Hello GalCiv Forums,
I am considering purchasing the Elite Founder package thing-a-ma-jig. But as with every game I play I need to be absolutely sure that my little ASUS laptop will be able to run the game.
System Info:
- Windows 8 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200)
- Intel Core i3-3120M (2.5GHz)(4 CPUs)
- 4096MB RAM (In reality I have about 3.6gb that isn't used for basic computer functions)
Display Info:
- Intel HD Graphics 4000 (The mid-grade integrated chip from Intel) [Can run Civ5 on medium graphics without much trouble]
- 1760mb VRAM (Default was 512mb, but I went into the BIOS and specifically allocated the 1.7gb)
- 1366x768 display (Typical 16:9 aspect ratio, 60hz refresh rate, 32-bit display)
For about $400, no CD-drive included but who the hell uses CDs apart from console users*, I enjoy my mid-grade gaming experiences quite a bit. Anyways after reading the FAQ in the support section and the FAQ on the main GalCiv3 site I couldn't figure out whether or not I would be able to run the Alpha-Beta-Full game with my specs. Maybe on Low-Mid graphics settings? Maybe not at all. Thank-you guys for any insight you might be able to give me.
*Apologies to anyone who still plays the good ole games with the original retail CDs. And console users :3
