This game is pretty demanding on the CPU and GPU.
You have a GPU that was mid range about 3-4 years ago. Then it could play the latest games on mid to high settings depending on how demanding they were.
I am also guessing your laptop was not made for gaming. Even if it may have been sold as being good for gaming. I am assuming it is just about as thin and light as most other laptops with the same screen size. This means you will likely suffer from heating issues, resulting in the GPU and CPU being throttled back once you are playing for more than 5-10 minutes. Worst case your computer will force a shutdown after playing for awhile.
Just assuming from your GPU, but you also may suffer from long load and end turn times.
The load times will be dependent mainly on what I assume is an HDD. I assume there is a good chance your HDD may run at 5,400 RPM. This will give what now a days is considered long load times for battles. Probably around 2 minutes maybe a little more.
I am thinking your CPU is likely about mid tier and a bit dated. So you may suffer long end turn times mid to late game.
Overall it depends how patient you are and what your expectations are. I do not think you will be able to go above low settings. You will very likely suffer performance issues on the campaign map. Battles may be alright with small unit sizes, you mainly stay zoomed out, and select small army sizes that limit the number of units on each side to 20 at any time on the battle map.
I am just guessing here. You maybe able to get away with more than I stated. I am pretty sure you will have issues with stuttering and very low FPS on the campaign map.
It is also very helpful to include a bit more information about your system when asking these type of questions. There is not just one type of i5 CPU. Including the amount of memory for your computer also helps people answer a question like this. In this case it would not hurt to include if you have the game on a SSD or HDD.
If case you do not know where to find this information just search for system information on your computer.
The first thing you will see should be a system sumary. There it will list your CPU under processor. Your Ram also will be listed there.
Notebook ASUS K95VB 18.4" 1920x1080 (FHD), Intel® Core™ i5-3230M, 8GB DDR3 1600, 1TB SATA 7200rpm, NVIDIA GeForce with CUDA GT 740M DDR3 2GB VRAM, WiFi,BT,CAM Microsoft® Windows® 10 64
i often play more casual games so i dont run in problems with performance but i play this game on other pc and i fall in love with it so i was curious i can play it too on my laptop , again thank you for answer
I am guessing they may have OC'ed your CPU and it probably runs somewhere between 3-4 GHz.
Your HDD is good and so you will not suffer too long load times.
I will change my answer to low-medium settings, most on low and smalll armies you should be alright. Just expect frame rates not to be outstanding particuliary on the campaign map or zoomed in on the battle map.
I could be wrong so hopefully someone will jump in and correct me if I am.
Of course you could always get the game and see if it works fine for you. You can get a refund as long as you request it before 2 hours of play time and before 2 weeks after purchasing the game.
TW: WH 2 should have similar results or be a bit faster.
>This game is pretty demanding on the CPU and GPU.
I dont think so. I've seen it ran fine on Phenom II x820 (2.9 GHz) + GeForce 650 Ti Boost + 4 Gb DDR2 on medium settings on 1680x1050. No lags or stuttering unless you zoom in at maximum during battles.
So far as I can see, your graphics card is going to be the issue here. Your CPU performs similarly to the minimum req processor, according to benchmarks online but the GPU is pretty underpowered for this game, and frankly most mainstream games coming out.
Unfortunately, and I know this isn't what one wants to hear as it can be a heavy life financially for most folks these days, your laptop is starting to enter the end of its useful life in terms of gaming. You don't need to rush out and buy a new one now as it will continue to run lots of older and indy stuff well, but it might be time to start thinking about saving up for an upgrade if you are interested in big developer titles like Total War. The good news is that manfacturers are finally starting to come up with decent budget gaming laptops, so if you need a laptop for work or school, getting one that can power it's way through games is more attainable than ever.
Good choice I suspect. I have a GTX 760 which runs it easily on High, but the GTS 760 is an unusually capable card, and the rest of the PC is beefy in comparison it it.
Better to do that. Or you can buy an actual gaming laptop, just need to wait for the new wave of Coffee Lake mobile CPU, will see a shake up in price on current gaming laptop scenes.
An actual 4 core (non U) CPU from 6th gen and a min MX150 /GTX 960M would be what you are looking for. There are 4 cores 7th gen and GTX 1060 6Gb laptop for around $1,200 that would be very good for 1080p target.
The price drops are already happening over here ( your aussie too if im not mistaken ), at least in WA they are already having clearance sales on ROG gaming laptops at the local harvey normans etc.
it's still a laptop though :(, same money spent on a desktop would yield a better PC with far less heat issues.
