You should be able to run it. Your GPU is below minimum though so you will get some drops here and there in more demanding settings, but you should be able reduce some of the graphics settings to compensate, and I would definitely use FAR mod with global illumination at medium perhaps.

I think you will have a frame rate which will be variable to an extent though, if you don't mind that, then give the game a try.

It'll run but I don't know that it'll run well. Could always try it and just keep your refund window in mind of 2 Hours or 2 Weeks.

Screen size? If it is 1366 x 768 you might be able to run it. Above that I wouldn't even bother. FAR might be a must too.

Thank you all for the answers :)


Okay, i tried it out with low graphic settings and FAR with global illumination at low ... FPS ist at begin 5-6 (i can live with 15 fps but not with 5...) ... are there more settings in FAR, which i can change to make the frame rate better?

Why is the screen size so important?

Screen size doesn't matter. Resolution does.

Make sure you turn AA and AO off.

That is a lower result than expected. As your laptop has both integrated and dedicated gpu, ensure that the game is running on the AMD gpu in AMD settings.
(If you aren't sure, this should point you in the right direction assuming it's up to date https://support.ubi.com/en-gb/faqs/000027100/Switching-to-the-laptop-s-dedicated-GPU/)

The resolution that you run the game at can have a large impact on performance - the GPU essentially has less work to do as it has fewer pixels to render.

I solved my problem ... i needed to tell my laptop, to play NierAutomata only on Maximum Performance :D Now i can play on solid 30-40 FPS with medium graphic settings.

Thank you for the help :)
