Can I run the following games?

Can I run the following games?

My Specs
Lenovo Thinkbook 14
Intel core i5 - 1035G1 -- 1.0 Ghz (Quad Core)
8gb Ram
Intel uhd graphics

Games I like to play
Sid Meier's Civilization 5 Brave New World
King Arthur the Role Playing Wargame I
Omerta City of Gangsters


Will these games run?

[Cathulhu]

Civ V, shouldn't be too much of an issue.
King Arthur even less so.
Same with Omerta

The games should run. It is a low powered device but all those games are a bit older and weren't exactly demanding even back then.

[MancSoulja]

Crazy boost clock on that CPU.

Ice Lake and UHD G1 are very new to market. I can't find any benchmarks except for a GTA V one.

All you can do is give it a go and let the community know if they run well.

They'll run even with a 1.0 Ghz processor?

NO, base core cpu frequency is to small, is game devs has put game requirement to exatly that what is needed, then there is in NO way you can even start the games.

you could have 1000's cpu with 1GHz that dont bring it up to minimum. ( and even worlds best Graphic card, but the cpu HZ dont have it.

try can i run it.

i doubt it will accept it, problem is its just a app that try help, and mistakes can happend.

but go ahead ask games devs, if they even want to reply on it, then store page says diffrent.

Processor Base Frequency 1.00 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency 3.60 GHz

your cpu will get up there, but it was never build for games. ( not all games devs accept throttle cpu some require it as base core frequency. )

even seen some few games mention, and if you notice most game requirements dont even mentions laptop they all seem use Desktop information in the reference.

so in this case its matter if game will work with such low base cpu frequency before boost kick in.

Frequency doesn't matter much as IPC is way more important.

The i5 1035G1 of OP is almost twice as fast as the CPU listed as minimum requirement for Civilization V.

Even the integrated videochip runs circles around the Geforce 7900 GS listed as minimum.

At least compare the components before you spout wrong information.

its not a gameing pc.

[Cathulhu]

It is not. Still more than enough for those old games with rather low requirements.

[KonstantinaTheCat]

Hmmm
It could depend on the Game Requirements(Disc Space, RAM, system Type, and other,) and other things and possible issues with your device(problems with instaling or crashing a lot etc)


But 8 RAM could be good thing here(most of the new games needs about 8 RAM)



system type - 64 or 33 Bit version

It doesn't have to be for what he's trying to play. The games are old enough and the requirements low enough that even most workstation computers could play them.

Clock speed means absolutely nothing. There were 3Ghz Pentum 4's that would get smashed by a modern Pentium running at 300mhz.

His CPU is on par with a 3.2Ghz I5 4460.

What is ipc by the way?

[Snapjak]

Instructions Per Cycle (or clock depending on who you ask).

Nothing a simple google search wouldn't have told you if you wanna know more about it.

[Iceira]

sure we all get that part , but in the end its each game and devs that know what requirement is.
and bottleneck issue,

ps.
and its still not a gamer device, and i doubt they will support such. so welcome to greyzone.
in what can or cant run on that unit. and thats why i said NO sooner or later you will buy something that dont run well, even then spec is there,

but i bet OP already know this. ( its simple matter of previous generation games will run or not )
on a none gaming pc, as most will call that pc is a office pc. and they have huge limitations in some games depend on requirements.


and if i recall correctly other with such type pc have complain before with games dont run well.
so this is actual nothing new.

[Cathulhu]

Evidently OP is aware that this isn't a high performance device.
