Are graphics solutions on Intel DG31PR Desktop Board & Mobile 965 Board DIFFERENT?
Hi Friends, I am having some strange problems with my Intel DG31PR Motherboard’s graphics solution. I bought this motherboard last month for my home computer along with a C2D 2.4 Ghz proccy and 2 GB of Transcend Jet RAM. Along with it, i got, for myself, a Dell Inspiron 1525 Lappy (config in my siggy). The lappy has a Mobile Intel 965 Mobo with Intel X3100 graphics. My desktop board also reports same. The problem i am having is that the graphics solution only seems to support Pixel Shaders 2.0 standard. Laptop’s graphics solution reports PS 3.0. I checked it in 3D Mark 2006. Games like Call of Duty 4 run fine on laptop but crash with an error on desktop. Need for Speed series from EA works fine upto Underground 2 but Need for Speed Carbon gives 2 FPS on the menu. Inside the game runs at a playable speed. On lappy both menu and ingame mode run fine. Need for speed most wanter crashes randomly while switching to Free Roam mode, while runs like anything on the laptop. Also many small game
