Can I use Integrated graphics instead of Graphics Card?

Mar 27, 2014 9:47PM PDT

I am having Windows 7(x86) with Intel Core i3 Processor.
I downloaded NFS RIvals yesterday.When I run it,it showed up that "ensure you has a supporting graphics card of lest 512mb."As I donot have a graphics card I moved towards the BIOS and changed aperture size to 512 mb ,in th Graphics Menu.Then also it showed again.I am asking that can we use Integrated graphics(Core i3) instead of Graphics Card.
