1504 driver it is 0. I have heard a lot about GMA 950 that it supports a lot of openGL extensions other than the Current drivers support. When some people asked about why intel is not providing any drivers for GMA 950 they say that the Video card is end of maintanence . I don't understand why intel is not providing any drivers for 945G which can run windows 7 with full Aero glory .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Intel 9xx Gaming community&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  This Group has been tweaking the intel drivers for a long time and they have come out with some outstanding drivers, which gave a performance improvements in several games . They have tweaked a lot of games which were consider to be unplayable .When i bought this GMA 950 i thought man i am not going to play games like resident evil 4 , crysis etc .. but after joining this group i have played lot of games which i never thought it is possible . you can get the updated list of games that are playable on intel GMA 950 and also in intel GMA 900 . Those who are interested can join this group .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Final thoughts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Intel GMA 950 for sure is not for gamers who need good frame rates and play modern games . still this video card can play old games at acceptable frame rates and can run windows vista with aero and also can run the upcoming windows 7 .In next review i will bring out the benchmarks of games played on GMA 950. hope this was useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;List of games playable on GMA 950&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be updating this list regularly .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Africa Corps vs. Desert Rats ( XP ONLY)&lt;br /&gt;Age of Empires II + The Conquerors Expansion&lt;br /&gt;Age of Empires III + The Warchiefs + The Asian Dynasties&lt;br /&gt;Age of Mythology + Titans Expansion&lt;br /&gt;Aggression: Reign Over Europe  (Using 3DAnalyzer: all textures work but too slow.
