batman arkham origins on steam

[cole_14]

my laptop is a 2009 dell latitude E6430 with 16GB Ram, Intel HD 4000 Graphics and 1.5gb Graphics memory. it has 64mb dedicated graphics memory, but i am pretty sure it doesn't matter that much, i have tried many sites for help but none helped at all, does anybody have any answers? can i run batman arkham origins safely? will it affect my PC?

Hello, Cole:

Steam recommends a 1GB GTX 560 card or minimum 512MBs. What do you mean by "64mb dedicated graphics memory"? Do you actually have a video card with only 64MBs?

Your Dell can be configured with an HD 3000 or HD 4000 IGP and/or a 1GB nVidia NVS 5200M dedicated video card. I hope that your machine has a dedicated card as I doubt that even the HD 4000 will be enough.

Cheers,
GreyCatz.

64mb is my dedicated video memory, along with my VRAM, I do not know if I can upgrade my graphics card, I think I can install an nvidia card.
So you think I will not be able to safely run it?

If your Dell didn't come with an nVidia card from the factory, then you're out of luck, I'm afraid. Once you've chosen your configuration, whether on Dell's web site or in the electronics shop, you're limited to removing/replacing RAM modules and (possibly) the HDD. The CPU and any GPU are soldered onto the motherboard.

If I understand your situation correctly, your Dell doesn't have the optional nVidia card, leaving you with the built-in or integrated graphics processer in the CPU, either HD 3000 or HD 4000. Even if you have the HD 4000 version, which might be able to provide graphics power comparable to around 1GB, I very much doubt it can handle the complex graphics of a computer game like Batman: Arkham Origins.

Historically, IGPs are only designed to allow users to open system applications without lag or blurring, although modern versions will also allow you to watch YouTube videos, online movies and play very basic games. PC games will generally require a separate or dedicated graphics card.

I think it's time to retire your 2009 Dell...

Sorry,
GreyCatz.

Yes it´s safe

Here is a video with Intel core i5-3210 and HD 4000 graphics

yours should be a bit better because of a better CPU in your latitude

On this Laptop the CPU is replacable/socketed, the GPU would be soldered on the motherboard.

I stand corrected. And yes, you can actually replace the CPU:

My mistake.
