Intel Broadwater

Intel's Broadwater GPU uses the Generation 4.0 architecture and is made using a 90 nm production process at Intel. Broadwater supports DirectX 9.0c. Modern GPU compute technologies are not available. It features 8 pixel shaders and 1 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support).
