This is why I hate integrated cards. Huge headaches. Like ZERO suggested, did you reinstall the drivers for the card? Possibility is when you wiped out information, you also wiped out the 210's drivers causing the card to work without the proper information.

Your video card in CSS only provides optimal FPS. The higher the FPS the better quality of gaming. To answer your question, you can. However, when in game if you haven't done it already type in console "netgraph_3" or 2 i think? and it will display all types of information; FPS (frames per second) choke, loss, etc. Your video card + internet connection is the source of that information. If you have an FPS of anything lower than 50 (although people nitpick and say 100) that isn't good. I've been playing CSS with integrated intel video cards for a loooong time so trust me you can. Your computer just will run craptastic.

No need for driver re-installation,for the 210,because I threw it out,because it was shot.

Apparently he realized that the 210 was overheating and decided to just get rid of it. The correct solution would have been to upgrade the cooling.However you can send it to me if you want becuase I might be able to use the thing. :wtg:

Well,after close examiniation,Ive come to the conclusion It's just crashed for some bizzare reason or its internally fried.Its thrown away,so I can't send it to ya zero,maybe unless I find it,sorry :(.

On board cards are usually a no go for playing most games. I would try it out and see if you have any issue (extremely low fps) if you do i would just go out and buy a new graphics card. Since you were running a 210 you can just pop another cheepo card in, i included a link below to a card. If its a system that you use very often and plan on playing newer games or playing games on high i would go for a better card. Next time before you throw out a card you should check if its still under Warranty most cards have a 1-3 year Warranty.
