Q: Does Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset support Pixel Shaders?

[laurene-wells]

I am trying to get my game, Chariots, to run on a borrowed laptop that has the Intel Centrino Duo and the Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset integrated video. Can you tell me if this graphics card supports Pixel Shader 1.1 or higher? The error I am getting suggests that it does not. I need to know for sure please, so I can determine if it is possible for me to run the Intel Software Assessment Tool on my game for this configuration or not. My game requires Pixel Shaders 1.1 or higher.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Laurene,

"10.4.1.6.8 Pixel Shader

The Mobile Intel 945GM/GME/GMS/GU/GSE, 943/940GML and Intel 945GT Express Chipsets have a Microsoft DirectX9 PS 2.0-compliant Pixel shader. This includes Perspective-correct diffuse and specular color interpolation via internal use of texcoords. Has also support for non-perspective correct texture coordinates as well as support for Fog parameter separate from Specular Alpha."

.... for more info, please check the Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family data sheet!
