Can a Intel HD Graphics 4600 run Wallpaper Engine?
The Intel HD Graphics 4600 clears the minimum bar for Wallpaper Engine but sits under the recommended spec. It is playable at around 19 FPS at 1080p on high, and you will get a smoother result on the low preset.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 12 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 7 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 0GB you are under the 2GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
