To pre-empt what is going to be the most asked question here "Does this game run on integrated graphics?"

It will probably run ok on Intel 6th gen (Skylake) integrated graphics and probably won't run acceptably on anything lower.

If you aren't sure if your card can run it you should check this list you would need around 1550 points or higher but don't take it as certain, benchmarks aren’t 100% reliable to compare.

What we can say about integrated graphics at this point is that they aren't saying it will work on them. That doesn't mean it won't, but you don't really have much standing to complain if it doesn't.

And I imagine only the higher-end (and recent) integrated graphics have a hope of running well.

Similar to XCOM 2. Hope Civ 5 performance does not suck the same way...

No. The GPU is way, way below minimums, and the minimum is based on API support, so you won't even be able to run it badly.

Thanks SamBC. I have had this big bugger for a long time. Are there any laptop models you suggest for gaming? Obviously I don't want to buy a laptop that is obsolete in a year or two. Thanks again.

I'm not the developer, but at least the game should be playable on lower settings.

It shouldn't refuse to run. I don't know how well it will run, though. Mobile variants can be a little dubious, and it's not a gaming-grade entry in the 700-series.

It at least won't refuse to run on that GPU. It has the required API level, and it is an entry-level-gaming GPU, but as it's a mobile variant I wouldn't expect high settings.

The CPU is an i7 rather than i3, but with a lower clock, so I'm not sure how that balances out.

Pretty sure that is within the minimums, CPU isn't hitting the recommended, though.
