Graphics Card issue?

So yeah, typing this for my GF on her account etc.
She is having an issue with her current pc she just bought. The graphics card is well beyond the minimum requirements mention and overall the game runs well but it has an issue of framerate when she walks around. The game always brings up a window stating that the graphics card does not meet minimum requirements and that it may cause issues if she plays the game etc.

Anyone else experience this issue? Her graphics card is an Intel HD 520 and it's drivers are up to date. My main question is what is exactly causing this if the graphics card meets the requirements? And whether or not the game may damage her pc?

    I have a similar issue, with an Intel HD 5500 graphics card. How this happens, I do not know, yet I can tell you I've been playing for an entire year on my computer and it has suffered no damage. Personally, I believe it is simply that the program does not recognize the graphic card, thus considering it too weak. Does the computer say such a message with other games or programs? For in my case, a similar message of "Your Card does not meet minimum requirements" appears when I launch Skyrim Special Edition or Blender.

    I haven't seen any other issues myself. Thanks for coming in and confirming this though!

    As far as other games go I downloaded and tested World of Warcraft on her pc as it was a general graphics test and it performed above my expectations and some google searches of checking the differences in graphics cards led me to believe it was something along the same lines as your conclusion.

    I just wanted to make sure that I was not overlooking anything especially with the risk of overstressing her graphics card etc.

    Again thanks for giving some confirmation here!

    It probably just gives that message because it doesn't recognize the graphics card and/or driver. I've always gotten that message.

    I somtimes get that message but when I try again a little later it still works, so if you've only tried it once trying it again might work.

    you might want to roll back the drivers to an earlier one, last time I updated the driver for my graphics card my computer kept crashing so I had to roll it back, It's about 3-4 years old and apparently the latest drivers wasn't compatible with the license or something, also It's extremely unlikely but deleting and reinstalling the drivers might solve the problem if they are corrupted (but you have to make sure your computer is connected to the internet when you do that).

    But it sounds like it's probably what Shadoe said.

    As long as you can get into the game and do things, you're probably safe ignoring that message. If your graphics card was seriously deficient, the game literally wouldn't start at all.

    I've heard issues kinda similar to this as well. I've had friends say they weren't able to play certain games for graphical reasons, but they had a more than compatible GC. In their cases, the graphics card was way to good and it didn't recognize the indepth detail they gave. If this persists, try running on the lowest settings. (I know that may seem like a bummer, but that might get you to play it again for longer and possibly with no interruptions. This happened on FFXI and on Star Wars Kotor or Swtor from what I remember correctly.
