Would Intel HD play ESO?

Hey guys!

Just wanted to ask if an Intel HD 520 Integrated GPU can handle ESO :)

If it helps, the laptop (Ultrabook) is on i7, running on 8 gb ram, and has 256 SSD storage :)

Thanks!

    ESO looks really ugly on low settings, if you fear that your game will be running on those :).

    Here some data for the ESO benchmark.

    While my GPU was in a lab, I played ESO on my i5 integrated HD4600... Yeah, had to put it on medium/low settings, but it did play.

    I know that those integrated video cards depend on the mother board they are running on , the latest ones probably yes if you run on i7

    @deepseamk20b14_ESO @e1team @Gargath Thanks a lot for the comments guys :) been planning to get an ultrabook to bring with me. Was planning to get an ASUS or Alienware but damn, those things are heavy.

    I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not guaranteed that ESO will run on your Intel card. While it may run, please note that it is not supported.

    I procceeded to ignore everything I read on that article after finding this sentence:

    "Maximum details and 1920x1080 pixels demand quite a bit more of the hardware components, but more than a GeForce GTX 850M or GeForce GTX 765M is not imperative. Thus: The engine seems to be extremely well-optimized."

    The game engine is crap. Whoever wrote the review is testing graphics cards mostly and is ignoring the fact that this game is CPU heavy. You can run this game with a semi decent card as long as you have a strong CPU.

    Thanks very much for the clarification!
