Without a dedicated Graphics card most modern games are unplayable old systems can be uneconomic to upgrade ( if you can get hold of bits )
With intel 3rd Generation HD graphics you won't have 800 mb vram and will be using system memory instead. A dedicated, or discrete, GPU has its own independent source of video memory, leaving the RAM your system uses untouched. So even your normal Ram is being " robbed"of resources with integrated graphics Vram is also much faster than Ram
Even a Low spec GPU will be a big help but putting a new Card into an old system may be problematic it would need a bit of research . I have run the stock game on a lower spec CPU than a intel 2020 2 core ( just about ) so its more about having reasonable GPU with AMD Radeon onboard graphics it was hopeless.
Investing on a dedicated graphics card would not be wasted in any eventuality
there are probably others threads on this topic with actual users specs/performance . I would be very surprised if WOS needed a really significantly higher spec PC to run over Stock game

thanks, very helpful, so i need to buy a real graphics card instead of ram, integrated graphics card sucks.
