Need high graphic to play ?
Minimum require "GeForce GTX 950", i got laptop with Intel(R) HD 630. Can i run/play it with reducing graphic setting or installing a mod that boost FPS ?

Maybe? I know there are a lot of settings to play with and it's possible to make the game so low res (via a slider whose name I can't recall) that you will barely even be able to see what's going on, but I bet it's a breeze for hardware to process.
No promises but you might be able to find a middle ground that runs well and is still playable.

Edit: "Render Scale" that's the slider. if you set that to 5% it looks like you're screen is 80x64 pixels or some super low equivalent. That's too low of course but maybe at 25%-50% you could still see the action...

It is playable on potato for sure, but choppy frame rate and unclear graphics are not your friends in combat or in building. If you don't have gaming hardware I'd recommend looking into cloud gaming. GeForce Now is free to test and supports Valheim.
I seriously doubt integrated graphics could handle this game well. You might be able to get a marginally or maybe even totally playable framerate most of the time on minimum settings, but performance suffers a lot during windy weather and around lots of building pieces and smoke particles, and I'm guessing your system won't handle those well at any setting. The game is cheap and worth owning for if you ever do have a better system, though, so maybe give it a shot and see.

Exactly, dust, rain, fog those are problem for my graphic and i doubt if there's setting for those that why i asked if there's mod or something. this story is same as Lethal Company, the game didn't had much setting for it to get better fps so had to download a mod which reduce graphic a lot. To be honest Valheim and The Forest is best survival game i ever seen.
HD630 isn't going to get it done.
l think the update changed some things anyway. I had no trouble running Valheim on my Gforce 1070 until the update, and now it's choppy and looks like the framerate tanks, but the widget that tells me the framerate says it's always 55 to 60, Sure doesn't look like it. And I'm just starting a new world in the meadows; no big bases or other players or anything. Pretty poor performance so far. Maybe they'll tweak it after feedback.

+1 mistlands ran fine but i'm having a similar issue.

I had this same issue after the Ashlands update. I had made a new world and was still going through Meadows and Dark Forest so the problem wasn't even the Ashland biome itself. I reported it in the Bug Reports channel, saying that the game had always run fine for me before but now, after the Ashlands update, my FPS was randomly tanking when nothing special was going on at all.

Turns out, the problem was that I have my game capture set to keep the last 2 minutes of gameplay and , while this was always fine before, after the Ashlands update it was too much to handle. As soon as I shut off the auto-record the problem stopped.

Edit: I guess my point is... the game as a whole is more taxing on your system since the update.

I run it on an M i7-8850H with HD630. It is playable with most settings turned down at 720p. I also have an integrated nVidia card but it gets throttled due to heat and actually performs worse. Sometimes have to restart the game to boost the performance as the fps drops slowly over a few hours of gameplay, closing the game and reopening usually fixes it.

Intel UHD 770 cant run this game so yours wont be able to unless you're okay with 50% res scale at 1080p and low settings and a ~30 fps experience and the game looks worse than minecraft.

After the update its noticeably choppy on a 3080 / i9. Mainly around my base. Never used to be like that.
