Hello :) i have A Gaming Laptop from 2012 called Alienware M11X R2 i7 Model, i heard that it play AAA Games but in very low settings, due to the old of my laptop, i'm confused if i can run DOOM on it, some videos proofs that you can play it on low end Specs!

here's a video showing that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtCEsGHFwbQ

in that video, the guy use these specs:

CPU: intel celeron g1840
RAM: 8gb ddr3
Graphics: intel hd
=====================================
My Laptop specs:
CPU: intel core i7 640um
RAM: 8gb ddr3
Graphics: GT 335M

i searched on internet the comparison between my CPU with that guy's CPU, mine have hyperthreading and more Cache, but low frequency, but not that low, it's 2.25Ghz when it's in turbo mode 😀

So, can i run doom? i don't care if it will be Bad Graphics, all what i care is playing

Thank you :)
 


That video is a fake the games would not even be able to run at 5 fps. You can maybe get 30fps at 800*600 lowest settings but the chances are really low that it will actually work.
 


well, should i try? that guy from youtube is legit
