Hardware & Technical Can I run ED on these specs?

CMDR Lynch · Apr 6, 2017

Hi,

I currently play ED on XBox One but was wondering if I could play it on my laptop, maybe with lower settings? (Until I can afford a decent desktop as my son uses the XBox most of the time!

)

My laptop specs are:

Dell Vostro 15-3568
Intel Core i5-7200U @2.5GHz 2.70GHz
8.00 GB RAM
Intel(R) HD Graphics 620

Thanks [noob]

very similar to my tarvel&work laptop specs, so: yes. not in the highest settings ofc.

It should play Elite Dangerous (vanilla) ok. I wouldn't expect it to run Horizons, at least not at anything like enjoyable quality & frame rate.

Thanks guys. I decided to download it last night and give it a whirl. The game runs like a dream and although not the highest settings it's still very playable.

That will run it fine on Low or Medium settings.

As long as you aren't expecting top settings, on lowest of low, I've seen Elite run on what I would qualify as a toaster so yeah, (not great but even so)
