When Doom 3 first came out, CNET Labs put it on a budget PC with an Intel 915 Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (GMA900) integrated graphics chip--just to see what would happen. Our tests were purely anecdotal, and it wouldn't play at a resolution higher than the minimum of 640x480

Low scores in most tests and "crash" on another. With a Very Bad/Unplayable rating in all tests (see the next page).

"and anything below 20fps is basically unplayable, as the video output is no longer fluid and will stutter noticeably."

Out of 33 GPUs tested the Intel 915G - GMA900 is the absolute slowest on any chart it shows up on. On several it couldn't even be ranked as it wouldn't run the benchmark.

and don't let Doom 3 be the only focus. You'll see it at the bottom of the chart in 3Dmark2005 and Halflife 2 as well.
