Not supported, doesn't mean that it won't run small assemblies. I believe if
you read, you will find issues with graphics card memory. Generally onboard
graphics cards are desktop office boxes, great for word processing and
spread sheets.

Hello. What are the implications of Intel onboard GPUs been "Not supported"
in AutoCAD 2008/09 + Inventor 2008/09?
Autodesk only cite Intel 845G + 915G GPUs as "Not supported" for AutoCAD but
I assume it's genetic. Autodesk provide more feedback on the 915G GPU for
Inventor Cart Certification, with 1/3 of releases been "Recommended"
assuming 512MB system RAM.
We do run AutoCAD/Revit 2008 on Intel G965 GPUs with 2GB system RAM, which
leaves me wondering if it's a false-alarm regards Inventor on the 845G? That
is to say, is its lack of support of 845G testable?
I seem to have raised false alarms for a "graphics card [with] 256MB
[on-board] RAM" to make in-roads into SolidWorks+SolidCAM 2007/08 as testers
were happy with 845G GPU performance on a 21x part Flange Ball Valve
clip-art.
We're in the College sector. Thanks, MarkF
