Graphics card problem

[bibosiso]

Hello,i have intel graphics 3000 incorporated in my laptop and 4 gb of ram,so if i upgraded to 8 gb ram will it be able to run AC unity ? Note that intel graphics 3000 runs far cry 3 and Thief pretty well. Thank u.

I am sorry to say this but upgrading your ram will not improve your graphics performance.

You need at least 6GB ato run Unity according to system requirements from gaming websites.

So you should be able to run the game but the real question is, is it playable? Well since you are able to run those FarCry 3, Thief pretty well, then you should be fine. However you may need to turn the resolution down.

But why not build a PC or buy one?

The answer to this is on the Ubisoft page at:

The minimum video card requirements are:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 GB VRAM)

So none of the Intel integrated video systems will qualify. There are mobile GPUs from both AMD and NVIDIA that will work, but it looks to be challenging. I have a similar problem with my laptop and its HD4000 video and 8GB of RAM, no AC Unity on it.

As others have pointed out, upgrading the laptop RAM just fixes the basic memory requirement - not the graphics card one.

sorry but a ram upgrade will not fix the issue... you need a laptop realy powerful dedicated gpu ...

First of all. You will need more ram but its not the one that makes your game look good. Its the GPU. Make sure you have at least 680 (would recommend more knowing the awful PC ports).

To all of the posters, there isn't any point recommending desktop graphics card when he is on a laptop.

I already have a pc but it's weaker then my laptop and above that the new nvidia graphics cards cost a fortune so it's just like buying a ps4 ,unless you know a cheaper way to have the needed graphic card that is able to run AC unity

Wait a minute!!

Do you want to upgrade the graphics card in the desktop now? I thought this was about the laptop??

bro, your entire pc is too old to handle assassins creed unity... 🙁 you need quadcore cpu, 6gb ram and atleast an R9 270x or GTX 760 to have a decent gameplay

Bro,i know that's why I'm trying to see if it runs on my laptop here is my laptop specs:
2nd gen intel core i7 2.4 ghz and up to 2.9 ghz in turbo boost
Intel graphics 3000
Nvidia geforce gt 540m
6gb ram and can be upgraded
So what r my chances?

your gpu is too slow dude.. sorry but it wont be a decent gaming experience with a 540m

My laptop gpu runs far cry 3, thief ,mass effect 3and bioshock infinite normally,so i don't think it's that slow.

trust me.... it is slow... ubisoft are notorious for worst pc ports and they dont optimize their games well enough.. your laptop will be begging for mercy

Can you give us your motherboard model? He might be able to upgrade to a core 2 quad. If I were you, I would save some money, sell your two computers, and build a new computer from scratch. You can build a pretty damn good gaming computer for $500. Go look on YouTube and see for yourself.

OP, please answer this. Are you gaming AC on a PC or laptop?

If you go with your laptop, you will have to turn the resolution to the lowest with the lowest setting possible for it to be playable at 30FPS or not even playable.


My best bet is either buy a gaming laptop or buy/build a PC.

If you are seeking help that is not related to original thread then please create a new thread.

As for now, I will wait for your answer.
