Can I run this game at decent FPS?
I would like to try this game but I don't know if I can run it well. I am worried about this because I recently bought another game that I thought I met the minimum requirements for, but it only ran at 10-20 FPS and I had to wait to get a refund.

I used http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri to check, but it said I don't have enough Dedicated Video RAM (512).

I have Intel HD Graphics 4600, which is integrated graphics.

Basic information about the computer:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 16.0 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

Any help would be appreciated :)

My integrated graphics properties say I have 1792 Shared System Memory. What does this mean?
-=SOF=-WID99 Jun 21, 2015 @ 6:55pm 
it means your potato chip is stealing from your main system ram to create video ram ..slow DDR 3 64 bit video ram

thats how integrated chips work ... thats why for gameing you buy either a gameing laptop with dedicated gddr 5 ram for video they cost over 1500 bucks or when ya buy a desktop system you buy a video card that has dedicated gddr5 ram on it

what you have is for general use and only light gameing if its a laptop ...let me guess is it a Dell ?
