Not sure how your parts compare? Run the check above or read what these tiers mean.
Can my laptop run GameMaker?
The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the Dedicated OpenGL 4-compliant onboard graphics named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
