Symptom(s):
Grand Prix* 3 (GP3) game does not allow 3D accelerated mode to be selected.
Cause:
The game checks the amount of local video memory and will not allow 3D acceleration to be enabled if less that 5 MB is reported by the video driver. 4 MB of video memory is reported by the graphics drivers for Intel® 810/810E/815/815E chipsets.
