Question about HP drivers

Dkolv1337 · Dec 31, 2005, 07:22 PM

Well my friend is using a stock HP computer that he bought a while ago, and im wondering, are there any type of omegadriver type thing for his video card, which is a: Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family..So thats my question, im looking for newer drivers so he can run some games without lag, and help cut down on lag in Ironforge in WoW.

welcome to DH.

as for drivers, let us know what are the rest of the system specs before we go off listing possible drivers for you to use. also, is it using built in video?

It would seem to be an Intel GMA900 (Graphics/Media Accelerator) onboard.

An oddity which DOES support Pixel shader 2.0
But does not have support for hardware transform & lighting http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-011910.htm - this IS likely to trip a few things up, as it has been a basic hardware feature in most other cards since the Geforce 2MX.

One thing is certain, you WILL find things that will not run acceptably (or at all), despite this being theoretically DX9-capable hardware.

It wouldn't need a terribly expensive PCI-Express graphics card to wipe the floor with it, just so long as the accountants and marketdroid morons at HP actually left the thing with a usable slot to expand it - they've done motherboards with the AGP slot left out before now.
