yesterday, i was testing my games on can i run it. For NEED FOR SPEED, It said i need 512 MB of video Ram but i have 1.8 GB so it is good to Run. But For Battlefield P4F, i need Dedicated Video RAM of 256 MB but I only have 32 MB, so I can't Run it. What is the difference between these Tow. I am so Confused, I can Run NEED FOR SPEED ON HIGH BUT NOT BATTLEFIELD P4F. EVEN THOUGH NEEED FOR SPEED IS VERY HIGH TEXTURED

Well, in that case I would just say that you should try updating or reinstalling the intel graphics driver then. If there is an older driver, you could try installing that one instead. Sometimes new drivers aren't as good on certain games as the old ones were.

Well they are the same thing, so i assume what is listing as "Video ram" is using shared system ram.

Oh, then that explains it. I think the Intel HD 4000 comes with 32mb of dedicated vram. This integrated (not dedicated) graphics "card" is supposed to use system ram to make up the difference. I'm not exactly sure why BF P4F won't work, but my guess is that it requires the graphics card to have 256mb of dedicated vram, of which you do not have.

Which NFS are you playing? There are so many.

Do you have any video card in your system? If not, only your integrated video from the processor will be used, and that will not allow you to play BF4.
If you have a card, most likely you still have the integrated graphics activated in Bios.

Oh, well I think nfs world was release back in 2010, so its requirements wouldn't be as high as BF P4F. Which NFS most wanted are you playing? The on released back in 2005? or 2012? I would think you could play the 2005 one with no problems, but I'm not really sure about the 2012 version.
