You need to get a graphic card that isn't the chip on your motherboard which is the intel family chip u currently are using. If you have it installed maybe you need to run the drivers.

I did a system requirements test on the web and only my CPU failed to meet the minimum requirements, according to the test. Will I really not be able to run the game?

I am using an AMD C-50 dual-core processor 1.0ghz and Raedeon HD 6250  graphics. Would I be able to run the game or would it be impossible?

 Inside the folder libraries/documents/diablo III 
there is a file named "d3prefs.txt". Open it.
Change:
- DisableTrilinearFiltering "1" (from 0 to 1)
- HardwareClass "1" (from 0 to 1)
Save the file and close it.
When you launch the game, you will still get the same
 “Unsupported graphics card” error that pops up. Press esc
 and the game will load.

The framrate trick really worked. I have an HP2000 the graphics card is great just the cpu is low and before this lowest settings didn't touch framrate option, it lagged especially when clans are close i just changed the frame rate to 15 and 1 and its smooth as butter and the resolution stayed the same 1366x766 awesome hint! Thanks now i can play again.
