New to For Honor, problems with GPU

[Undi]

Hey guys, im new to the game and im enjoying it atm.
Hope you can help me with an issue I have. The game works, but at low graphics since my PC is kinda like an office PC, but everytime my game crashes because GPU overloads, and I dont know how to fix that.
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you and happy gaming :D

Still not complete info. Doesn't say anything about your GPU.

For honor lists a minimum requirement of a GTX660 with 2GB VRAM, last I checked none of the onboard cards meet that requirement.

Odds are that you simply can't run for honor on your current system.

I dont know, If I couldnt run For Honor, it wouldnt even start and let me play, bc I progressed a bit in story mode.
But damn, if what youre saying its true, then its really sad news for me...

Just because the game boots, does not mean it is stable or that your hardware is capable of handling the game itself.
It can be a ton of things, from running out of vRAM, too much power draw, overheating, incompatible drivers, the list goes on.

The only times games will outright say 'your hardware is insufficient' and block you from running it is if your card doesn't support some of the specific technologies used, or the game doesn't recognize your card, and even then it sometimes lets you try anyway.

Still, if the info wasnt enough, here is what it says
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB (7.89 GB usable)
System type: OS 64, processor x64

Your system is using an integrated graphics adapter, an Intel HD Graphics 630 to be exact. The capabilities of the adapter fall significantly short of the minimum requirements (A GTX 660 or higher).

A GTX 660 boasts a 3DMark GPU score of 5003.
The Intel 630's 3DMark score is 847. Whilst these numbers might seem a bit arbitrary, that should still give you an idea of how underpowered the adapter is for handling 3D applications compared to what the game recommends as the minimum.

If there's no possibility of upgrading, I'd recommend going into your options.ini file (under My Documents\my games\for honor\ and changing the "TemporalUpscalerPixelRatio" setting to 5, when you're ingame the options screen only lets you take this option down to 25, but editing the options file directly allows you to lower it to 5 at the minimum, which will boost performance a bit, unfortunately there isn't much else you can do, and if this doesn't stop the crashing then it might be time for an upgrade. As you said, you're on more of an office machine, it's not exactly made for gaming.

You should probably give up on playing competitively on your pc because it just is not possible.
