Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
The publisher lists Intel HD Graphics 4000 (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc 130T GPU: PASS. Intel Arc 130T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc 140T GPU: PASS. Intel Arc 140T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc Graphics 130V: PASS. Intel Arc Graphics 130V is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc Graphics 140V: PASS. Intel Arc Graphics 140V is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Graphics: UNKNOWN. Intel Graphics has no tier yet, so it cannot be compared.

How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
