Well googling it, its an onboard video chip and as you can see from the link it will utilise processor power far more than a separate video card.

So I would suspect that its not that good for AH, you need a separate video card, not one built in to the mother board

There is no such thing as a good onboard video device.

Yes, but I don't need high graphics. Will it work with setting turned to low but not "planes are blurs and ground is a flat green square" settings.
