Intel(R) HD Graphics.. Can it run ark?

[Wutangkillah]

I have read a lot of reviews about the cooked/uncooked files and still stuck with this problem. I downloaded it upon release and haven't been able to play. Would simply like to know if I can or can not play this game. My direct X version is currently 11 but DDI is 10.1. Any help would be greatly appreciate it.

it will only work properly on Dx11 cards with W7 SP1

How can I check if I have w7 sp1 or something of that caliber?

I have windows 7, but not sure what sp1 means.

I have an i7 5500u integrated graphics direct x 11, I just get a video card failed error and restart every time I try, if any one else with similar setup is running this I'd love to hear it. I play eso on medium settings and almost double draw distance with almost know lag (occasionally when 5 or more enemy's spawn at the same time and recovers almost instantly). Just not sure if it's my laptop or a bug in the game. Let me know what you think? Fairly new to pc gaming so any help appreciated

You won't be able to play it at this time. Intel has no dedicated memory and runs off slower a system ram.

I could be completely wrong but I believe I have 6 gb of ram and run at 2.4 ghz peak at 2.9. Again new to pc gaming so I could be misunderstanding what I'm looking at, thanks guys

Short answer is no, Intel Integrated cards are not designed with gaming in mind, a dedicated GPU is what you really need. A dev did post in another thread that it would not work with one of these setups.

cmille41 - what you are seeing is the system ram. Take a GTX980 graphics card that has 4gb dedicated memory on the card itself.
