No, you can overclock your processor (though not by much without over-heating implications) but a graphics card has software that coorelates with the hardware on the card. (Pixel shader 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 for example)
If you do not have the supported hardware on your graphics card, then you have to upgrade. There's no trick around it, and if there is, it would not be good for your computer physically.
If you're uncertain whether your built-in card can support Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium, goto www.systemrequirementslab.com and download the small active-x file, run the software and check that game to see if your computer can handle the graphics demand.
Cheers

Whats being checked are the versions your graphics card uses. By versions I mean DirectX, Vertex and Pixel shader, etc. These things are coded directly onto the card and can not be updated. It is also possible that the demo itself simply wont work with your brand/model video card. This is likely due to some design aspect of the graphics engine which will most likely be addressed in the final release.
I have seen people post on forums about how to rig a game to work on an unsupported card. However, this often results in poor performance and usually requires a great deal of trial and error as the precise method is specific to the game. There is no catch-all solution here. I wouldnt hold my breath for anyone to do the work just for a demo.

Kinda. while you are going to play video games on a HD computer screen with a 1920x1080, 1920X1200, or a 1680X1050 decision then you certainly will prefer a good video card. On a smaller computer screen you will get away with an ok video card. on the minimum you could look into the two a Radeon HD 6850 or a popular GTX 560 (no ti on the tip). those taking part in cards are in the $a hundred and eighty funds. in case you prefer extra FPS or you prefer to coach the settings up bigger then look into a extra high priced card. related to the Processor... there is not any difference in any respect between the i5-2500K and the i7-2600K in gaming. the money saved on the 2500k would be lots extra appropriate spent on a extra appropriate portraits card. there's a difference between the 1st and 2nd era processor in overall performance. even with the undeniable fact that there is not any longer lots difference in cost. certainly, the 2nd era processors would be speedier and that they are going to cope with video games slightly extra appropriate. i actually think of Intel could stop the 1st era Quad-middle processors (i7-960, i7-870, i5-760, and sell them at a chit.
