do you need a graphics card to play the game and would my Toshiba satellite c55t-a work?

you need directx 11 capability at least. I don't know if your Toshiba would play it or not sorry.

I use a site like 'can I play this' to check whether a game will run on my computer. I play on a toshiba satellite with integrated graphics card, with no problem

It will run for a low settings. But you can always upgrade to a higher graphic card in the future.

Sorry to hear you're using Windows 8. Made the mistake of ordering a laptop with that OS and sent it back after a day of frustration with it. Can only suggest going to the website for the company that built this game to see if they can provide an answer. The age of the game would tend to be a detriment.

Absolutely not. If you want to run those sort of games then you will either need to build yourself a computer for about $800 (which includes peripherals and a monitor) or buy one of the $1000+ computers. If you were to get this computer, then you would need to immediately upgrade the graphics card. And if you upgrade the graphics card, then your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component which would be your processor. This processor is a quad core processor, but it is slow for its class.

you should be able to play those game, but you will want to upgrade you video card down the road.

You have to look at the recommended specs for the game. This card is an HD7770.

You will have a rock solid 60+ FPS at High settings. Although I have not tried the expansion on the laptop, it should play it like a champ in any case.

Yes, it will work without a problem. I usually go in www.systemrequirementslab.com to check if my machine can run certain games. I recommend it to check if yours can! Hope it helps

of course it will work, best card I ever owned for the price. and no there's no cpu requirement. pretty much the games run off the ram on the card.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

Possibly in generic VGA mode, and don't expect gaming to work well. Finding drivers for something this old will be a challenge. I'd spend a few extra dollars and get something closer to current technology to ensure drivers are available.

Short answer yes it will. It all depends on your laptop specs though. I went online and I found the minimum and recommended system requirements, http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/spintires/12217/?p=r If you have any doubt just go the the same website that was on and search for it and the website will automatically get your laptop's specs and tell you if you can play the game

Absolutely not. Civilization 5 is a very demanding game in graphics specifically. You need a relatively powerful graphics card to run in on Med-High settings and a pretty decent processor (a Core i5 or quad core CPU that can clock an average of over 3 GHz) The processor in this laptop clocking at an average if 1.4 GHz falls very short, with no integrated graphics as well. To give you an idea of how demanding computers are now, this laptop has trouble running a YouTube video, much less a power heavy game.

You need a PC specifically with an approved nvidia graphics card.I have this, and I don't recommend it. It's difficult to set up and the effect isn't particularly great.

I played it on my laptop. Use whatever scdreen you want. What matters is the unit that plays the program.

You will be able to play some games like that, it depends all on the graphics demand of the game. The processor Itself is amazing. But the graphics card is integrated. I was definitely satisfied with the computer itself but I also bought an AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics card. It's one of the cheaper high end graphics cards out there.

Hi Brenda. I don't play games on mine but I do rely heavily on graphics. This computer is very good with real time graphics. Extremely fast refresh rate and very dependable powerful machine. I think you'll be happy with it.
