What games can run on intel 5?

[Arctic]

Got an intel 5 laptop and was wondering what games it can play, ik it can play Garry's mod but online is very laggy but I was wondering what games can run on that type of hardware so I know what can play because idk want to buy a game, download it and find out it doesn't run so I have to refund it

Intel what? There are more the 1 Intel 5 CPU

CPU isn't the only thing you need to play games. GPU matters as well. Thats why games have minimum and recommend Specs that tell you what you need.

If you don't know your specs tell us the Make and Model of Laptop

I assume you mean Intel i5.

That really, really depends, and there's a lot more to your PC than just your CPU to determine how games will run.

First off, Garry's Mod is based on Half Life 2, a game from 2004. It should run on most potatoes just fine.

Let's take a look at the system requirements listed on the store page under "recommended".

OS *: Windows® 7/8/8.1/10
Whatever works is fine here. If you're running Steam you should be fine.

Processor: 2.5 GHz Processor or better
This is what falls under your "intel 5" question. There's lots of different processors, like your Intel i5. What generation? Which one? For example, if you have an Intel i5 6600k, this is the 6th generation i5 with the "k" designation meaning the multipliers are unlocked and you can technically overclock it if you want. The specs of such a CPU are that it's 4 cores, 4 threads, 3.5 GHz base frequency and 3.9 GHz boost frequency. This goes way over the system requirements for GMod, and it came out in 2015. Any remotely modern CPU is going to be fine here.

Memory: 8 GB RAM
How much RAM you have. 16 GB is considered standard now, and even the lowest-end, bargain Walmart computers will have at least 8 GB these days.

Graphics: 1GB dedicated VRAM or better
This is the most important spec for gaming. There are two kinds, onboard graphics or dedicated graphics. Cheap laptops and very low-end desktops usually have onboard graphics, meaning the graphics and CPU both exist on the CPU. This used to be terrible back in the day, but modern onboard graphics isn't actually terrible these days. Dedicated graphics cards of course will provide much more power and performance to your games. Onboard graphics share memory with your main system memory, while dedicated graphics have their own memory, called "VRAM". Honestly for GMod, unless you're using a $400 laptop from 2007, you should be okay running it no matter what.

Basically, what I'm saying is that for PC gaming you need to learn a little bit about computers to get the most out of it. You need to have at least a basic understanding of what a CPU and GPU is, and the difference between RAM and hard drive (or really solid state these days) memory. You don't need to be an expert or anything, but a passing understanding will allow you to compare what you have to the listed system requirements so you can know what to expect. If this is too much, you're probably better off with a console where you don't need to even think about this stuff. Just launch the game and play it.
