Why cant my system run it....Alien swarm?
I have a simple problem that i cant seem to understand. Sorry but i dont know much abt Pc's.
My system specs are:
Cpu: i5 580 @ 2.66-3.33 ghz
Ram; 6gb
Intel Hd graphics......dxdiag said i have directx 11...win 7
So i cannot play alien swarm b/c I should have a minimum of directx 9 video card....isnt directX 11 better....?
Oh and I think the graphics is Integrated....is that the problem?

yes, integrated graphics is the problem, because sophisticated video games require a dedicated graphics card.

that being said, intel HD should meet the minimum requirements for your game. Have you tried steam forums? I'm sure people who sell the game should be able to have an answer

yes the game runs but its really slow....

you can try lowering the resolution

if that doesn't yield playable frames then your only option is to get a dedicated GPU
