Hello. I recently bought Prey with Steam. It will play, but it's very, very jerky and the quality is at the lowest settings possible.

My system specs are as follows:
CPU: 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo
RAM: 2 GB 667 MGz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics:
Intel GMA 950:

Chipset Model: GMA 950
Type: Display
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of shared system memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

I assume my problem is with my graphics card...here are the specs for Prey.
System Requirements

Minimum

CPU Speed: Intel Pentium 4 2.0Ghz / AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor
RAM: 512MB system RAM
Video Card: 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible 64MB video card with latest manufacturer drivers (see supported chipsets below)

Sound Card: 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible 16-bit sound card
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP with latest service pack installed

Recommended

Any help is appreciated. :)

Yes, most likely. GMA 950 is not the best 3D graphics around and it's 3D capabilities are quite limited.
But also I'd suggest you to check if DirectX support is turned off in the VM settings on the Mac side, Prey runs best if using OpenGL.
