Can my laptop run Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game?

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 SVGA DirectX®: Any DirectX Hard Drive: 565 MB Sound: DirectSound 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.
