GMA 950 vs GMA X3100

I am trying to decide on which MacBook to get (new for referb). How does the GMA 950 differ from the GMA X3100? I know the GMA X3100 using more memory (not a problem I plan maxing out the memory on the machine. Just wondering if the GMA X3100 is faster or what.
Thanks!!

I actually watched a video cast put out by Intel about their new graphics chips. They are a big step forward to what they have had in the past. Do they compete directly with ATI or Nvidia? NO
Are they capable of playing some games? Yes Can they play the latest high resolution games? NO
Let's face it. You cannot make a onboard chip using onboard memory perform like a $500 ATI or Nvidia
graphics card with dedicated memory! Their is no CHEAP FIX!!! After all Apple is not on the top of any game softwares list of systems to write for. Most games are written for Windows machines and high end machines at that! True gamer's they know will spend hundreds of dollars keeping up with the latest graphics cards. Laptops of any brand are not good gaming machines because they cannot be upgraded easily.

GMA X3100 vs. GMA 950

I got 2 MacBooks, the mid 2007 and the late 2007.
The mid 2007 got an Intel GMA 950 video card with 64 MB.
The late 2007 got an Intel GMA X3100 video card with 144 MB.
The graphics, Exposé, video, open GL tests look smooth & nice on GMA 950 (64 MB).
However, on the newer GMA X3100, the graphics look slow, including the screensaver, even the mac waiting cursor looks a bit slow.
I went to Best Buy to check if the other mac did the same, and they did.
What do you think? Just a driver issue, or what is going on, GMA X3100 was supposed to be better, ironically, it works better in bootcamp than GMA 950, but not in Leopard.

There's two things you can do:
1. Submit the issue(s) via the feedback link for the MacBook which will be directed to the appropriate parties within Apple.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbook.html
You won't get a response, so if you're looking to troubleshoot the issue or send the machine in for repair than you'd need to go the route of AppleCare.
2. If both machines are less than a year old (they sound like it), you'd qualify for the one-year limited hardware warranty. If you choose not to buy AppleCare on your machine and it's older than 90-days you would be subject to a nominal fee to speak with an AppleCare technician for your specific issue.

X61s Graphics is Degraded from GMA X3100 to GMA 950?

I thought It was always Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, but on this page
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/na/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:expandcategor...
it's been degraded to Intel Extreme Graphics Media Accelerator 950.
However, on the following three pages, It's still Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

Anybody knows what happened?

Thank you, Mike
My order was on 24 Jan 2008. I never noticed that literal mistake before. However, when I found it yesterday I really worry about my X61s may have GMA 950 applied, even I was planning to cancel my order. Anyway, thank you, Mike

Sims 3 with a GMA 950 Graphic Card?

I really want to use the sims 3 on my macbook. It's a few years old. I looked in System Profiler and saw that i have a GMA 950 graphics card? I'm going to upgrad my memory to 2GB. Will it be possible to play the game?
Thanks for the help!

It may work, but the graphics card is NOT supported. I saw this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9573469&#9573469
Which doesn't clearly state if the users were successful or not with the Mac version of Sims 3.
Maybe someone else will have more solid information.

Adding more RAM to Intel GMA 950?

So I've had my iMac (see bottom of post for specs) for a while now and I love everything about it, except the Intel GMA 950 intergrated graphics. It works, but as far as games go, I can hardly play Halo. It's gotten better since 10.5.6 seeing as it boosts graphics performance, but it could be better.
I'm aware that it's VRAM is shared with system memory, so is there any way I can give the chip more of the system RAM to use? 2gb is plenty, so I'm willing to share some. Any help is appreciated.

Jerroslaw,
since you’re running Mavericks, open up Activity Monitor while you’ve got your usual selection of apps running, select its Memory tab, and look at the Swap Used setting in the lower left. If it’s displaying “0 bytes” as the amount of swap used, then extra RAM won’t make a difference. Otherwise, to answer your first question, whether it’s worth it or not depends upon how frustrated you are running your usual selection of apps with 4 GB of RAM. It might be that the cost of replacement RAM modules outweighs your level of frustration — only you can make that determination of worth. I would recommend that if you do choose to purchase replacement RAM, that you get a pair of matching modules — either 2 × 4 GB = 8 GB, or 2 × 8 GB = 16 GB, to replace the pair that is currently installed.
For your second question, you don’t have to use Apple-brand RAM, but you do have to use RAM with the same characteristics as your factory-installed RAM uses. Any worthwhile purveyor of RAM for Macs will let you easily locate modules that are compatible with your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.

Displaying 1920x1200 on Samsung 2443BW, macbook with GMA 950

I just purchased a Samsung SyncMaster 2443BW. I connect it through DVI and the highest resolution I can set it at is 1280, higher options are not offered in display preferences.
The monitor's native resolution is 1920x1200.
The macbook I am using has a GMA 950 card which is supposed to support up to 1920x1200 on an external monitor.
Would anyone know how to make it work? Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
taken from Apple Video Developer Note found here:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWTechVideo/Articles/Video_implementation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003994-SW741200331181
*External Display Modes*
The default display mode setting on the MacBook is extended desktop display. To toggle between the two modes, press the F7 key, or go to System Preferences>Displays>Arrangement.
A scaling function is available when the internal display and an external monitor are both operating and the mirror mode is selected. However, the external monitor could have black borders during mirroring, depending on the supported timings between the two displays and on the monitor’s selection algorithm. Black borders are not seen on VGA displays.
Both displays show full-sized images when the display resolution for the external monitor is set to the internal display’s native resolution: 1280 by 800. Both displays can operate with other resolution settings, but in mirror mode, one of the displays may be smaller than the full screen and have a black border around it. With the resolution for the external monitor set to less than 1280 by 800, the image on the internal display is smaller than its screen. For resolution settings larger than 1280 by 800, the image on the external monitor is smaller than its screen.
In mirror mode, the maximum size of the external display is 1280 by 800 at 60 Hz. In extended desktop mode, the maximum size of the external display is 1920 by 1200 at 60 Hz.

Stefan

Share more RAM with GMA 950

would be possible to share more RAM with the GMA 950 ? I have 2 GB ram and 64Mb is shared with graphic card.Let's say i would like to share 128MB will this help to something ? If yes, where i can do it? I know how to do it on PC but dunno about mac. Thanks

Yes, it would be nice but Intel graphics are set to use only so much Ram even if you have some to spare. It would not provide any better performance even if you could. Because of the design of the chip its not capable of doing a lot of with games for example. The new chip x1300 from Intel which is on the newest MacBooks will use more Ram and can play some games like Far Cry with lower resolutions and slower frame rates. But some say its still pretty good. One of the big problems is that game studio's design games for Nvidia and ATI cards and don't even consider anything else. That's is to bad for those of use who by laptops.

Macbook gma 950 driver

is there a driver update for my macbooks gma 950 grafics card ?

You can use Avast Antivirus in XP 64. I really don't recommend the 64 bit version of Windows for anyone unless they have specific 64 bit applications they need to run. The driver support is very minimal (regardless of whether you're using a MacBook or any other 64 bit based architecture). The OS is really designed for people with very specific needs. Now that 64 bit processors are becoming the standard, I expect the gap in support for 64 bit versions of Windows will lessen (actually, I would imagine the next version of Windows after Vista will support both 32 and 64 bit hardware as Leopard will). For now, XP 64 is interesting to play with, but unless you really need to use it for very specific tasks, it just doesn't have a great deal of driver support. Unfortunately, you must use 64 bit drivers for any hardware you want to use. Most consumer manufacturers don't provide 64 bit drivers. Companies like nVidia and ATI are always good with driver support, so you'll be able to get your video up and running without a problem... but alot of the peripherals you might buy are likely not supported.

What games can i run with a Intel GMA 950 64 MB

what games can i run with a Intel GMA 950 64 MB

An afterthought. There is a site called Inside Mac Games

They have a forum which may be a good source for info on games you can play on your Mac.

GMA 950

Hello- I have a Summer 2006 White MacBook, and I really want to get the Sims 3 which is coming out in about a month. I just found out that
"This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards."
Is there ANYTHING that I can do? Because I have the Intel GMA 950.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
sorry to say, but there's nothing that can be done.
The GMA950 is soldered onto the logic board of the MacBook and can not be cahnged or upgraded.

Intel GMA 950

Upgrade graphics RAM, Any idea. My MacMini Have only 64gb an i meed more. How can i do this?

Hey,
The Intel GMA 950 graphic chip is integrated, so it cannot be upgraded at all. The only thing you can do to improve graphics in your mini is to get as much RAM as you can --which can be from 2 to 4 gigs, depending on the model.
Best,
Felix

SL & GMA 950 on 2007 MacBook

What is the current status of the GMA 950/SL issues described in this (archived) thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2132473&start=0&tstart=0 ?
I've been going crazy with my 2007 Macbook which stopped playing fullscreen video smoothly on my external projector, regardless of source or resolution, since upgrading to SL (10.6.5). This is obviously a software issue. Can anything be done with it or do I need to thank Apple again and downgrade to Leopard?
Thanks.

I´m having the same issue on my 27" iMac C2D 3.06Ghz wich i think has an ATI 256mb video card.
Transission to fullscreen, open folder in launchpad, and expose are very laggy. Switching through different spaces or fullscreen apps works like a charm. I hope apple fix this as it makes the user experience not very pleasant

Snow Leopard on a 1.83 White iMac Core Duo w/ GMA 950 Integrated Graphics?

Hi. My parent's computer is an older, white iMac with a GMA 950 integrated graphics. Currently it's running Tiger and it runs very well.
However, I am in town for a short bit and was thinking about updating their system while I'm here. Does the iMac 1.83 with integrated graphics run Snow Leopard very well? Or should I just leave Tiger on it?

Anyone with a 1.83 iMac Core Duo with integrated graphics (NOT the ATX 128 mb graphics) running Snow Leopard?

Is it possible to increase GMA 950 Video Ram from 64MB?

Hi,
Sorry if this question has been answered plenty of times before, but I am wondering if there is a way to increase the GMA shared VRAM from 64MB?
If not is Apple planning to make this a configurable option in future firmware versions?
The reason I'm worring about video RAM is although the GMA 950 holds up pretty well in OS X animations, as soon as I start using 2 or more desktops in spaces, or 2 monitors, things get choppy. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did anyone find a solution?

That might be a good idea. I started out with an upgrade myself and had a few problems. I then did a new install and it runs much better. You might want to try an Archive and Install.
