Can I run this game?

[Uryon]

I know you're probably sick of this question. But please take the time to help me if you know the answer.
I've completed both games on PS4 and finished all trophies, so since I had nothing left to do on it, I'm buying them on pc. But I know those games aren't that well optimised, so I'de like to hear your opinion. I know there is a demo, but I hate how it is considered as a standalone game in your library. Make it look dirty, I prefer to buy the game straight if I can.
I'm not good at computers, so I'm gonna say the specs I think I have to give :
CPU : intel Core i5 4200U
Ram : 8go
Graphic card : Nvidia GTX 1050 ( or Nvidia Geforce GT 740M... I don't know I see different informations )
Motherboard : Hewlett Packard 2166
And... I think that's it. I can run the first game with 40-50fps with everything on and high exept shadows on medium because it crashed when I tried to change it. So do you guys think this config is enough to run this game?

With those specs, I wouldn't even bother. And, lowering the settings doesn't help at all.

I'm surprised I can even run the game at 60 fps with my current build.

"Graphic card : Nvidia GTX 1050 ( or Nvidia Geforce GT 740M... I don't know I see different informations"

what? a 1050 is nothing like a 740m so that makes zero sense. there is no way that laptop came with a 1050 as the 1050 did not even come out until they stopped making the 4200u.

you can forget about ANY modern gaming with that laptop. your cpu is only 2 cores/ 4 threads and max 2 core turbo is a pathetic 2.3 ghz. and a 740m is complete garbage and not even remotely capable of playing demanding modern games smoothly.

it cant even play the original The Evil Within as it only gets 25 fps on lowest settings at 1024x768. https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-740M.89900.0.html

and this game is even more demanding than the first.

Your answer makes no sense to me as well. You say I can't run modern gaming but like I said, I run The Evil Within smoothly ( at least 50 fps is smooth to me ) The only other games I have on this computer ( since I bought it like a week ago... ) is Mass Effect Andromeda and it runs at 60 fps with everything on medium. Same with Jurassic Park Evolution, I didn't look at the graphics, but the game is pretty beautiful and runs well.
I guess I'm very bad at giving specs since you said it makes no sense... I used a program called Speccy to look it up but I may have given the wrong info. I guess I'll have to download the demo to really see v v

you have a laptop? the cpu you listed is only in laptops as for as I know. and again the 1050 was never available with that old cpu but the 740m was. and I linked you to most well known laptop sight there is and it shows 25 fps on all low in the first game so you do not get twice that performance unless you have a different gpu.

go right to the top left of Steam and click on help and then click on system information and see what it shows there for your cpu, ram and gpu.

Yes it's a laptop. But it's supposed to be a gaming laptop and like I said it's recent. I mean I didn't buy a 1500 euros laptop as it's not in my budget but still I expected to be able to play games on it...
So since I have no idea what I'm doing anymore, I copy/pasted most of the info so I'm sure this time it is the correct answer (?)

ok so your pc has a i5-7300HQ so not sure where you got i5 4200U from when you started this thread.

and you do have a 1050 so yes you can run this game. I would go mix of mostly medium at 1080p and see how it goes. do not use any overlays in the game like afterburner or the game will hitch quite a bit.

Well the specs on my original post were from Speccy... I have no idea how this program was able to get the wrong specs.
I've started downlaoding the demo anyway so I'll see. I've read this game has memory leaks issues so that way I'll be able to tell if I'm one of the unlucky one or not.
Thanks for taking the time to help me, it's greatly appreciated. Eased my mind quit a bit.

if you can deal with 30 fps in this game then you will have a better overall experience.

and is your 1050 a 4gb model? 4gb 1050 cards seem fairly common in laptops.

just use gpuz to check. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

I don't mind 30fps at all, since I've played mostly on console lately ( because of the old computer I used to have ), I'm not picky on that topic.
And yes I've checked and the card has 4 gb of memory. Don't know if that's good or bad thou.

that is good because 2gb is the standard on the 1050. having 4gb will let you run higher settings like textures that you could not run with the 2gb model.

I'm glad to hear that, thanks. Now I just hope I won't suffer this memory leak thing as it seems to happen to random people and is unfixable. Do you know if when you download the game, if you had downloaded the demo before, it uses those files? It probably doesn't but my internet connection is so low that it bothers me a little to first download the demo. For reference, it takes me 23 hours to download the 25go demo ( living in a shi.tty village ) I guess I'll copy paste the files from the demo in the game's folder and hope it detects it.

That's it. And you don't neet to copy-paste anything. I don't remember exact numbers for TEW-1, but for TEW-2 additional download size is about 2GB when upgrading to full version. And don't forget to check integrity of game's local files right after that, just in case.

Buddy your fine. You can probably run the game a mix of medium and high settings at 1080p with that. 4gb vram is enough for high texture settings.

Also, search for device manager on your computer. That way you can see what your hardware is yourself.

i have that build expect a worse cpu and my game plays 30-45 fps on ultra game doesnt use the full extent of your hardware
