Graphics Card Support

I am considering purchasing Dominions 3 for my laptop, but wanted to know if my Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express graphics card will be able to handle the game's graphics. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

The game needs OpenGL support, but isn't resource-intensive otherwise. I don't know anything about that spesific card, though.

The easiest way to test it is to download the demo from http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/Dom3/6.htm . You should try the demo out any way.

The game's graphics are extremely minimal and an integrated graphics chip handles them fine. You will have to run on low to moderate detail settings, but this affects nothing except the amount of trees and grass on the battlefield and flashing lights when mages cast spells.

The most important thing is the screen resolution rather than the performance of your video card. Dominions really likes a big screen because there is a lot of information to display.
