Re: Dragon Age Inquisition EXTREMELY low frame rate (PC)
You're going to have a lot of issues running the game without any dedicated graphics. Your processor also falls below the minimum requirements for an AMD (Quad core @ 2.5 GHz)

An "R5" is a low end device, quite unlike a mid-level R7, or a high level R9. This game needs the higher rated options from the mid-level (R7 - 260 and upward, DESKTOP video, as I recall).
From the official Dragon Age website, the requirements are:
Minimum PC Specs
OS: Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD quad-core CPU @2.5 GHz / Intel quad-core CPU @2.0 GHz
System RAM: 4 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 4870 / NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Graphics Card Memory: 512 MB
Hard Drive Space: 26 GB
DirectX 10http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-260-vs-Radeon-HD-4870
(I verified that neither the R7 250, nor the 250X was as powerful as the 4870. I have no recommendations for laptops to make. I am negative toward those as game platforms for many reasons, not the least being total lack of standards.)
Just for fun, I tried to run the game off my integrated graphics (Intel HD 4600 on a core i5 4690K). To my surprise it was actually playable at 1280x720 on the lowest setting. It wasn't very pleasant though. (Note: The Intel HD 4600 can't run Knights of the Old Republic, a game from 2003, on the highest settings without framedrops at 1920x1080.)
But even on my Radeon R9 270X I find performance in this game to be a bit lacking on high settings. Wooded areas are especially problematic, but at least I get a consistent 60fps in desert and indoors areas. I would consider the R9 series to be the minimum you should aim for during this generation.
Your question was answered. That video is just too slow for this game.
