Processor: - Intel® Core™ i5-5200U Processor
- Dual-core
- 2.2 GHz / 2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost

Memory: 8GB RAM

Graphics card: Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 4400

I can run skyrim on medium/high I think, so can I run fallout 4 on a medium? would it still be worth playing on low? I don't have a console and don't fancy buying one just for it tbh.

Assuming you'd get it through Steam, you could always get it and try it - if it doesn't then just get it refunded. 2 hours, remember :tongue:

I'm fairly new to steam so I don't know what the conditions are for a refund haha, does that mean I can get a refund within 2 hours of buying it then?
With that graphics card, I highly doubt it. Are you sure you can run Skyrim on medium/high? Even that seems a bit unlikely, unless your FPS is in single figures or something.
lucky to get 5fps

I believe it's within two weeks of purchase, and you have played it for less than 2 hours.
No, loading up the game would probably set that Intel GPU on fire :/ The minimum specs are quite high for a Bethesda game this year, no integrated GPU will run it.

Yeah, the only thing that stopped me from playing it is my lack of usb mouse. Definitely playable on medium, maybe pushing it a little with high though.

No, you need four Titan Xs in quad-SLI to even have a hope of running it on medium.

Processor was a 2.1Ghz Dual core of some sort, 6 GB of RAM, Graphics card was same as yours. You've got .6Ghz more than I had and 2GB more RAM, it ain't enough unless you don't mind playing it on like 10fps or something ridiculous

Well graphics card is your biggest problem there, not CPU and RAM. Or rather, the fact that your computer doesn't actually have a graphics card (HD 4400 isn't a card, it's just part of the CPU) is the problem.
