Video Card - Requirement

[Draphoelix]

So.. I have a laptop, and I'm wondering if it can handle Left 4 Dead 2.
I checked the requirement, all seem to be fine except for my Video Card.

What I have: Intel(R) HD Graphics (Core i3)
Minimum Requirement: DirectX 9 compatible video card with 128 MB, Shader model 2.0. ATI Radeon X800, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better.

Will it work?
And what will happen if it doesn't meet the requirement?

look at this list - the 6600 is several tiers higher then the integrated intel graphics, so you probably can't run it

I wouldn't be so sure, as per intel's website the i3 HD Graphics has:

Video Memory - Up to 1.70 GB
DirectX Support - DirectX 10
Shader Model Support - 4.0

Any card with shader model 4.0 should easily run a game that only requires shader 2.0.

Depends on how much ram you have available.

Edit: Operating System: Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows Vista64 / Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz
Memory: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista
Hard Drive: 7.5 GB Free
Video Card (graphics): DirectX 9 compatible video card with 128 MB, Shader model 2.0. ATI X800, NVidia 6600 or better
DirectX: 9.0c
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

Those are the full req's for the game and they aren't that bad (this is the minimum). My guess would be that you will run it, but it may be slugish even on low, and it may lag, OR you won't be able to run it at all ^^. Try to find a demo or borrow a game before you get it, just to make sure.

Hm... but if I'm able to run Dragon Age II: Origin on my computer, would that be enough for Left 4 Dead 2?
Sorry, but I find it hard to compare video cards. The names make no sense (to me)
