You won't be able to play the latest titles, but at least you will be able to play an art game from 2016 every now and then. If you want to be able to play other games than Minecraft, which frequently rely on graphics, a GT 1030, for 100 bucks, might also work for you. You could just buy a Nvidia GT 720, for example, which supports OpenGL 4.4, a way newer version, and which you can pick up from EBay for less than 30 bucks. I know what you’re thinking, aren’t those really expensive? Well, yes, but also no. If you have a desktop, this problem might be fixed in another way: buying a new graphics card. Apparently, you seem to really have a good processor in your computer, at least for the time. I guess Minecraft relies on single threaded processor more than graphics. I would expect the average person to have quit already because of the horrible framerates you must have been getting… I do have one laptop from before 2009, which does probably have HD3000 graphics, but I decided that that computer was unfit to play Minecraft on several years ago, as the frames per second frequently started to become seconds per frame. Something I am more surprised by is that you managed to actually run Minecraft for this long with graphics this old.
One solution *might* be to switch to Linux, as they tend to have support for obscure hardware, but windows usually does too, so I would really research that before doing anything. The exact problem lies in the fact that there have never been dedicated windows drivers for HD3000 that support the newer OpenGL versions. To be clear: your computer doesn’t even officially support windowns10 and most, if not all modern games wouldn’t launch, as quite a lot of them require the latest version of OpenGL and DirectX12 (HD2000 or HD3000) It also seems like there are a few people on this server who are less old than your computer Looking at version numbers, it seems like the integrated graphics you're using were no longer supported when I bought my computer. I also really doubt this is used by all "windows computers that aren't brand new." In the gaming community, I would have a really old computer, with the motherboard and processor being from 2014 (With the i5 4670 being first released in 2013.) It all runs fine. 4.0 was released in 2010, not too long after 3.3. This incompatibility does indeed only apply to "ancient" computers, I think everything made after 2010 should work fine, as I think it requires OpenGL version 4 or higher. This does indeed mean that older chips can no longer support it, as it now requires a newer version of OpenGL. In 1.17, the entire rendering system has been overhauled. I wrote a longer post, to see you have already figured quite a lot of stuff out.
