The GMA X3100 is the mobile version of the GMA X3000 used in the Intel GL960/GM965 chipsets and also in the GS965 chipset. The X3100 supports hardware transform and lighting, up to eight programmable shader units, and up to 384 MB video memory. Its display cores can run up to 333 MHz on GM965 and 320 MHz on GL960. Its render cores can run up to 500 MHz on GM965 and 400 MHz on GL960. The X3100 display unit includes a 300 MHz RAMDAC, two 25–112 MHz LVDS transmitters, 2 DVO encoders, and a TV encoder. Under Windows, the driver supports DirectX 10.0,<ref name="Intel_guide">

In May 2007, version 2.0 of the driver (xorg-video-intel) was released, which added support for the 965GM chipset. In addition, the 2.0 driver added native video mode programming support for all chipsets from i830 forward. This version added support for automatic video mode detection and selection, monitor hot plug, dynamic extended and merged desktops and per-monitor screen rotation. These features are built into the X.Org 7.3 X server release and will eventually be supported across most of the open source X.Org video drivers.<ref>{{cite web |author=Cook |url= https://lwn.net/Articles/233868/ |title=Free software drivers for the Intel 965GM Express Chipset |publisher=Lwn.net |date=2007-05-10 |accessdate=2009-09-17}}</ref> Version 2.1, released in July 2007, added support for the G33, Q33 and Q35 chipsets.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2007-July/000318.html|title=X.Org mailing list: xf86-video-intel 2.1.0|author=Eric Anholt|accessdate=2007-07-09}}</ref> G35 is also supported by the Linux driver.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html|title=Driver Documentation|accessdate=2008-02-01}}</ref>

The drivers were mainly developed by Intel and Tungsten Graphics (under contract) since the chipsets' documentation were not publicly available for a long time. In January 2008, Intel released the complete developer documentation for their, at the time, latest chipsets (965 and G35 chipset), allowing for further external developers' involvement.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=984&num=1

The performance and functionality of GMA processors are limited, attaining the performance of only low-cost discrete GPUs at best and very old [[DirectX 6]] GPUs (Such as the [[RIVA TNT2]]) at the worst. Thus, they're sometimes even dubbed "Graphics Media Decelerators" though the actual performance depended on the CPU as well as RAM amount and speed. For example, an [[Atom N450]] CPU and GMA 3150 will perform comparably to a RIVA TNT2 PC with a Tualatin Pentium 3, even worse, the GPU was sometimes even underclocked, hindering the already poor performance even further.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i5_2500K_GPU/10.html |title=Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge GPU Performance Review |publisher=techPowerUp |date=2011-01-02 |accessdate=2014-01-13}}</ref> Some features of games and other 3D applications may be unsupported by GMAs, particularly older ones.
