Bypassing Minimum requirements

[LocoLope]

Hi guys, I'm a long time player of Aoe2.
Thing is I have a really old GPU, it's a 9500GT, and the game won't launch because it does not support directx11 and has less than 2gb VRam.
I'm well aware that it does not meet the minimum requirements, and it's not in my possibilities to get a new GPU, but i'd like to give a try, I played a lot of games far more demanding than Aoe2DE.
My question is, has anybody found a way to bypass minimum requirements?? Is it possible to disguise my GPU as another one?
Thanks in advanced!

For what it is, this is a ridiculously demanding game. These are my system specs and it struggles (my system is about five years old though).

This are my system's specs:
Processor: i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics: GeForce 780 GTX

I failed the first benchmark test I did, with all the settings set to low. I only later passed barely by making sure I had no other programs running.

I don't quite understand why. My system runs much more graphically impressive games than this with ease.

Even if you bypassed the requirements the game would probably be unplayable. I'm running a low end GPU (GeForce GT710) and get 20-30 FPS on 1v1 games with low graphics settings. GPU usage is constantly at 100%.
