Can my laptop run Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Anniversary Edition (Classic)?

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 A 256MB Video Card (Shader Model 3) - 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.
