No Intel video chips as in Video Cards?

Post by ssefeaba »

Does it mean Video chips as in Video cards?

I'm unable to even launch the game on the laptop I'm currently on(quite annoying), I'm unsure what type of video card it has as well.

But on my desktop I have a Radeon graphics card, but I think I have some Intel hardware on it as well. Will I be able to run in it on the desktop?

To find out which graphics adapter you're using, right click on your desktop -> Properties -> "Settings" tab -> "Advanced" button -> "Adapter" tab.

If it says something like "ATI Radeon (whatever)" then you should be fine providing the card has enough power on it. If it says "Intel (whatever)" then its unlikely you'll be able to run the game, but you can look here and try what it says.

yeah it means video hardware, Intel are the bane of games companies and now micro$oft by producing onboard graphics chips that are really, really rubbish if you want to do anything more demanding than play pong o.o

But, but, but I like pong *pouts* :p

Anyway the Intel graphic chipsets are not really intended for games, although they work (a little) in some cases.
