Intel HD 4000
Will this game have support for Intel HD 4000 graphics cards in the future? I really want to buy the game :(

Considering my GTX 1080 ritually hits 95% usage your HD graphics will fail miserably.

This isn't a graphics card. It's integrated video and most likely will not be able to run many games

Well no ♥♥♥♥. I know what intel hd chipsets are. My dedictaed high end card is pushed to its limits granted ultra settings 3440×1440.

Maybe and a very small maybe 240p 30 fps on hd 4000. Lol.

You don´t have a Graphic "Card"....

Is that normal for high end cards to hit that?
Because this game runs fine on my GTX 1060.
Ultra settings. Ultra wide 1440p. 120 fps. Dips to 90's at times.

HD chipsets will ♥♥♥♥ the bed bad in this game.

YHe's running ultra settings on a 1440p ultrawide. It's completely not normal, and is a resolution not commonly supported. This causes extra work, which explains why he's getting that high %.
Probably could tweak the settings a bit to cut that in half.

At the OP, you can play most average games from around 3 years ago with a max FPS of about 15 with that inbred chipset. You're not going to be playing something like NMS with it.

I happen to have a laptop with an i5-4120 and the inbred Intel HD4400 I can test on. Will post later how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it will turn out for you.

Actually at 1920x1080 (1080p) I still get 70% usage with 5.7 gb vram. 3440x1440 (ultra wide 1440p) forces a slight overclock and sees 95-100% and 7.2 gb vram.

RAM usage tops 5 gb at start up but drops to 2.5 'ish after the game loads up. I find that odd but meh. My cpu never hits 65% on any core (r5 1600x).

I see similar results on my other cards. The game tends to hog up alp the gpu's power. Lol

Loading Shaders - FPS 30. (Setting was capped at 30 by default)
Shaders screen is black with the points passing by. No colors.
3 minutes later...
Entered game. Everything is white. Cannot see jack except for the compass.

Adjusted a couple of settings and restarted.
Now FPS is 36.
Don't even see text for loading shaders. Just black.
Entered game after a couple of minutes I think. Still black, but I hear ambient noise.
Hit Esc more menu, still black. Killed client.

Attempted to make some adjustments to the settings file manually. NO GO.

When I got the white screen, I had hoped it might work. That was at 720p, which is smaller than my screens default resolution.
Switching to 1366x768 (default) was a solid no-go with the completely black screen.

Went back to 720p with some adjusted settings, and gave it another shot. nope

Even gave it a try with 1024x576. Everything on lowest settings. No dice. Client switched it back to 720p automatically.

TLDR
This game is completely unplayable on the 4400. OP has a 4000, so they can pretty much guarantee that they cannot play the game on that.

No it will never work, it does not support the correct opengl version, you need a minimum of a 7th gen intel cpu to play on hd graphics and it will only run about 25fps at 800x600 as i have tested it before

TL;DR if you don't have a discrete graphics card don't expect to play any game at a reliable resolution or frame rate. Expect most games to not even launch.

Indie games like minecraft sure. AAA titles like Witcher expect piss poor performance if you can actually get them to run. Procedurally generated games like NMS expect them to crash constantly and slide show fps assuming the dam thing will even launch.

Get a GPU dude. Intel HD 4400 in 2018? Really?
Subquake Aug 4, 2018 @ 11:19pm 
Intel HD 4000 usually is in old budget grade laptops, that barely can run anything. Don't expect developers support such low end CPUs. As others mentioned, it's not even a graphics card, it's a part of your CPU, that is dedicated for video processing for your basic needs such as running small apps and your desktop graphics and windows.

Usage is not a bad thing, in fact it's a good thing. How did this idea that high GPU usage is bad start?

Increasing image quality and /or resolution increases usage, and it's not a bad thing to put your GPU to work. Again, no idea why people think its alarming when you see it peaking at 99% or w/e. Oh noes, my GPU is being used! I don't even
It's only bad when one part is maxed while others have plenty of room to spare. It helps show you where you may need to look for future upgrades. That said this game has optimization issues among other things so it's not a good title to test your hardware on.

I absolutely hate seeing a part that isn't being used fully. If you get less than 100% usage your settings are too low, you have a bottleneck, or something else is arigh.

Wont happen . even a Ryzen CPU with Integrated VEGA is like 2x-3x stronger than a hd 4000....
