    That's the integrated graphics on some intel i5 and i7 processors. In general they aren't great for gaming but most games would be someway playable with low settings. It would depend on what resolution you play at also.

    A cheap graphics card would perform a lot better though.

    Laptops and gaming generally don't mix. You should still be able to run it anyway. Mess around with the game settings and you might get decent performance.

    You should also check device manager to see if there is a discrete graphics card installed.
    The Intel graphics has to be there because it is part of the CPU.
    There's a good chance there is a dedicated card also such as an AMD Radeon or Nvidia Geforce that just might need drivers installed to utilise it.

    According to this No..
    Anno 2070
    The strategy hit Anno 2070 can quickly bring the HD 4000 to its knees. At average presets and 1366x768 pixel resolution, the game is playable at first glance with a 28 FPS average. Once you hover the camera over major settlements, however, the FPS range can quickly drop to single digits. If on lower options, gameplay becomes much more fluid.
