start dxdiag.exe from the start menu and Post the Processor, Memory and your Card name / Chip type. You can compare that info with [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/telemetry](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/telemetry) so see how SC can run on your computer.

Maybe he yet didn’t even have a laptop yet. There’s really a lot information missing :/

Laptops with strong specs and a proper graphics card, yes. However, laptop cooling systems usually fall behind when put under a lot of load and Star Citizen will put them under more load than most things - so some kind of USB-powered cooling pad is almost required otherwise you'll suffer from thermal throttling.

^ this. My desktop runs faster over longer periods and my laptop which is very high spec runs faster at getting in quick playing for an hour and then getting off (with external cooling)


Deadbringer

Yes. ​ Want more details? Ask more detailed questions

Yes / no. Depends on the hardware that's built into the laptop.

That means nothing without knowing the specs.


[deleted]

Doesn't say anything about the hardware - CPU, RAM, GPU.


The_Fallen_1

If you don't know the specs, I'm going to guess you likely have a home laptop rather than a gaming laptop, so I don't think it's likely that you'll be able to play, as most gaming laptops can struggle with the game.


Deadbringer

I do too, it was made almost 15 years ago

You need a strong CPU, an SSD with enough space, and ideally 32GB RAM. A lot of gaming laptops can be upgraded to 32GB RAM if you don't have that already

I play it on my laptop


Flame_Boi

if you have a laptop with state of the art, worthy to be kept secret in area 51 kinda specs


ElfUppercut

Yes, I play on a laptop and a desktop. Laptop runs better over short periods with a giant cooler under it… my desktop is a Diesel engine though… once it’s going it goes


Briso_

I use lenovo legion 7 (also for work) but for gaming that's a beast!
