Intel Q45 Express Chipset Games?

[pthom17]

Hey all, I like to play games on my computer but I find troubles with my graphics card. My graphics card is an Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset and the chip type is Intel 4 series Express Chipset family. I really would like to know if my computer would be able to run the game Streets of Rogue before I buy it to ensure I am not wasting my money. I do not know much at all about graphics cards but the minimum requirement for the game is "DX9 (shader model 3.0) or DX11 with feature level 9.3 capabilities" and I am not sure whether my card qualifies. Can anybody tell me whether or not it does?
Thank you for any help!


Edit July 7th 11 am: I said screw it and bought the game... It works!!

first what is your full spec?have u tried running any games on this machine before?

Your IGP is DX10 with Shader model 4.0 so does technically meet the minimum requirements.

That said, Intel graphics drivers tend to be rather buggy and stop getting updates after a couple years. However if it doesn't work you could always buy a $10 AMD or nVidia card with such low requirements!

I have ran games on this machine such as Gary's Mod, Terraria, Shellshock Live, and Rotmg.
As for specs, the machine runs Windows 7 with and Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.0 GHz (2 CPUs) processor with 8192MB of ram. The card is an Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset with 1695 MB of memory.
Hopefully I have provided enough information, thanks!
