Hi,
I just installed Battlefield 3 on my laptop which is Dell inspiron15 E3521 with Intel HD Graphics 3000.Battlefield runs smoothly,but when i installed it on my PC Intel Dual Core e2140 1.6Ghz with 1Mb cache DDR2 Intel G41 Express Chipset i got an error "Failed creating D3D device of atleast version 10.0 on adapter intel G41 Express Chipset".
My question is do i need a Graphics card? or if i install Windows Vista with DirectX10,will my problem be solved?

If i need a graphics card,recommend me the latest and fastest graphics card which can run almost every game.
And which Windows OS runs DirectX10?
Thank You. :):p
 
Solution


Im still using DDR2 and runs fine on Ultra :p. But yeah the perfomance difference between G31 and Intel HD 3000 is huge. Youd be lucky if Battlefield will even support the G31 chipset sorry
