Hack the Config Files for Even Better Performance If you aren't sure whether a game will run, Reddit's /r/lowendgaming (Opens in a new window) subreddit is a good resource to learn from other gamers' experience. I was shocked at how well some of my test games ran on a $500 laptop with integrated graphics, with nothing but a few settings tweaks. If running a game at 720p (or less) is what it takes to reach a playable framerate-typically agreed to be 30 fps-that's what you'll have to do. Not only should you lower fancy graphical effects like anti-aliasing, shadow detail, and texture quality, but you'll want to crank down the resolution, too. When you start up a modern game on a low-spec machine, it may not always use the most optimal graphics settings by default, so before you try anything else, head into your game's Video Options menu and turn down everything as low as possible.Īnd by "turn everything down," we mean everything. Let's start with the obvious: You'd be surprised how many games will run below the minimum requirements, as long as you're willing to give up some graphical fidelity.
