Judging from the frame rates in this game, it’s a good idea to set the graphics details to “medium” or “low” if you’re using the Intel HD Graphics 2000 on the Core i5 2500 or Core i5 2500. Meanwhile, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 on the Core i7 2600K had no problem producing more than 30 FPS across all settings in our test.
