If nothing else works, try configuring the game to use DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 11.
(this is sometimes helpful for people with older graphics or Intel HD graphics...)

To change the game settings to use DirectX 9 do the following:

Launch the Registry Editor (open the Start screen/Start menu, type regedit and press Enter)
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\Graphics
Double click on the name RenderAPI.
Change the RenderAPI value from 0 to 9.
Click OK and then close the editor.

You're going to be limited in terms of how well you can run the game (it's probably likely you'll have to run it on lower settings) with intel integrated graphics, but you might be able to get it running.

How much ram do you have on the system? Because It depend on how much the on board video ram can use. Like if you have 4 gig or ram. It will be 1 gig for video at most and 3 gig for system would be slow a bit. If it windows 7 64bit or windows 8 64bit to run smooth require 4 gig of ram so your laptop should have total of 6gig or ram. Try to set your windows visual to class view which also improve performance. In game Tomb raider try to leave most at normal. Turn of shadows to off, no screen effect , no motion blur, v sync to off. Lower screen to 1280x 720 or to 1024x 768. Then run benchmark in the tomb raider and see what the frame rate. Update the video driver, defrag system should improve performance. Please give me a feed back!

i have 8gb of ram and windows 8.1 64 bit

I think you can run it. I installed it on my wifes acer aspire r14 tonight and it ran fine. That uses Intel HD Graphics 4400.

although still pitifully slow the 4400 is about 25% faster than the 4000. I have the faster 4600 and would not play this game even on that if someone paid me.

We know the difference. Her words were, "It's beautiful, but what's the point?" The story wasn't interesting enough for her and then it wanted her to remember stuff... ahhh women. Much love for those of you women gamers out there perhaps you are as perplexed as I am how somebody can dislike video games. She did enjoy the telltale games but TombRaider too much of a game.

I ran this on normal with filters off just fine on intel HD 4600

[Starving Autist]

so ice decided to build a gaming computer budget around 600-800 so wish me luck, this shouldnt be an issue anymore

and your idea of fine is probably 20-25 fps at a low resoltion. and the OP's 4000 is over 30% slower than the 4600.

Before you build your new system. Do you know what to buy yet? Intel or Amd and Nvidia? If you want now. Or if you could wait wait for until 2016 for the new broadwell cpu and ddr4 ram???

I am going to use a build and also 5 of my friends have built fantastic machines so they will help me as consultants on parts and building instructions

My computer is a custom build PC to tell you the truth the price is a little higher cost then name brand computers! Example my cpu is an intel i5 haswell quad core 3.4ghz the price is always 219.99 retail price the unlock K is twenty dollars more. Which I brought it 11 months ago. If I wait at the end of the year with the same amount of money I could got a haswell boost cpu. same price but 100hmz faster which is 3.5ghz instead. And if you are not planing to buy now I think you should wait 2016 for even better cpu and ram speed of ddr4 at same price? Same goes for the video card!

im not waiting till 2016, ill build the computer and if its a significant change i will switch out the parts in 2016

He's just being silly. Hope your new build goes well. :)

I build computers for years so switch out parts in 2016 if there a significant change is not good for your money.
Example CPU intel i5 4690K 3.5ghz , Z97 LGA 1150 MB AND 16 RAM ddr 3 1600oc those are the core for your computer. Cost you 240+130+150 (barebone) total $520 plus a decent video card $150 , harddrive $100, Blue Ray drive $60 and Case with powersupply 600watt $150 without OS. Total $980 with out OS now for this one.

IF there a significant change CPU??? Just the Bare bone of parts of 2016 will break your bank.
You lose another Cost you 240+130+150 (barebone) total $520 just for that upgrade assuming you plan to that your way! Instead just upgrade the video card it would save money and performace is not just the CPU it also rely on video card most for game! Please ask me if you need to be answer?

the thing is i actually wanna play high quality graphics during 2015 so

[Starving Autist]

I think you're missing some punctuation and all i'm saying is i'm going to build the computer as soon as possible and modify it as necessary.

How do you feel owning a New computer do you like the spec of the one I suggest or buy a console like Xbox ONE or PS4 which ever is cheaper which they got Tomb Raider Definitive Edition which would be cool for PC!

[GoBucks76]

I'm sure you can build a decent gaming computer for $600 (assuming that you go with a lower-end AMD or Intel cpu and a mid-range Nvidia or AMD graphics card) that will run Tomb Raider quite well. I built my current system 3 years ago and while I probably ended up spending around $800 for the system (case, power supply, motherboard, ram, gpu, hard drive, DVD drive) to replace an aging AGP-based system that I had been using since my Windows 98 days...

Here's a few links worth looking at if you need a few suggestions:

Also remember that you'll need to get an operating system for your new build - Windows 10 will be coming out sometime next year and will be worth looking at based upon what I've seen so far, but I've run Tomb Raider on Windows 7/8/8.1 without any issues. Realize that you'll probably have to settle for a lower cost graphics card at that price range right now, but you can always replace that card later on with something more powerful if you really need to do that.

My current desktop (AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition, 1 GB Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics card, Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H motherboard, 16GB DDR3-1333 ram, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) can run Tomb Raider at 1920x1080 at ultra/ultimate settings (but I usually run it without TressFX to avoid the performance hit...) The Radeon HD 6870 was a upgrade from a Radeon HD 5470 that I originally purchased with the new build.

My system is fine i5 4670 non K didn't want K because I didn't need over clock. Graphic card ok but would upgrade. In tomb raider setting I optimized to my video card can preform


My setting on Tomb raider is custom setup uncheck the Post processing it help alot. Bump up Texture Quality to High
Texture Filter to Anisotropic 16x
Anti Aliasing to FXAA
Shadows to Normal
Shadow Resolution to Low
Level of Detail ultra
Enable High Precision
Tessellation off
Hair Quality , Refections , Depth of Field , and SSAO all normal
runing fullscreen and Exclusive screen all check
resolution 1366x768
no V-sync
Did not like the motion blur effect or screen effect turn it off because at some point of the game I need it turn of to see what I doing.
My setting game run like a charm. very HD look too. Game run fine for me. [/quote]


What GPU do you have? I have a laptop with an i7 4700HQ 2.4GHz, 8GB, a 3GB DDR3 GT750m and play with those settings(lower anisotropic, higher shadow resolution) or close with a frame rate between 50-60fps. Your GPU must be a bottleneck on that system if you're playing at 1366x768, which is what I play at.

Your GPU must be a bottleneck on that system if you're playing at 1366x768, which is what I play at.

Yours a laptop and mine is a desktop. My resolution 1366x768 is the max my monitor can handle. Your game run at frame rate between 50-60fps is super great. My video card is not that great compare to the lastest model. I had it for many years it run around 42.9 to 54 frame rate. It just a GT430 card. But my Cpu is better than yours I think it i5 4670 non k 3.4ghz their is a big different of 1ghz and it has boost to 3.8ghz. [/quote]

My CPU is a bit slower than yours yes. Mine has a boost to 3.4GHz and it runs at 3.4GHz 95% of the time. But your GPU is a big bottleneck. I would totally recommend getting a new one and even getting a 150$ card would boost your performance a LOT. Just a recommendation. :)
