Does the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family run DirectX 11?

[JLee178]

I recently bought Rainbow 6 Siege on uplay. I downloaded DirectX 11, but it says that my graphics card, the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, doesn't support DirectX features. Any suggestions?

Intel graphics do support DirectX. What version depends on your Intel Graphics/Processor.

Review http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005524.html Supported Graphics APIs and Features for Graphics Drivers

If you do not have the necessary version - 1) if a desktop, get an add-in graphics card or 2) if a laptop, unless you have switchable graphics, there is nothing you can do.

Hi Jeremy11,

If you want I can verify if your processor model supports DirectX 11. Please send me your processor model.

Hi,

I have the same issue - can't start the game with my i3-6100 CPU - no discrete GPU. I start the application from Steam.

Error message:

Title: Error creating DX11 graphics

Your graphics card does not support DirectX 11 features.

I know that Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 is below the recommended specification, but on the other hand I can play any game with it.

Plus, it has full DX11 / DX12 capability.

Thank you!

The game has received a huge update recently and with Intel Graphics Driver [15.45] the game starts as expected on the i3-6100.

Thanks!
