Integrated Graphics Card vs Recommended Hardware

Download either the Make install (it’s free for non-commercial use,) or the Pro edition (which will run a 30-day trial.)

Try it and see.

This graphics version (520) is one of the newest (6th generation) chipsets, so it may be that it (or it’s driver,) have problems with older (or deprecated) OpenGL function calls.

Intel® HD Graphics 520 for 6th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors

The standards info:
DirectX: 12
OpenGL: 4.4 (SketchUp current minimum is 2.0)

But don’t take my word, test it by getting realtech’s OpenGL test and view utility:

This is not a shortcoming. Integrated graphics use shared system memory. Seeing as how your system only has 8GB, you’ll never approach the maximum for the GPU. Basically I would guess (having been yesterday researching various Intel chipsets with integrated graphics,) … that the newer integrated graphics just have the system’s maximum memory listed as the maximum graphics memory.

So, it is really the amount of system RAM that is lacking in your list of properties.

I seem to remember someone else asking recently about the 520 Intel graphics. Searching …

Okay, I think it was this post:

No actually it was this thread, and they asked about the 530 graphics:

… and I stress what I said in there re, RAM and the Windows edition.
