Will Fallout NV run on my PC?

[JUST FINE]

from what i have heard this game does not run on Intel graphics card, i just bought fallout 3, and it didnt work. I got a refund, and now im debating FNV, here are my specs:

Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20 Ghz to 2.19 Ghz
8.00 GB RAM
64-bit operating system, x64- based processor

Sorry to break it to you...but if you can't run Fallout 3 then you most definetly won't be able to run New Vegas as it's built on the same engine as Fallout 3 I believe and it came out after FO3

[JUST FINE]

would it work if i didnt have an intel graphics card?

FO3 didn't work how? Didn't start? Did you do the one-line INI edit trick that is featured prominently on the Guides and forum pages on both editions? Or did you install it, start it, didn't work and issued for a refund?
The games can run on an Intel HD 3000:

So yes, your 5th gen Intel Core i5 meets the requirements more than enough.

[JUST FINE]

Yep. I tried Mods, messing with the game files, and trying combatibility mode. I spent nearly 4 hours trying to figure it out, until finally I had enough and just asked for a refund. (It kept crashing every time I hit new game)

Sadly Fallout 3 on PC is slightly buggy. Although Vegas is a step down in quality, it doesn't have the modern Windows problems that 3 has.

[JUST FINE]

Well i just got NV, so I will see how that goes

Best of luck... :) - btw your specs seem very similar to mine - I have a low/mid level laptop with 8GB RAM and i5 M430 with win7 64bit and aside from having a lower video setting (draw distance is a minor issue) it runs pretty smoothly....with no performance mods either.

Again, best of luck.

Er, no. Not even close. Your CPU is barely half as powerful than his.

Fair enough, I'm no expert, so I would think that the OP would have no problems because mine runs it quite well.

I used to run this on my laptop. Some i5 with intel HD4000.

It works. But your eye will bleed because of the low fps. But you can always set the graphic to your liking.

the game worked fine. it ran a smooth frame rate, except for a few moments when it slowed down. thanks for your help guys.
