Can my laptop run these games?

[e-bleu]

Hey in this thread I will be asking for help or helping people on if there computer/laptop can run specific games.
Please don't comment "just check the system requirements" because I do!
I just want getting the public's feedback and getting responses.
Look below in the comments to ask questions or even better answer my questions!

My pc specs are
CPU: intel core i7-2670QM
GPU: Nvidia GeForce gt 555m
RAM: 8GB
Use these to answer my questions in the comments!
So far my laptop can run these games:
Rocket League
Rust
GTA V

Can my laptop run Overwatch

[Sharkquisha]

yes I think so

[Sharkquisha]

yeah

Is it really an Intel HD graphics 3000? Because the answer as a rule to that is going to be probably not to most games that aren't 6+ years old.

Is it a dual graphics card system? With an Nvidia card as the other card?

[Sharkquisha]

I think so, those specs are better than my pc currently, although I have new parts I havent installed yet like my new graphics card. But I can run all those games smoothly on my current specs.

[Sharkquisha]

my current one is the geforce gtx 750ti single fan, my upgrade that I haven't installed yet is the geforce gtx 1060 3gb dual fan.

So your machine bears no resemblance to his at all graphics card wise. *sigh*

"Rocket League" will run on low settings.
"GTA 5" can run but only on lowest settings and a low resolution. Even then the FPS would be borderline, not much fun.
"RUST" will run on lowest settings but still a bad framerate , around 15-20 FPS also the game has massive graphic bugs on old Intel HD chips. So , not recommended.
NBA 2K17, no chance, only runs from Intel HD 4000 upward.

Like already mentioned the Intel HD 3000 graphic chip set is nearly 6 years old by now. So dont expect to play any graphic intensive games from the last 5 years with it.
Older games from around 2010 and before should run relatively fine.

@Darren can u help me with any of these?

Do you have a model number for your laptop? And a maker? It'll make it easier to validate your specs a lot of cards show up as an Intel 3000 HD even if they aren't.

[Darren]

If you have no idea of your make and model number of your laptop (i.e. exactly what brand of laptop was it) the quickest way we can check if you have an Optimus card is for you to open up your Device Manager and open up the Display adapters.

You might have just the Intel HD Graphics listed. Or you might (like me) have two listed. This is fairly common with laptops the Intel graphics is used for most things but you can use the faster Nvidia card for games.

[Darren]

Excellent, this means you have a GeForce 555m a MUCH better card. Assuming you set your processes to run with that (which is usually the default for games) you will now exceed the minimum specs for all of the games you have listed. Not by much in most cases but by enough they should all be playable on the lowest setting.

[Darren]

I don't think you can ever get DXDIAG to give the right read out.

Right-Click on your background, select Nvidia Control Panel.

Go to Manage 3D Settings.

Change the Global Settings, Preferred Graphics Adapter from Auto-select to High-performance Nvidia.

You can also in the Program Settings pick the Graphics Adapter on a per game basis.

Auto-select is pretty good. I just prefer to be explicit (some games particularly indie ones don't pick the right adapter otherwise).

Dude , can you replace your system's graphics cars, or is it a built in all in one PC. Cuz if you can replace it you definitely should, your processor and ram is perfect for these games but your graphics card just ruins everything.

Well you can. But it's extremely expensive, and you have very limited options. I wouldn't recommend it for the average user.
