Can I run holdfast?

[DrummondC]

I know very little about computers, but I have a laptop with these details:

Processor: Intel Pentium, CPU N3710, 1.60 GHz, Quad Core.

8GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics 405

Would this have any chance of running holdfast?

Thanks,

[Le Peep]

I don’t think Holdfast is a super demanding game. However, I am not familiar with the parts you have listed so I am not sure. You could always join the discord and ask the devs

[DrummondC]

Thanks, where can I find the discord details?

I would safely say no probably not, since that CPU was designed for tablets or extremely low powered laptops, not to mention Intel HD Graphics 405 was designed for the same thing as well. Now you can always buy the game and try running it at low 640p/720p and see if you can hold a passable performance level, and if it doesn't then you can refund it as long as you don't pass more than 2 hours of playtime.

Another solution for you if you wanted to play this style of game, you could also get Mount and Blade Warband with the Napoleonic Wars DLC.

you can always purchase the game and try it out..to see if it runs. if so keep it. if not you can refund it

I wouldn't refund it if I were you this game is awesome keep it and invest on better specs. Pcpartpicker.com will help you learn about Pc building.

Also you need a gpu what you have the intel hd graphics 405 is an integrated graphics and not for pc gaming. The cpu is very old school and won't work for these new generation games. For example to give you an idea my PC Specs are,



CPU Amd fx 8350
GPU R7 370 4gb
Mobo m5a99fx pro
Ram 8gb ballstix sport
1tb Hard drive seagate barracuda
fan cooling to cool the cpu I have a Noctua Nh d15
plus you need a monitor to game get your self like a 1920x1080 its good for starters
plus you need a full tower or mid tower case to screw on the motherboard in case and connect the sata cables and power cables too because you need a power supply too fpr all builds.
plus you need to purchase the operating system windows 10
plus you need to know how to apply thermal paste on the cpu and buy thermal paste too
plus you need have a compatible build in order for the system to work.
plus you need to boot your computer to see if the parts didn't arrive dead on arrival which is a hassle especially if you buy online in places like new egg, amazon, other comp part sites.
plus you need to carefully place cpu in mobo socket and then attach the cooler to the cpu from. All of this is if you do it by your self but you could buy parts and go to a frys electronics and they set it up for you but computer parts and cost of labor for the installation from frys electronics for computer your looking around at spending $1500-1900 if your american.
plus you need an optical or laser gaming mouse, or else you wont be able to do anything in game example razer naga or msi
plus you need a mechanical keyboard

Then after that welcome to #pc master race

its an old build but I run 45-60fps in game
