Paranormal Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Is my Laptop good enough to run this game right now? These are my specs (I hope this amount of information enough, I am not an expert when it comes to computer specs) System Manufacturer: Acer System Model: Aspire E5-575 BIOS: V1.18 Processor: Intel® Core i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 8026MB RAM Page File: 5596MB used, 9215MB available Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 12 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled Miracast: Available, with HDCP Microsoft Graphics Hybrid: Not Supported Last time I have played this game was early alpha 16 and even though it wasn't perfect it was definitely playable. So I have opened this game again a few days ago and the game feels much worse even though I play on lowest settings(I think). My fps usually varies from 20-35. I guess game is playable when I do easy tasks like building or chopping down the trees. The real laggs comes when I have to face zombies or other enemies or when I am entering new areas on the map and the game takes long to load.

skullpoker Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Microsoft Graphics Hybrid: Not Supported If your i5 is a CPU rather than APU, not going to work well at all. If it is an APU with only 8192 RAM, it will work OK but you won't get steady FPS. If you really want to game in any sense beyond playing WoW, you're either going to want a desktop for $800+(if you know exactly what you're doing to cherry-pick parts) or a better laptop than that.

SylenThunder Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Depends on whether it has an actual GPU or not. I have one of those with the API, and the game is playable, but the FPS is in the 20's. Some of them come with a 940m, and that would be OK. 8GB RAM is entry-level though, and near the min spec for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadamier Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 All that may change when Alpha 17 hits. Check your drivers again. If it was playing fine in early alpha 16 it should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go read the official minimum spec here. Then take a look at the recommended spec. 4GB is below the min spec. 2. 5-15FPS is not anywhere near what most people would consider "playable". Anything under 30 is not desirable. This has been true for any game that wasn't in a web browser since the early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdSteelRain Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The Acer site says that laptop has "Intel® HD Graphics 520 DDR4 Shared graphics memory" for graphics. This is not going to give you a good experience, but it might still be playable. Things might improve as the game is optimized, but you're not going to get to 60 fps. If your main interest is building, instead of fighting hordes, it'll probably be ok; I know I'd find a frame rate in the 30s with low quality graphics too frustrating. In the end, it's really a question of what's OK to you. If you have a choice, switching to a gaming desktop will be better (even the older graphics cards, like my GTX 970, will be far better than what you're running on the laptop.)

Fox Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Without knowing what kind of GPU you have, no one can possibly know how well or even IF the game will run at all on your laptop. You can find out simply by running dxdiag and go into the Display tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is no dedicated RAM for the device, you can pretty much give up on getting a decent FPS on most games made since 2010 that have halfway decent graphics. Your FPS will be in the 20's with low settings at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
