Bioshock 2 running on Intel i3 and Intel HD Graphics

Bioshock 2 is perfectly playable on the i3 chipset. As seen in the video I was running the game in 1366x768 resolution. The game itself was on Very High graphics! I had a few things turned off that did not needed to be turned on. Just copy all the settings that I used. The 3D preference for the Intel HD Graphics control panel was set to balanced. As expected Fraps took 1 or 2 FPS away.

My computer specs are:
Intel i3 Dual Core 2.53 GHz (M380) Processor
Intel HD Graphics
4.00 GBs RAM
320 GB Hard Drive

FPS without Fraps: 11-17

FPS with Fraps: 10-16

It is strange as hell why Bioshock 2 works so well on the i3 even though it says it is not a compatible chipset! Any questions send an inbox and don't forget to like the video and subscribe! :D

How do you think this will run for me? I have a 370m which is clocked at 2.4ghz instead of 2.53, and I have 4gb of ram.

@siriusgamer No difference, should be fine. :)

@DressyJarl52954 Have you tried running bioshock 1?

[DressyJarl52954]

@siriusgamer No, but I have it on Xbox and its way better than 2. :)

@DressyJarl52954 I have bioshock 1 for pc, and it seems much laggier than what you have in your video, even though it was released before by a couple of years. The places where I get the most lag is near smoke, ice, and looking down at water puddles. The settings i have are the same as what you had for this, except vsync, dx10 surfaces, and global light was off.

@siriusgamer Beats me, don't get me wrong this games frame rate gets real dodgy in some places, like smoke and water like you said. I cant really help you :/

[DressyJarl52954]

@bijeau99 It should work fine on high if you have the same RAM, Processsor etc. Your Graphics are shared like the Intel HD, so it looks to me like it shouldn't be a problem.

how would it work on a AMD radeon 6520G

[bijeau99]

hey could you tell me what you turned off? it would be a big help
