nvidia GTX 960 M enough for this game

[schascha]

Hello guys,

Hi, I would like to buy this game but my config is (Intel Core i7, 16 Go de RAM, 1 To + SSD 128 Go, NVIDIA GTX 960M, Windows 10)
My graphic is little low than the minimum required.
Is it enough to play this game in good condition ??
Thx by advance.

Please specify the amount of VRAM.
It is technically possible to run the game with only 1 GB of VRAM (but your laptop will hate you for it and it will run at 5-15 fps... ">_> )

If you have at least 2 GB of VRAM and a decent heat sink, you are ready for Planetfall. Unless I've missed something.

I have 4096 Mo GDDR5 video memory is it what you meam by VRAM ?

So what part of your specs do you think is a little lower than minimum?

Are you sure about that? I honestly know barely anything about this but looking at a comparison, 960 M looks stronger to me, it is also about three years newer.

They do however give it a lower score in several categories, and maybe those are more important than raw numbers. As I said, I barely understand these things.

In any case, most store fronts have a refund policy so why not just try it? The 2 h Steam gives you are a bit short for an "enjoyment review" but it should be enough to figure out if the game runs satisfyingly.

M usually indicates it is a mobile GPU. Those are terrible for driver support and odd performance values. And those values may or many not be exactly what you need.
It might be intersting to look if the GPU in the Processor can run the game. Their driver support is leagues better and they tend to have a bit more even performance.

When in doubt, there is the steam refund system, someone else giving you gift-access to their library, the DRM free GOG version, etc.
