Intel integrated video chips are not supported by most of today's games and never were designed for use in games. They just can't do something they weren't designed to do. The most a Intel chipset could do was shader 2.0 last I checked and did that poorly.

You answered your own question. You need a working driver but there isn't one with Windows 8. You should be posting this in the ATI forums.

Ati send me the anser this beta drive should work.

the weird thing is that thay don`t host the driver at ati but at guru3d.com for beta testing only.

it works on my system

Shader model 5 is the newest one, so you can't have 9. I guess you have DirectX 9.0.
What graphics chip do you have?

@lightningman:
According to Wikipedia 82945G Express Chipset Family has a GMA 950 GPU which is Shader Model 3.0. 82945G is over seven years old (from 2005). Could it be that you have a dedicated graphics card in your PC? Check for something with GeForce or Radeon in the name. If not, time to upgrade your machine ;-)

Intel GMA, HD2000, HD3000, HD4000 can work if you can manually guarantee the minimum of 256mb of video memory, either via graphics driver or via bios setup.

Check the internet for what you can do with the hardware you have.

ANYWAY those integrated chips, I can assure you, will lead you mean performance. I've tried disabling the nvidia chip on my i7 2670QM with 6Gb DDR3 and SSD, just to see where HD4000 can lead.

Nowhere was the answer...

Hi,
I have the same problem. Originally, I had an integrated graphic card, I replaced it with an MSI N210, later with a GigabĂ­te Radeon x300.

According to the specifications, both are enough for FS 2013.

What did I miss? What should I change or replace? Thanks for any idea!
