Integrated graphics solutions are designed to supply basic computing graphical needs cheaply and with low power consumption. They are good when you need a computer for just basic tasks such as working on the desktop, browsing the web, viewing videos, and playing less demanding, simpler games.
For more serious-minded gaming and other intensive graphical applications tho they fall far short and won’t be able to keep pace with their bigger brothers (Nvidia/AMD) in the dedicated/discrete card arena.
The rest of your system may be up to snuff but this matters little in PC gaming where GPU is king and determines whether you will sink or swim when confronted with a real challenger.
Optimized poorly or not, they did not design Grim Dawn for low end graphical solutions such as your integrated graphics. You do not meet this requirement and nothing is going to change this fact unless you take your gaming needs more seriously and shell out for the hardware to handle the task.
if one component does not meet the minimum requirements, the entire system does not meet the minimum requirements, pretty simple actually
I have CPUID, which tells the specs of my PC. It says my video card has 2172 MB s of memory - Grim Dawn’s minimum requirement is FOUR times less than that.
seriously dude, give it a rest. You do not meet the minimum requirements, end of story.
The amount of RAM is not the only thing to consider, the actual GPU speed is a factor as well and more important, yours is too slow
So, my pc meets the minimum requirements
in a world where a truck meets the requirements for a jumbo jet, just because it has the same amount of tires, maybe… in the real world, not
Go to options>>video>>window mode>>, use the pull down menu and then try "Windowed (Borderless). You can then go to >>options>>screen Resolution and try some of the different settings and you will see different screen settings for each individual screen size. Try all the ones that match your laptop. If you’re playing on STEAM, then open STEAM>>settings>>In-Game>>"In-game FPS counter so that you can see if your frames per second are changing. I found it easiest to place the FPS counter on my bottom left because it’s hard to see if placed at the top. Then start adjusting your settings, and if none of this works then that’s about it.
Thank you for actually answering and not being rude. I’ve tried all of that.
You’re welcome, and I’m sorry nothing I suggested didn’t work. Here’s a video on how to maximize Intel series graphics including the HD Graphics 3000. The idea is to try to gain as many frames as possible so that you can at least play the game. My son has a laptop with an Intel graphics series GPU and he was getting around 20 to 24 fps with Grim Dawn, without having done anything to boost his performance. He instead purchased a gaming laptop! The video solutions are quite reasonable and should be given some attention before giving up.
