Intel GMA 950 (TnL error)

Asked By Viva12 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/29/2011

I have a problem with my intel GMA 950. Whenever I try to run a certain application with higher requirements (especially games) this error pops up.

It prompts me that the hardware is not 3d compatible and that it lacks TNL or vertex shader.

I have found out about 3D analyzer but unfortunately it drastically reduces fps to the point of unplayability. Is there any other workaround except for using 3DA that will not affect my experience ?

No capable 3D hardware found on your system. This game requires Direct3D compatible hardware that supports either T&L or Vertex and Pixel shaders version 1.1 or higher.

We share the same error on our video cards. That is also my problem. My video card also lacks T&L or Transform & Lighting. This technology allows all the 3D processing that used to be handled by the processor to the GPU or the Graphics Processing Unit.

This way, all the 3D graphics processing is done in a separate process and allows the computer processor to handle other tasks and eventually boosts the performance of the computer. T&L capable video card is a requirement to most video games.

Try playing other games that doesn’t need heavy graphics processing. If you really want to play games that has a very high video requirement, you have no choice but to buy a new video card.

Mostly, T&L is available to PCI Express type of video cards. PCI Express is different from the ordinary PCI card.
