I guess there is no "small" game, but I think that intel was refering to a small number of games, not some small "insignificant" games. Some of the games that are included in this "small" unsupported group, are games such as Oblivion and COD2, which are actually considered to be very BIG games.
No, now your just trying to be a show off. *Look at me I can explain things so a 4 year old can understand.* I know what you are trying to say, but to be honest, who cares? If you are unsure about whether or not it will work, you asked us, The Maw, you have gotten loads of responses. If you are just not taking the cue of which one and don't want to deal with the heart ache of it possibly not working, then pony up and buy a Dedicated GPU.
I think you misinterpret my reply. What you're quoting is actually the "joke" part. So I guess this is where you laugh and go "? where's the joke?" Well, I was actually making the joke that I believe that when Intel says, doesn't support "a small number of games," I was actually saying that they're all full of c***. What I have to justifiy my claim is a rather small article from their website on the G965. It's a compatibility list of games that work, and games that don't .
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intelg965/sb/CS-023 018.htm
in this list alone, there are 17 games that don't work. And these are games, not since the beginning of time and space, but actually games made last year or a little prior. Games like Doom 3 and Prey. There are many games that aren't on the list, because its completely embarassing to both intel and intel gamers alike. Call of duty is not on the list, nor is oblivion, nor is splinter cell:chaos theory. My point there is that intel is full of it, and it's so obvious, its coming out of their ears.
Now, as to why I keep posting, is because I have not found an answer to my question. A definitive answer. I've recieved many responses thoguh. Some say that there is a 99% chance it will perform well. Some say there is no question it can support on max settings no lag. However, others say that integrated is a joke, and that it wont run. Some say "Where's the OMFG poll option" or something along those lines. The truth is that I'm searching for help. I believe that is the point of a forum. To find help. And I am looking for an answer. I am looking for articles to help me. I'm looking for stuff like "Intel announces that H2V will run on G965" or "H2V does not check for Vertex shader or T&L" or even, "Mad Scientist mods G965 to make it a god chipset." I'm looking for concrete information. I'm not looking for some stupid a** response by someone who doesn't know WTF they're talking about. (BTW, that IS NOT YOU, but if you look earlier in this topic, you can see that there are many replies that are completely off the wall.) I appreciate your reply though.
I would like very much to get a dedicated GPU, and relieve this heartache, but my wallet's empty right now. So I'm making do with what I already have. So, until the demo hits the net, or until Tuesday after next, I'll keep posting and digging deeper, and I would appreciate any help I can get from you guys. TY.
