Question: Can i run this game using a Intel core i3-2120 ???

[PlaGu3DoCToR]

Hey I was just wondering if My Pc has all the requirements except for the intel core i5 2500k, (both the i3-2120 are the same when it comes to grafics and base speed ) would the game still work? I can run the game on my latop with no issue because i have an intel core i7 however i was wondering if i would be able to install this game on my pc even though the CPU is only an intel core i3-2120 (Note that the intel core i3-2120 and 2120T have different base speeds intel core i3 2120T only being 3.2GHz where as i3-2120 and i5 2500k are base speeds of 3.5GHz with a max processing speed of 3.7GHz)

Hello there
I was going to link a site that i use to compare cpus and other components, but I am not sure if that is against the rules.
Anyway, I pitched your cpu against the two minimum requirements cpus and it performs worse than both of them, so it wouldn't be advisable to install it on that computer.
(although it is a small differece from the AMD Athlon X4 740 Quad Core)

You did not mention it, what dedicated graphics card / GPU do you have in the i3 system? It's required to run this game to have at least some form of one.

Haha @impending rentacle tape I would hope so, i'm pretty sure my system has a GPU because if it didn't it would not even turn on. Although i can not remember and i'm not particularry in the mood to check lol. I was mainly asking out of cueristy because the CPU's were so simular

Hi Indigo. A GPU is a Dedicated Graphics Processing Unit. Your computer doesn't need a GPU to turn on since your motherboard has an integrated graphics processing unit (IGPU).

So this is why people are asking if you have a GPU or just an IGPU. Look at the screenshot for the placement of where your monitor is plugged. Depending on the location you will know.

A computer does not need a graphics card to turn on but needs a dedicated GPU to play games. You don't wanna play on integrated graphics.

Please go to Steam -> Click on help up there -> Click on system information -> Cut and paste the information here and we will let you know if you do have an IGPU or GPU.

Given that it's a dual core chip from seven years ago I wouldn't get my hopes up, especially if you only have integrated graphics.

Follow Samael's instructions above and copy-paste the steam output here and that will tell us (and then we can tell you) what your video card (or lack there of) situation looks like.

What sort of framerates? What GPU?

[Mault]

Send me your computer and $325. I will replace your processor if necessary and make sure it meets the recommended specs. I'll also run 3D Mark for you, don't worry.

I'm glad PCBS isn't like real life. The number of customer computers I've sent back that I overclocked to make work and they run like cpu @ 94c & GPU @ 90c and just send it to em all "Here you go."
