Spring is using your "Graphics Chipset" (aka "Intel(R) HD Graphics Family") instead of a proper GPU. Do you have an actual GPU in the machine or just the Intel stuff? might be related to http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=32023

so i have the intel(R) HD graphics family and a Radeon HD 6470M(i didnt even knew i had that one). That could be what you are saying, but how do i make it use that GPU?
