Use GPU-Z (free program) to get your EXACT chip model.

Update the graphics card driver – On desktops this means visiting the Intel site and getting your updates.

If you aren’t having problems and just want better performance try these: 4 Ways to Improve Intel HD Graphics Performance So, it may be a matter of knowing how to tweak what you have. So, it isn’t as simple as having the right chip. While my Toshiba Satellite with an HD 4000 chip runs SL on Mid-High pretty well at 12 fps, no shadows with minimum problems. You can check which operating systems work with which HD Graphics Chips: Supported Operating Systems for Intel® Graphics Products.Įven those with Series 500 HD Graphics chips run into problems. These look like model numbers for ATI graphics cards. I don’t understand what’s up with these chips. Not shown in Wikipedia Intel List of HD Graphics chips. *Listed on Linden System Requirements page.

2008-2010 – GMA Series: 500 – VR Power Chips – Questionable IMO.

This should give an idea of what will and won’t work with Second Life™. So, use a free program named GPU-Z to determine which HD Graphics chip you have.īecause this seems so confusing I tried to dig out the HD Graphics designators and the year they were released. Then realizing there are more generations of HD Graphics than there are generations of iCore CPU’s.

Its like buying an i3, i5, or i7 CPU and trying to decide if you are getting and old CPU, 4 th gen, or a new CPU, 6 th gen Skylake. With HD Graphics it is, IMO, impossible to tell which chips belong to which generation. So, save that idea for the ‘no-hope-left’ stage.

Also, remember, clearing the viewer’s cache is likely to make things worse.

Next read through what I have here, before you start beating. First before spending time beating on a problem only to discover it is a dead horse, check the system requirements.
