Will this PC run Sims 3?
I've been looking for an affordable laptop that will run Sims 3 + several expansions okay. I have one in mind, but I need a second opinion as I'm not very tech savvy. Specs: Model: HP ENVY 15z-j...
This laptop is using the graphics chip that is on the same chip as the cpu much like the Intel I series. Although combines cpu/gpu have come a long way as of recent they still don't perform in the gaming world like a dedicated graphics chip. TS3 uses a computer hard and an underpowered cpu or graphics chip will only be problems. As a laptop once you buy that computer it can not be upgraded. That laptop may be a very good multimedia computer but will probably have problems with TS3. To be sure a laptop can play TS3 you need to look at gaming laptops with dedicated graphics chips with a minimum of 128mb of dedicated video memory. The AMD A10 has been compared to an Intel I3 which is the lowest of the Intel I series. I would not recommend an Intel I3 for a gaming computer.
