Can i Play this game with a GMA950?

from Sins Forums
On the min requirement page it states a Radeon 9600. But I have a laptop that is dual core 1.7ghz which will have 2gb of ram and has the Intel GMA950 integrated. I will be going to japan for a year so the only gaming cmop I will have is this laptop. Can I expect reasonable performance?

It runs perfectly on my intel gma x3100 (1280x800 everything on highest except bloom wich is turned off)

Your GMA950 is one generation older then the x3100 though it should still run it very decently, allthough you may have to turn down some of the graphics options.

p.s Make sure you have the newest intel drivers installed ! version 15.8 for optimal performance

I have a laptop with a 950 and the game is totally playable at 1280x800 with everything on low. During huge battles with 100+ ships, I have to zoom out a bit to icon view so that the ships don't render, but other than that it's pretty much flawless.

With the default settings (most options on high), the game still runs very well until you get to big battles. I just personally chose gameplay smoothness over visual prettiness so I kept everything on minimum.

My system:
Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GHz
2 GB RAM
Intel 950 GMA
Windows Vista

Thank you, devs, for remembering those of us without gaming uberrigs!

My three year old laptop, single core, 2 GBs of RAM, and the baby version of a Radeon X700 runs the game well with most settings on high or very high. I was nervous when I bought the game, but had no issues.

Again, thanks to the devs!
