Will it run it?
Hello there!

I've been thinking for a long time about buying this game, but since I normally play on a low-spec laptop I wasn't sure if it would even run. Here my specs:

Intel Core I3-6006U CPU 2.00 GHz
8 GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 520
250 GB SSD

Yeah... I know it sucs, but it has been running games like AC Black Flag, Shadow of Mordor, and some others with specs equal or a bit superior to Elite Dangerous, so I still have some hope!

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to play this game on high quality, but performance issues will be occure if some other players are around and on landable planets.

You won't be able to run Horizons, the base game may "work", though with severely degraded performance. The integrated graphics part is entirely unsupported and if you run into issues arising from that, you won't get tech support.

It wont run.

Minimum CPU : quad core. Your CPU : 2 cores.

Also, your integraded GPU doesn't have dedicated memory and thus taps into you 8 GB or main memory. It's slower than dedicated memory, and also limits available memory for the rest of the system. And well, it's not a killer GPU to start with...

Simply put, you may be able to play the game, but chances are you won't, and even if you can launch it, it's gonna be a very frustrating experience...

That's gonna be a hard no. You'd be lucky to get even mediocre performance without having to go down to low grade graphics on a terrible resolution and even then it will be a gray area in terms of performance. You're system is gonna be choked on all corners. The game requires 6GB RAM, but you're 8GB is shared with your integrated graphics, the game requires a minimum 1GB graphics memory, so you're already down to 7GB to push ALL background processes, as well as run the game; so in reality you'd be attempting to game on 1GB RAM. You're on a dual core processor, whereas it calls for a quad core. Your system is gonna be struggling to breathe because it just doesn't have the performance, probably overheat from all the bottlenecking causing the system to throttle down and lag even more. You're probably gonna get terrible FPS, micro-stutter, and graphics artifacting left and right.

I'm on an I5 4460, 8GB RAM, and an 8GB RX580 and I even push past the line sometimes. They say 6GB Ram is minimum, but after playing on-and-off for almost 5 years, I'd say the minimum RAM should be 16GB if you don't have a modern CPU+GPU combo, because right now my RAM seems to be my bottleneck.

And it all honesty, why are you trying to legitimately try any game on integrated graphics? That's really only good for low qual. games like Minecraft and mostly for generic computer use (YouTube, facebook, HTPCs, etc).

^^ Oh, please do ignore this tripe. You do not need a "minimum" 16 GB of RAM *at all.*

Still, I would strongly advise against trying to run this on integrated graphics. My wife did for the longest time, and I have no idea how she put up with it. I mean, it did technically *run,* but it did so at a terrifically puke-tastic frame rate. Something like 15-20 fps. Now, that was on a CPU with an older iGPU than yours... I think it was an HD 4400. So there's a *chance* yours is better in the graphics department. But yeah, if you're dual-core, I'd say that's a no-go.

The minimum RAM requirement is stated to be 6 GBs of RAM. My old computer can run the game with 4.

You can get a laptop capable of running Elite Dangerous in its current state for about two to three hundred bucks, if you know what to look for. But I wouldn't recommend trying on yours considering the CPU limitation. That little thing won't be able to push a decent frame rate, and it'll go supernova trying.

I was speaking from experience. I have 8GB of RAM, but I'll peak RAM usage before I ramp up my CPU, meaning I could OBVIOUSLY use more RAM for this game. And it's a lot less of an upgrade both in cost and labor to perform the upgrade, to upgrade you're ram than it is to do so with a CPU or GPU. Even general consumer level PCs are starting to come with 16GB from factory, it'd be a good QoL upgrade for your PC in the long run. And I even said, if you do not have a modern CPU+GPU combo, it'll certainly create a little buffer zone before overloading the CPU. Third, do you really need to automatically turn to derogatory name calling for someone just stating his opinion based on his experiences? It's really unwarranted. If he IS going to try gaming from integrated graphics, he damn well COULD use more RAM than a standard computer, because the RAM is SHARED with the iGPU in order to create his system's "video memory".

Well, mind if I settle the debate ?

OP's rig is obviously a laptop. An old one. They don't need to upgrade their RAM, they need a new rig. Upgrading a several years old, non gaming laptop to run the game would be a complete waste of money.

Also, what matters is not a zillion GB of RAM, or a killer CPU or whatever, it's a proper balance of all. A non balanced rig will have a bottleneck somewhere, and it will suck. Or rather, it will only be as good as whatever component is bottlenecking it.

So, OP, if you dare, try running the game. It might work. Most likely, if it works, it will be a terrible bad experience, but it may help you figure if you want to invest some money into a new machine.

This is not bad advice, considering you have a two-hour refund window (supposedly). If the game doesn't run at all, or runs very poorly, you can exit gracefully. Moreover, you can determine if this is the kind of experience you feel you'd like to buy a new computer for.

Alternatively, I recommend Evochron Legacy. It's a fantastic space sim capable of running well on a wide variety of hardware configurations.

This was the closest "benchmark" I could find. It's essentially the same GPU with a slightly higher clock. Probably the more important thing to note however is, this is a 6700K CPU which is going to make quite a significant difference.

With some astute searching, you can find a really old demo too.

That looks surprisingly playable. Bear in mind, though, on my wife's iGPU, the game literally took 30 minutes to load.

Yes. She actually played the game this way. She's a nut.

Keep in mind, this is also with 16GB of RAM. System memory is shared with integrated graphics to create more faux v-ram. This is about equal peformance to my old 2GB GTX 960, which isn't necessarily bad. 40-ish FPS is certainly playable but I reckon he won't hit anywhere near that , probably in the high teens to mid 20s between his less than lack-luster CPU, half the RAM, and slower clock speeds. Not really a good example, but we know it's at least playable on machines with about twice the performance of the OPs.

I second that with one grain of salt. Evochron is fairly enjoyable, and certainly worth looking into... But only if you use a qwerty keyboard, or intend to not use a keyboard at all.

Havinf played Evochron Mercenary for a while, I was put off by the way the game registers key mappings. I do play on an azerty keyboard, and sure, the game maps the keys properly... But in the option, it still displays them as they would be on a qwerty keyboard.

So, when you're looking for "what the heck is that function bound to, already ?" in the options, you either need to know qwerty layout by heart or alt-tab to a picture of one. I've asked the game dev if that annoyance still exists in Legacy, and it does. He didn't seem to care much either, as there are workarounds, but they are really not intuitive. In the end, he missed a sale, as I really couldn't be arsed with that.

So, Evochron, yes, but careful what you play it with.
