When I started videogame on my computer, I used i3-3217U with Intel HD Graphics 4000. GPU works at 350MHz (1.05GHz with Turbo). Runned nicely on 50FPS.
When I tried passing this game to a friend, from the very installer, the game has been installed and all it's requirements have been fulfilled. Then when I started it said that the current videocard (the one of my friend's) is not sufficient to run the game. So I looked it up and she has i3-380M which has GPU that has 500MHz clock (667MHz with Turbo). This is where I get confused.
Her videocard is called Intel HD Graphics
, mine is called Intel HD Graphics 4000
. The game said that it's minimum requirement for videocard in Intel's line is Intel HD Graphics 3000
. I compared her integrated videocard and the HD 3000 to one another and they're fairly close.
Would it possible to lie to program a little bit? To change name of videocard in it's eyes to Intel HD Graphics 3000? She would like to try this game, but it doesn't seem to work :|
I know that certain videocards work differently, but I don't think world will explode when some calls will be made differently.
