Update: turns out that turning "3d" settings in the graphics control panel fixes this issue. Back to gaming happily

Blurry OpenGL rendering (newest drivers as of 1/9/2012)

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:31:29 GMT

I just updated my drivers, and of course the DirectX performance has increased again, it's getting pretty impressive for an IGP. However, OpenGL seems to be suffering. So far, I've only encountered this in two games- Aquaria and RAGE, both of which use OpenGL (I think they're the only two I own that use OpenGL, the rest using DirectX). Everything rendered onscreen is blurry. In Aquaria, absolutely EVERYTHING is blurred, to the point where I can't make out anything and by luck I managed to click on the "exit game" button. In RAGE, the menus and intro cutscene is fine, everything's crisp and clean as it should be. But once I get to gameplay, everything is completely blurred, as if someone who wears a heavy glasses prescription suddenly took them off. It's near impossible to make out anything. Any suggestions for a fix? I've seen RAGE run fine on Intel HD graphics 3000 before, John Carmack himself said it would, is there something wrong with my system? Or will Intel (hopefully) just fix the problem in the next update? It's pretty irritating. I don't really care about whether or not I can play Aquaria, it was part of a Humble Indie Bundle I paid $4 for and got a bunch of other cool games that run just fine, but I just paid $30 for RAGE and really hope that I won't have to spend another $150+ on a good GPU.

By the way: no trolling plz, this is a support forum, not a let's-hate-on-Intel-graphics-when-it's-the-only-reasonable-option-for-some-people forum (@Albrecht, I'm looking at you.)

Re: Rage* and Intel Platforms with 2nd Gen Core Processors

Actually, I don't work for Intel, I'm an 18 year old college freshman who had to build a computer on a (relative) budget. I just hate people who troll for the hell of it (like you).

I chose Intel gfx because I wanted a fast CPU (check- screw AMD, their processors are terrible) and gpu performance above a normal (crappy) IGP (check).

If you think that in order to be taken seriously, a GPU has to be able to run the latest-and-greatest, biggest GPU-killer on the face of the earth, what about the budget solutions from nVidia and AMD? I don't think that anyone doesn' take nVidia 520 gt seriously, or radeon 5450... both of which are about the sam performance-wise as the intel igp. People on a budget game too, you don't need a $2500 rig that runs everything at max settings 2560x1600 16xAA to enjoy a game.

And actually, that interview was given before RAGE's release. So it was supported out of the box. It took me all of 5 minutes to come up with a reply, just because I find a thread a couple months after you were finished trolling for the time being doesn't mean it took me all that time to find a reply. If I spent two months searching for something to validate my point in an argument on an Internet forum, that would make me like you,. Go somewhere where your trolling talents are valued, like politics, and leave us alone.

ooohhh waaaiiit, I remember you. You were trolling on a thread about Intel graphics running Skyrim, too. , troll somewhere else. Seriously.

Actually, I read an interview ( <-- that's a link to it) with John Carmack (one of id's lead programmers) in which he said that they were working to optimize RAGE for Intel's latest HD integrated graphics, and that they had it running at the time of interview around 30 frames per second (playable). I think game developers are actually taking Intel graphics seriously now...

Re: Will It Run Skyrim? - Intel HD 3000

I got it this morning on my Macbook Pro 13" (bootcamp). It runs well on all settings low 800x600, with a tweaked SkyrimPrefs.ini to turn vsync off (as well as a few other things to make it run better). Also I turned the textures up to medium with almsot no performance hit. Runs about 40 fps most of the time, occasionally dips down to 25... but it's perfectly playable. In short, yes it will run.
