Can I run SoT

My laptop specs

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20 GHz

6.00 GB RAM

Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Absolutely minimum graphics settings and resolution. The integrated GPU is gonna be your bottle neck. You will only see about 30 fps max and may have stuttering during intensive events while fighting players or world events.

Being a laptop, that is the best you are gonna do since you can’t upgrade your GPU.

What about adding a eGPU? I wonder if that would help I have a HP 15 notebook.

Those require a thunderbolt 3 or 4 port I believe. Your laptop is too old, having only a usb 3.0 port which is far too slow for graphics communication with the cpu. (8x slower than thunderbolt 3 and ~20x slower than a pcie 3.0x16 slot)

@kommodoreyenser
Well I have seen what that cursed graphics looks like and idk if I would enjoy it unfortunatly...

I've seen this one video where it nearly killed their pc. I mean the temperature can be fixed by getting a fan. But the stuttering on there is another problem because that would be more of a hindurance than anything. Especially if I'm just doing the tales and stuff and someone comes and easilly sinks my ship and steals my stuff... I probably wouldn't mind the graphics if this fixable where it won't blow up my laptop.

I wouldn't recommend gaming on any laptop that doesnt have a dedicated graphics processor. Something like a 1050ti or even the older gtx 770 series would be more than enough for this game. I play on a laptop myself but it has a gtx 1070, this is capable of max graphics in this game while running 1440p at 144Hz/FPS on an external monitor.

I can play SWTOR and Minecraft on here just fine yeah sure SWTOR has long updates that take all day to install but it plays fine with little to no issues. So I had hoped this would be not the same but better than you described. I was going to use my bday money next month to get a pc copy. But I guess I'll get a used xbox one from fb marketplace around me and then get the game on there. Perhaps that would be the best solution to that problem.

Well The Old Republic is pretty easy on the graphics requirements being an MMORPG and the game itself is like 7 years older than SoT which is ancient in the gaming world.

Minecraft historically is rough on the CPU side especially with mods. Graphically draw distance doesn't even happen unless the blocks are visible and it has 16 bit textures so it is super low on GPU requirements. I personally play with ~72 tech mods and a draw distance and sim distance of 24 chunks.

The xbox route would certainly be the cheapest if you couldn't find a good used laptop with a dedicated GPU.

SWTOR just celebrated their first decade since launch I've been playing since 2014-2015 forget which year. The graphics of the latest stuff is why I thought it would be better. Because the KOTFE and KOTET alone had good cutscene graphics better than the base game. So I'm just going to get the xbox someone is selling for $150 it's disk drive is broke but I can still get the digital copy of the game on there.

@kommodoreyenser I have to ask do I have to have XBOX Live Gold to play because that's what the xbox website says although I also hear I just have to have a account? I've always played Playstation so I'm new to xbox.

@triheadedmonkey are you talking account or the Gold subscription?

@triheadedmonkey Ok so it's like Playstation Plus then. So the game pass ultimate would be the best deal then considering I wouldn't have to buy the game seperately since it comes with it. Also I've heard that you can use a duelshock 4 on xbox. As I said I've played on all the playstations. So I'm used to the design mainly the left analog being in a different place. Is this true and would it work on the game button wise?

@wolfmanbush I'm already involved in them on my browser I have 800 points right now.
