    Since you didn't include the single most important component in a gaming PC, I seriously doubt your little notebook meets the minimum requirements: 

    From the official Dragon Age website, the requirements are:

    DA: I  Minimum PC Specs

        OS: Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64-bit
        CPU: AMD quad-core CPU @2.5 GHz / Intel quad-core CPU @2.0 GHz
        System RAM: 4 GB
        Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 4870 / NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
        Graphics Card Memory: 512 MB
        Hard Drive Space: 26 GB
        DirectX 10

    I don't think you have any real GPU.

    If another game doesn't run on the same Frostbite game engine, there is no valid comparison that can be made, sorry.  There is no support for any of the "wannabe" video chips from Intel.  There never will be, in this game.

    These are the Display items, I know it has high requirements but I have seen other people Using similar Specs to mine. And my specs are fine for a Portable PC

    Just so you know, in future, it's much easier (for us and you) to just post a dxdiag instead of copy-pasting random bits of it into a post. 😉
    That video card (and, it seems, your whole laptop) are not 'fine' for a gaming PC. It is not built for playing games, certainly not AAA games with high requirements. This game is so demanding they gave up trying to support PS3 and Xbox 360, and they probably have better specs than your laptop.

    Also, your drivers are from 2012. That's older than the game. Just... no.

    Also, nice thread title change, @Fred_vdp 😛

    I didn't change it. It looks like the thread is now displaying the title of a reply. 🙂

    Bethesda's games are always a few years behind in the technology department. That's why Skyrim can run on a very broad range of computers, even business laptops.

    Though I am very curious about your framerate and settings in that game.

    Bethesda has consistently been blind to hardware technology, constantly publishing game requirements that have no valid application in the real world.  Skyrim was no different.  The amount of VRAM attached to a GPU is meaningless compared to the speed of that VRAM and the speed of the GPU core, but their minimum ignored that fact: 

    Corrected Skyrim Minimum Requirements

        * Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
        * Processor: Dual Core 2.3 GHz C2D or equivalent CPU
        * 3GB System RAM
        * 6GB free HDD Space
        * Direct X 9 compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM (and
               sufficient performance to actually put that VRAM to use)
        * DirectX compatible sound card
        * Internet access for Steam activation 

    I think that they ignored the differences between a C2D and a P4 dual core, as well, but my parenthetic phrase was an attempt to bring their erroneous GPU specs into reality.  It also seems that they may have ignored differences between Dx9a, Dx9b, and Dx9c (shaders). 

    I do recall that Intel HD 3000s weren't at all adequate for decent play. 

  • I would have liked for it to work but I will just continue my work on it so Thank you for the help and it was 25-40 depending on the amount of characters being played.
