graphics driver dell 780

Question

I have a dell 780 midi tower with windows 10 pro 64 bit on it, service tag d9nt05j. I installed Sony studio platinum 13 and when starting this program I get this error:'Error: Unsupported OpenGL versionHitfilm Plugins require OpenGL 2.0 or above...Current hardware uses OpenGL 1.1'A search on google shows this is related to my graphics card. In device manager the display adapter is listed as Intel Q45/Q43 Express chipset with microsofts' own drivers version 8.15.10.2702 dated 2013. At the dell website I first tried the dell system detect but that came back with 'No driver updates found'. When I looked myself however there is newer driver Version: 8.15.10.2182 dated 2014 but when I try to install it I get an error saying 'the computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software'. I thought it may be connected to the chipset drivers being wrong so I installed the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility but it made no difference. There are three different drivers for the chipset but I don't know which one I need. How do I find this out and how do I solve this graphics driver problem?

You have to use a REAL GPU.

ASUS Silent cards fit in all models with X16 video slot. Meaning it doesn't fit USFF because USFF has Zero Slots. These cards fit and work in every dell I have ever tried.

They fit into every Dell Except USFF.

thanks for your feedback, what you say kind of makes sense. I have another graphics card for this dell so I will try that.
