Let me preface this by saying, I know my laptop is under the minimum requirements and that it is not made for gaming. I don't have a gaming laptop and can't get one, and for my full, proper, beautiful DA:I experience, I do intend to play on my console. However, I'm going home for the holidays and will only have my laptop with me, and I'm hoping I might still be able to get the game to run functionally. For instance, my laptop is definitely below the minimum listed requirements for other games but can still play them without crashing or overheating too badly - they just don't look that great (which is a pity and a crime, I know) - and so I don't know that "minimum" is necessarily the real minimum.

Can anyone please tell me if the game will play, even at low FPS and lowest settings, on my mid-2013 Macbook Air? (Note: I have Windows 7 on Bootcamp).

 

CPU: 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz)

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5000

RAM: 4GB

 

Like I said, I realize it's far from ideal, but I'm curious if you think it might be possible.

 

Alternately, I'm thinking about selling the Macbook and buying the new Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14, and if you could tell me if this might be able to handle the game at low settings, I'd appreciate it. Yes, whether I can play Dragon Age: Inquisition on this might be a deciding factor, love my Macbook in general though I do

CPU: 1.7GHz  Intel 4th Generation Core i5 (with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz) - I assume it's dual-core, I didn't see it specificied on the web site
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M (2GB video memory)
RAM: 8GB

 

 

Thanks for your help! I appreciate it, especially since I'm probably making some of you cringe in my efforts to destroy the beauty of this game by playing it below the min. specs

HELLO FELLOW PC GOERS. I have a questions! For Nvidia users, I suppose.

 

How do you install your drivers?

 

Does everyone just rely on the standard way? I always update with checking the clean install box...but at the end of the installation...it doesn't ask me to restart my computer...isn't it supposed to?

 

I assume if it doesn't ask me to restart, then something went wrong and it did not install properly.

 

Is there a way to install properly, if that is the case, or is this normal?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eh, I just use the GeForce Experience.  My screen might black out when updating my driver but I'm pretty sure I've never had to restart after updating.  GeForce Experience will tell you if it's updated successfully.

The Yoga 14 is around $1,100, no?

For about $1,200, you can get a laptop with 970m that will run DA:I at 1080p 60fps and upcoming demanding games for the next few years at 1080p with no problems: http://www.xoticpc.c...ov7-p-7690.html

Or maybe you can find a better deal during Black Friday.

Yes, that's what it's selling for. Thank you for the tip! I'll consider it. I take my laptop with me to campus to work a lot, and I have back problems, so I was considering the Yoga mostly because of size and weight - the laptop you recommended is bigger and heavier, though definitely more powerful for it. Thanks again!

Yep until recently the slimmer laptops were limited to weaker graphics cards. The 970m and 980m are both a lot faster than previous laptop cards as well as cooler, so we are seeing these in the thinner laptops as well.

I believe the one linked above is the lowest price laptop with 970m, around 1" thick, more bulky than the 0.83 inch chassis of Yoga 14; slimmer than the larger desktop replacement type laptops from Alienware or others which sometimes have over 2" chassis.

A few others with 970m or 980m graphics cards that are equally thin as the Yoga 14 but significantly more expensive:

Gigabyte P34W (970m)
Gigabyte P35x (980m)
MSI GS60 (970m)
Aorus x3 (870m but will be refreshed with 970m)
 
Otherwise, try to find any other laptop with i7 quad core processor (with model# ending in MQ, HQ, avoid CPU model #s ending in U), and at least 860m or better graphics.
 
For the price listed, I would not recommend buying the Yoga with 840m and the i5-4210U processor which is a weak energy saver low voltage CPU.

Thanks for all of the advice! It may be that I have to stick with my Mac and play console for now, but I'll keep this in mind, especially for holiday sales.

Your GPU is the only low end component on your system. Checking benchmarks on youtube I see that you can expect north of 30 FPS at medium 30 with some drops on high. Not too bad for such a low end card.

 

I think at this point you're looking to get better performance I wouldn't recommend going for anything less than the $130 750ti for a nice boost (should be high at 1080p or around medium for 60 FPS) or the $180 R9 270X for even better performance (high + 60 FPS).

Thanks for the reply! Upgrading my system isn't feasible at the moment, but if I can run the game at all, I'll be content. (And I will file your recommendations away for future reference.)

Yeah you'll be fine. But don't bother with my recommendations. Prices on GPu's shift every month and new models release every year or so.

 

When you are looking for a upgrade check out Tom's HArdware best GPU for XXX  articles. They update it every month. HEre's this month's article:

I know nothing about AMD CPUs (i'm Intel all the way baby!) but with your GPU?  Low to medium settings would be my guess.  Leaning more towards medium with your resolution.  Just tweak your graphics if you get any stuttering.

There are way smarter people than me on here but there's my two cents.

I want to re-post my specs because they weren't very detailed last time.

[Pevesh]

I wanted to ask for some help with determining how well my computer should be able to run Inquisition. My questions are basically:

(1) Can my laptop run Inquisition at all?

(2) Will it run it better than my Xbox 360 does?

 

Here's my specs:

CPU: Intel i7-2630QM @ 2.0 GHz

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 540M (1GB RAM)

RAM: 4GB (currently, I'm planning on upgrading to 8GB)

I'll be running the game at a resolution of 1366x768 with a 64-bit version of Windows 7.

 

The minimum requirements are looking tougher than I had anticipated so I'm a bit nervous about whether I'll be able to run the game or not. I expected my graphics card to just pass minimum specs, so that isn't a surprise, though according to Passmark it looks like my card is even a bit worse than the 8800GT. Hopefully with my resolution that shouldn't be an issue, but I'm not certain. What I wasn't expecting was my processor to also only meet the bare minimum requirements.

 

I'm not at all concerned with how well it runs as long as it runs at the lowest settings without crashing and with a decent FPS (~30fps) most of the time. My suspicion is that my laptop will still run the game better than my 360, but I find it too risky making a choice about getting the 360 or PC version based on what I know about computer specs. Since there are people here who are much more knowledge about this than I am, I thought I'd ask for some other opinions.

[kaleeftw]

Ok folks I've got another one:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4950 Quad Core 3.3 GHz

RAM: 16GB

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB

 

How will Inquisition run with those specs? Thanks!

I would think so.  If you have stuttering then turn lower things like antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. (Which you shouldn't need to.)

Now I know what people say about minimum specs but I ran Assassin's Creed 4 on my GT 425M.  It was not as pretty as my GTX 780 but it worked.  Mostly.  Lots of stuttering when lots of NPCs crowded the deck of a ship I was attacking.  But it ran.  So yes, I think you can run it.  Settings will be low with some mediums and you'll have to turn antialiasing and anisotropic filtering off (and any other fancy "make it purtty options").  Watch how hot you laptop gets though.  I bought a Cooler Master cooling pad so I could game without nuking the inside of my computer.

Ultra.  No worries, rock on. lol

I would think so.  If you have stuttering then turn off/lower things like antialiasing and anisotropic filtering.

Okay, sounds good. That was about what I was expecting/hoping so I think I will give the PC version a shot. Should at least work until I can afford a new computer. I have a cooling pad which uses both passive cooling and fans and have never had trouble with my laptop overheating while gaming when using that, so overheating shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the reply!

I can run Battlefield 3 and 4 on medium with no performance hit. Hope DA:I scales well.

[Logain08]

Hello everyone,

 

I successfully played The Witcher 2 on ultra settings with my computer, and apparently the specs of my computer are above the recommended level for DA:I but, since I know next to nothing about hardware, I was wondering whether anyone could tell me how high I would probably be able to go in the settings for DA:I with these specs:

 

CPU: AMD Vishera FX-8350, Eight-Core

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 12 GB DDR3-1600

GPU: Nvidia GTX760 2GB

 

I already pre-ordered the game on PC, and I know it should work, but I hope I can at least run it smoothly and hopefully close to 'ultra'. :-)

 

Many thanks in advance!
