Leafynn Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 You probably will be able to play the game, albeit not at very high settings. This is because the laptop specs you have posted do not include a dedicated graphics card. A dedicated graphics card is a seperate processing unit inside the computer that specilizes in rendering visuals images, or graphics. Not all games require a dedicated graphics card to run, however it is usually strongly recommended for 3D games (like Skyrim) or games with intense visuals. Most likely the computer you have listed has intergrated graphics (probably either intel 3000 or 4000) meaning that the CPU can be used to render the visuals that a graphics card would usually do. This of course is not optimal as CPUs generally are not meant to do this in the same capacity as a dedicated graphics card is.All in all, yes that computer probably could run Skyrim, however probably not at very high settings or at a very good frame rate.

hoopgamer55 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 They must be better than these specs right? System Model: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC BIOS: InsydeH2O Version CCB.03.61.17F.45 Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~1.5GHz Memory: 4096MB RAMAvailable OS Memory: 3562MB RAM Page File: 3306MB used, 3817MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafynn Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Might be better, because that laptop has an APU. However the processor is not as fast nor do you have as much RAM. At the moment really depends on whether the first laptop has either intel 3000, 4000, 4400 graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes my other posts totally irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopgamer55 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 So it will play on high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) So it will play on high? Perhaps. You should at least get medium. You might get high if you're lucky, but definitely not the highest. Keep your shadows relatively low, since those are the biggest performance killer for the least visual improvement. But yes, your new laptop should be much better than the old one. Edit:Is this your laptop?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215205 If it is, you should get good settings. Somewhere between medium and high, possibly high.Here's a video of someone with a slightly weaker PC than yours running Skyrim on high settings.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxQmM4hl4dU And here's a good guide that explains Skyrim's settings, and explains what you should do to optimize Skyrim to get the most 'bang for your buck'.http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-tweak-guide Edited July 10, 2013 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
