INTEL GMA X4500 KEXT SERIES
While GMA performance has been widely criticized in the past as being too slow for computer games, the latest GMA generation should ease many of those concerns for the casual gamer.ĭespite similarities, Intel's main series of GMA Integrated Graphics Processors (IGPs) is not based on the PowerVR technology Intel licensed from Imagination Technologies. Many of the advantages of the new GMA architecture come from the ability to flexibly switch as needed between executing graphics-related tasks or video-related tasks. The 4th generation of GMA combines fixed function capabilities with a threaded array of programmable executions units, providing advantages to both graphics and video performance. However, with the introduction of Intel's 4th generation of GMA architecture ( GMA X3000) in 2006, many of the functions are now built into the hardware, providing an increase in performance. The original architecture of GMA systems supported only a few functions in hardware, and relied on the host CPU to handle at least some of the graphics pipeline, further decreasing performance. Later, Intel integrated the i740 core into the Intel 810 chipset. The GMA line of GPUs replaces the earlier Intel Extreme Graphics, and the Intel740 line, the latter of which was a discrete unit in the form of AGP and PCI cards with technology that evolved from companies Real3D and Lockheed Martin.

Seventh generation (HD Graphics 4000, 5000) - EU * 8 * 2 * clock speedįor example, the HD Graphics 3000 is rated at 125 GFLOPS, which is consistent with the formula (12 * 4 * 2 * 1,300 MHz).Sixth generation (HD Graphics 2000, 3000) - EU * 4 * 2 * clock speed.Fifth generation (HD Graphics) - EU * 2 * 2 * clock speed.

Edit: Updated to support more Chipsets (Intel G31, G41, and G45): Download Intel GM45 Graphics Media Accelerator Driver. Obviously, you can test it with other Intel chipsets, such as 915, 945, 500. I’ve tested it with my Dell Inspiron 1545 (Intel GMA X4500) and got 1336×768 resolution with Snow Leopard 10.6.2, Hazard release, without any further patch!

Note: you have to install Chameleon 2 RC4 from the original package first!

So you don’t need anymore to have Linux, Grub2 and sacred spirit installed!Īll you have to do is replace your Chameleon bootloader in the root of leo filesystem (/boot) with the one supplied in the archive below.

The goal is to get 1336×768 resolution on Intel GMA X4500 with Snow Leopard, so I’ve patched and compiled Chameleon 2 RC4 bootloader, integrating the 915resolution patch, including the strings for GM45 chipset. Unlike the previous HowTo, this time I’ve made the things much simpler. !!Attention: this post is old, you can find an updated version here!!
