Check this thread. If what is said there is true, then it's Intel that needs to fix the drivers.
Would recommend getting a different video card if possible.

I'm trying to track down where I originally red the issue was tracked back to Intel. I'm little concerned that the statement It's a bug with the way Intel is handling OpenGL was in the (now gone) CB forums. Tex has been spotted around the forums and may be able to shed some light on what the precise deal is.

Thanks for the link, seems they're working on an fix.
If they just stop supporting the card properly (no matter how 'well' Intel handles OpenGL or not, fact is that now the game looks like garbage when it looked very nice before i17, on the same computer), I'll sadly unsub. Already delayed preordering GR because of that, the day I was gonna preorder I ran Test and saw how crappy the gfx became.
LOL I finally, finally get back from training and am all stoked because AT LAST I can check out I17. All excited, been waiting better part of six months and what feels like YEARS for GR. Now....I'm going to be forced to cancel, this time for good, looks like. This game went from looking great to looking like a bag of smashed *******. Honestly.
I KNOW our graphics were outdated and tired and kind of silly looking, but even that was better than it looks now. It looks like it isn't finished.
Couldn't even really play it.
I read here that the buck has been passed to Intel, but the only thing I can say to that is that the game looked fine BEFORE I17.
I don't want to have to quit. I loved this game, and have been here for a good bit, now. I've looked for solutions, tried to figure out why there are no reflections, why everything looks almost cell shaded bad, that and a ton of other things. Some kind and wondrous soul please, please tell me there's a fix for I17!
Stand UP.
FIGHT BACK!
Yeah, I did the new Posi TF today and I liked the TF, but the graphics were terribad. I was quite happy with my previous gfx, especially since I know integrated GPUs suck, but hey, I could see shadows, reflections, it even surprised me, especially when setting aniso filtering to 4x and smooth textures (the screenies from the link in my OP are with aniso off on Live, so my game looked even better than that, I dunno why I was with aniso off in the pics).
I hope they fix it soon, but considering how LONG they take to fix simple bugs, I'm a bit hopeless, this doesn't look like a simple issue.
And nerdraging obviously, posting about this everywhere 
When will the problem with Intel GPUs be fixed? I already reported this on Test, and now I wonder how long will I have to live with crappy game graphics because you guys changed the setings?
You can see pics comparing i16 and i17 here. The 'crappy' screenies are from the Test Server but I just logged in live and it's the same thing, no matter how much I up my gfx settings.
I hope this gets fixed soon.
