Without a dedicated graphics card, it seems you won't be able to play the game.
Reduce your costs and enjoy smooth gameplay using a 2010 to 2011 GPU.
They mentioned the mantel will eventually be included. A size around 280 or 280x seems reasonable, especially once the mantel is added. On my 7970 during HTCPC runs for BF4, especially at ultra/high settings above 60fps, it averaged around 90-105fps. My 290x did slightly better before I started crossfiring them, but it wasn’t much better. Interestingly, the 7970 with a mild to high oc performance was actually quite competitive. Overall, if you can’t afford a 400$ 290, a 280 or 280x at 200-250$ or 300$ could work well as a replacement, provided the mantel is included.
