Graphics Card Question

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I don't really know much about the hierarchy of graphics card.

I've owned this game for about 1 year now, running on the 11 inch 2015 laptop Mac with the Intel 6000. I had emailed the ESO support about the cursor issue (different forum) and they replied to me saying they can't help me because my graphics card is not supported. I could've sworn that ESO used to support the Intel cards...? Or am I getting something mixed up here?

Also, is the Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB video memory enough (the one in the iMac 21.5 inch desktop)? I really can't tell if it's more/less than the minimum "AMD Radeon™ 5870 (1GB of VRAM) with OpenGL 4.1;"

    This has some stuff on the cursor, not sure if addresses your issue

    As for the On CPU Graphics on Intel Chips, the game does not support those although people have gotten it to run. But, for the most part, any demanding game is going to puke all over the integrated graphics and laugh while you clean up the mess.

    As for video cards, I use these charts to compare older cards with newer ones, well, this list as they changed things over at Tom's recently. Hmm, wonder where the charts went.....?

    Short Answer, the Radeon 560 should run the game just fine.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Thank you for the reply @Nestor !

    I did look at the thread and that is my issue, but the person's solution didn't work for me unfortunately ...

    The 580 runs it at 55FPS rates with ultra with 1440p. The 560 is, like, twice as weak or so. Which still means max settings for many resolutions.
