The Sims 4 and Intel HD 4000 graphics.

Will The Sims 4 work with Intel HD 4000 graphics? The system requirements say Intel GMA X4500 or better, but I have no idea which is better.

How much dedicated memory does it have ? Does it support pixel shader 3.0 ?

Just google your exact card to find out. There's usually also sites that compare chips towards each other so you can check if one is better than the other.

According to a comparison website, it should be fine. There was something about shading on the Intel website, and there was a 5 in the shading column. I don't understand what it was, but I assume it's the thing you mentioned and that 5 is better than 3. Thanks.

Hi! I also have Intel HD 4000, and unfortunately it looks like the dedicated RAM is only 64 mb. Is there anything I can do to increase that or to still be able to run the game? All of the other specs look fine, and it supports pixel shader 3.0.

No, you can't increase it without getting a new graphics card (desktop computer) or a new computer (if you have a laptop, which you can't upgrade)

Did you try the demo ? Maybe it runs on low settings.anyways

Just curious if you have Sims 4 now working with the Intel HD4000 graphics card? I am thinking of buying a new computer with that care and would greatly appreciate your advice. I thought by now you may be able to tell me if you have the 2 working and if you are having any problems. Thanks!!

I used to play the sims 4 with that card, but it crashed a lot, so I don't recomment it. My laptop has two graphic cards, that one and NVIDA, and I highly recomment playing the sims, and all games, with NVIDIA, cause I don't have crashed at all anymore. (personal experience)
