Hi Guys!

I have a HP laptop, with following specs:
Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 Dedicated Video RAM 128mb
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
8.0 GB
Win 10 64 bit

Is there any chance the game will run? :)

Can I run CIV 6 (specs inside)?

windows 10 64 bit
AMD A6-1450 APU quad-core 1.0 GHz (turbo up to 1.4 GHz)
Radeon HD 8250 1.00 Ghz
RAM 6GB

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I have twice as much RAM as I need to run the game, all I can think is my GPU doesn't support DirectX 11?

Its a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

I suppose there's no way to get DirectX 11 to run on that? Time for a new GPU then?

it needs Direct X 11 even if you could get it running it would be unplayable with that card

System specs:

Intel Core i3-6100U 2,3 GHz (3 MB L3 cache) with directX 12 support (Its a dual core with 4 threads)
Intel HD Graphics 520 (up to 3136 MB dynamic Video Memory)
6 GB DDR4 Ram
Win 10 64 bit

it will run but it won't run well particually in late game expect low frame rate and long turn times

I have had it running with similar specs it works but gets quite slow in busy screens late game.

it will load but GPU won't handle late game very well and AI turn times will be very slow too.

The game does not run on my laptop. As I checked the system requirement, all should be fine except that my processor is Inter (R) Core (TM) i7-5500 CPU @ 2.40 GHz, which is below 2.5GHz requirement. Can it be the problem? If so then I may need to wait until I buy another laptop lol...

The processor shouldn't be an issue any i7 is better than the required i3 the intergrated GPU in that should at least run it too you probably have a different issue like the windows defender issue or lacking an update for windows 8 try some of the stuff in the troubleshooting thread.

Hey guys, first want to thank everyone for their helpful answers. I was wondering if anyone can give me insight on how well (if at all) my rig should be running Civ VI. My specs are:


Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

RAM 16 GB

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 14393), 64-bit

I seem to crash constantly and can't even make it through a full benchmark without the game crashing. I have the latest drivers for everything and Windows Defender turned off. Is Sandy Bridge really that outdated for this game?

Just in case it helps someone, my old laptop does in fact run the game, but it takes a little effort to get it started the first time since the proper GPU doesn't run by default.

My specs (as shown in the performance information and tools screen):
Latitude E6420
Win 7 Pro 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz
8.00 GB RAM
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 1696 MB
694 GB HDD

Now, before you really start wondering how that integrated graphics crap is running Civ 6, my laptop actually came with a NVIDIA NVS 4200M installed as well. For me it was just a matter of setting the better GPU as default for Civ 6. Otherwise my specs are sort of okay for the game.

If your pc is like mine, you can set a different default GPU by finding the .exe file, right-clicking, and then selecting the 'run with graphics processor' option. Set the NVIDIA (or whatever hopefully much better GPU you might have) as default for Civ 6 and now you've copied exactly what I did. For me the .exe file is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Binaries\Win64Steam\CivilizationVI.exe

Basically, I got lucky that my laptop came with a secondary GPU installed, that it supports DirectX 11, and that NVIDIA is going out of their way to support Civ 6. Doesn't run very fast though. In the benchmark I got a wonderful 10 minimum fps, which I guess means I'm probably stuck to playing smaller maps with lots of water, unless I'm feeling really, really patient. At least the title screen runs at full speed.

Playing nicely (albeit a bit more slowly after 300+ turns) with core2duo, 6gb RAM and GT 630m. Its well below minimum specs, but its quite enjoyable and pretty (of course, settings on minimum)

You should be able to run it at pretty much max settings with that, unless you are willing to spend £1400 you aren't going to get a substatial upgrade for your processor so there is definatly something else wrong. Does it crash on other games as well or are overclocking at all particuallly memory or video memory?

A G4400 is abit slow but it will work, might have long turn times. RX460 is above the recommended so will run great on it.

So, here's a crazy question, are people with Radeon graphics having a problem? There are more people with NVIDIA graphics, so it would be expected that there would be more complaints by NVIDIA users, but if very very few people with AMD Radeon graphics have issues, then that implies that there is a driver issue on the NVIDIA side.
