couger1981 89 Posted April 27, 2015 The Intel HD 4000 is a onboard GPU so i doubt it will run the game as it probably won't run any recent game.@RevolvingPrawn should confirmed this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyDriven 398 Posted April 27, 2015 It's listed on the minimum specs on steam though?no worries, I've downloaded it and it works, just need to sort out a controller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted April 28, 2015 Aha, so this is where I was tagged :p Yea, as you've found out @RallyDriven your CPU and Intel HD 4000 is enough to play it, not at highest settings or anything, but as long as you're happy with the graphics and FPS you're getting then that's what counts :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyDriven 398 Posted April 28, 2015 No I wasn't expecting any high quality, I just wanted to play it! I'll have to wait and hope for a console release to get a proper experience, thanks for the help though everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RallyDriven 398 Posted April 28, 2015 If I did that, I'd need the money to go all out, and the room to fit racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, which I don't have! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My one has the Intel graphics. It also has a nvidia quadro KM3100M (whatever that is). I have tried to get it to run with the Quadro, but its not clear to me that it actually is.In an hour or so I will try to put it onto the intel graphics only and let you know what happens.

dirt3joe 0 Posted April 28, 2015 Ok, I have Intel graphics 4600. With that its like the whole world slows down when you disable the Nvdia. Even if you go to the lowest settings. The good news (for me at any rate) is that when the nvidia high performance processor is activated you're cooking with gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
