I've got an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (laptop) and the Demo runs fine on the highest settings! Please, check if it can perfectly run the game and add it in the list... Thanks!
@gothprincess4ever here is the games default settings for your card
card 0x68C1 "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series" $cardLevelLowmedium $resolutionMedium
low/medium settings and medium resolution
based on age of the age do be mind of the cards performance you may need to lower settings
Oh no, this saddens me... I thought it could at least run with some settings on the highest edge... My laptop is a bit old but I've got a good cooling system and haven't played many games except for The Sims, only 1-2 Tomb Raider ones and Mirror's Edge.
The computer I am possibly buying should be fine, but even my laptop should be ok. It says medium for my laptop card, but I feel low would be better suited until I confirm what computer I am going to buy!
Thank you, what an amazing thread! I will be playing on my boyfriends laptop! He has an i5 and Nvidia Geforce 540m. Happy to see that it will play well! I'm saving up for a new laptop. It's an MSI and it has the GTX 860m
@twinklekz Tip: Only use laptops if you travel a lot and/or require a computer by your side at most times. Otherwise, invest in a desktop PC, it's much cheaper.
@RazorXv2 I'm Irish and living in Canada with my boyfriend and I travel home and my laptop comes too! We live in an apartment too so no room for a desktop! When we get a bigger place (or our own house lol!) I will definitely be getting a desktop!
Can a graphics card really be "overpowered"?? You have marked the Radeon R9 280x as well as the Geforce GTX 780 as "overpowered".
What I mean by overpowered is that it would be a waste of money to buy an R9 280X instead of say an R9 270, because there would be no performance increase. Moreover, these cards would require more power, thus would mean the computer is more expensive to run, and would require better cooling because they generate more heat.
The only time I would recommend someone buy one of the graphics cards I've marked overpowered is if they knew what they were doing when it comes to monitor resolution. Those graphics cards are designed for more intense gaming, for example first-person shooters played at high resolutions.
here's the default game setting for your card
card 0x9904 "AMD Radeon HD 7560D" $cardLevelMedium $resolutionMedium
settings medium and resolution medium
i see your native resolution is already lowered at
Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz)
because of this you may be able to have higher settings if it visually helps, but of course only turn up settings if the system is running fine. and do note integrated chips typically do not perform well over the long haul, so its also possible you may need to lower settings once EPs, patches start rolling out

hey @twinklekz yea the 860m is a pretty nice card for your boyfriend it is important to be mindful of age of system, lowering settings could help this older system continue to play with out performance issues, good luck

I hope this makes sense,

for myself cards at that level are just for enthusiasts, definitely not required - now sli and crossfires - i think those set up are overpowering and actually could lead to performance issues so probably best for those good at tinkering software on top of hardware
I know I already asked about this comp, but now that you have the supported card list and I read online for this computer they dedicate 1gb to the card and the other 7gb to the system. Would that be ok? My dad doesn't feel like returning anything. If I don't want it he is just going to keep it. But I would prefer a free computer! Lol
Edit: I would like to keep the sims 3, ambitions, Uni and supernatural installed on the computer too.

The Sims 4 would probably use 2-3GB of RAM, and your other Windows 8 processes would only use 2GB maximum as far as I know. So that does leave you with some headroom if these numbers are inaccurate.
YAY!! I'm supported!! AMD Raedon R7 260 series graphics card :) Sometimes with Sims 3 I would get a notification saying it didn't recognize or support my graphics card... But this is a HUGE encourager for me, seeing as I'm "still on the fence" about Sims 4 :|

Thank you for the answers. I removed the specs for my computer for security reasons...
Again, thank you.
