About League of Legends

League of Legends is built to run on almost anything. Its published requirements have barely moved in a decade, and the practical constraint on modern hardware is monitor refresh rate rather than GPU class.

Common questions about running League of Legends

Each link runs a real comparison against the published specification.

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 / AMD Radeon HD 5670 or equivalent
Processor
3 GHz dual-core processor
Memory
4 GB RAM
Storage
16 GB
Operating system

Can my laptop run League of Legends?

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 NVIDIA GeF 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.
