• Will my computer run garrys mod?
    10 replies, posted
So I just bought a Inspiron 15R laptop for college but I was wondering if I could play Garrys mod on it. I already looked at can you run it but it said failed. I was wondering if I use the lowest quality and use a game booster would I be able to run it? My videocard is an Intel HD Graphics 4000 and here are the specs.

I remember playing Garry Mod on a Pentium processor with Intel Graphics 2000. I got about 45 FPS with everything on high. You should be able to run the game on medium and or possibly high.
I appreciate it DatPolishGuy
Seriously, basically every today's computer can run GMod.

The intel HD 4000 is actually decent enough to run source-based games, it depends on what map/addon/etc you have loaded but you shouldn't have issues running it on medium with a decent framerate or low on a high framerate As a rule of thumb, a hamster wheel can run source games [sp]you might suffer if garry hasn't re-enabled multicore rendering yet, but there's nothing you can do about that yourself[/sp]
I have an i3 with Intel HD 4000, and it gets good frame rates. So this should get somewhat better since it's an i5.
You won't have a problem with GMod on that machine, especially if your screen res is 1366x768 which I would assume. My laptop with HD4000 could manage at about 50-60 fps at 1920x1080.
I used to run Gmod on my laptop when I was at work and it would get 20-30 fps if I turned off motion blur, bump mapping and spec mapping. Pentium M (2000 MHz/400 FSB/2M Cache) Intel GMA915 2 GB RAM The slowest desktop machine I've run it on was: Athlon XP 1700+ (1466 MHz/266 FSB/256K Cache) Radeon 9600 1 GB RAM It was about the same on this machine unless you had heavy physics activity then the frame rate would drop down to the single digits. So OP, your laptop is fine. Just make sure you have the proper drivers installed (ie. not shitty outdated and incomplete drivers from Windows Update.)
