playable on directx 10? and integrated intel graphic card?

[Tsukimori]

my computer is pretty old 2 years or so but i can play most of the koei games... is this game playable on a computer with integrated intel graphic card with directx 10?

Well, which integrated intel graphic card? If its DirectX 10 only that may be a problem the game does list DirectX 11 as the minimum. You sound under (The rather inflated) minimum system specs, but the integrated graphics on the i7 chips can do pretty well, though I thought those were all DirectX 11, so if you're running one of the older style on-motherboard grahics or pre-i7/i5 stuff...

yeah i'm i5 so i guess my computer is pretty old for that??? will it even start for me? i don't mind putting the game in lowest graphic settings as long as it loads.

if it's not DX11 hardware, it won't run. You can try running dxdiag.exe via the start menu run command. (Windows 8.1, not sure about Win 7 but should be the same)

System tab will show DirectX software which should be 11.

Display tab you need to look at the area showing Feature Levels. At least 11.0 and above must be shown to indicate graphic chip is a DirectX hardware for 11.

Or go and buy a cheap graphic card like 750Ti. It will work..

i5 is more than enough for cpu. Problem would really be the graphics card, if it uses shared memory and your ram is below 8gb, or does not support dx11 or shaders.

it does say i have directx 11 but most of the newer games it won't start saying i don't have directx 11. my graphics is intel HD graphics 3000

As a reminder, if you have the money and time to download, you could always get it and refund later.

The first page of dxdiag only shows the version of the installed software, not the features the card will use. That's, as Rogue mentioned, on the display page, under drivers.
My guess would be it won't run. Information I found says HD 3000 supports DX up to 10.1. It also uses shared memory, which might result in bad performance if you run 4gb or less.

thank you everyone for your help :) i'm such a computer dummy, don't really know anything about graphic cards. i'll try out the game when it's on sale and pray it'll work if not i'll refund. thanks!

I was running on my laptop (i7) and the game was in slow motion, then I remembered my laptop has 2 video cards, and goes integrated (Intel HD4600) by default, so I changed to nvidia and the game then ran fine with a few frame drops with high textures, but most of the other stuff low or off (Have to try some combinations now).

So even if it runs, there is a high probability of you not being able to properly play.
