Intel's website says it supports alpha blending. Or are they different types of blending?

please read this link regarding supported video cards?

specifically the video card must be direct x 9 compatable, the card must have at least 64megs of on board ram

On board graphics do not have the power, driver set, or features to play today's current games like call of duty 2

I get the same problem with Alpha Blending.
My computer is a sony vaio laptop FS. Video card is "Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family".
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks a bunch

the dell 620 is actually a nice looking pc. I saw the first one today but didn't have a chance to crack it open. If memory serves me right you should be able to add a pci-express video card.

again the system requirements for cod 2 require a 3d accelerated card with at least 64 megs of on board memory.

so no, that sony viao won't play cod 2.

the only laptops that I know that can play cod 2 are running ati or nvidia mobile graphics.

there are no intel graphics at this time that can support cod 2.

the only onboard graphics that I know for desktops that does support cod 2 is the ati express 200 and the performance with it is not very good. lots of choppy video (lag).

ive obviously got the same problem, ive read over every1s post at least 3 times and downloaded everything people said to at least 3 times as well...ive got a SiS 760 display, anyway of playing this game without having to buy a new video card?

[jrm20]

no, you need a better video card. Integrated sucks and is not meant for games like cod2.

[bigpoppa1328]

that sucks...thanks tho

i shouldn't have bought this game. lol it's like getting an xbox 360: in order to fully appreciate the system/game, you have to buy the "right" tv (hi-def) for it to be infallible and experience it to the fullest.

i've a DELL INSPIRON 6000. can anyone help me figure out this alpha blending thing... so would i need to buy a new vid card then?

thanks to whoever replies.

Hello jaceee and welcome to Geeks to go!

The specs of your Dell laptop suggest that you either have an Intel graphics card or a ATI graphics card, depending on what model you have.

Easy way to find out is to run DirectX Diagnostics. Click start > click run > type dxdiag > click ok > click display tab. Once on the display tab it will give you the name and manufacturer of your graphics card.

If it's the ATI card try updating your graphics card driver from the Dell website but if it's a Intel card then your not going to be able to run the game.

im having same alfha blending problem as everyone else, i ran a scan of the specs for my comp and was told i have 3 pci slots not agp slot? do they make a video card for a pci slot and if so any that are good enough to play COD 2?? I dont even know what pci slots are or if i can even put a new video card in them? anyone know anything about pci slots and if i can upgrade my card with them?

Thanks for your help i really do apreciate it!!

Hello Jay75

There are still a few old PCI graphics cards around but it's doubtful that you'd get enough performance to run the game. The best option for you is to get a new motherboard that has a AGP slot.
