Running Gunz without Graphics Card?

Would a good enough processor be enough to render Gunz graphics without the help of a graphics card? If so how good are we talking about here?

Currently I do not think so. Even the most powerful processors would struggle to replace even mid range graphics card. The purpose for both are just too different, for one to do both.

I believe they are currently experimenting with D3d in the lowest sense; too low for Gunz.

Would this result in significantly weaker graphics, or simply an inability to display the graphics?

problem

The user in the link is trying to emulate windows on his MAC in oder to play Gunz. This of course requires the graphics to be emulated too, because the hardware graphics goes to the MAC OS. That being said, his model is unable to load the Gunz graphics at all, though he may be able to see windows GUI and/or play really simple games.
