Can the Aspire 14 AI run Sid Meier's Civilization VI?
Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Recommended requirements: not rated yet
The publisher lists GeForce GTS 450 (tier 1), Radeon HD 5570 (tier 1), Intel HD Graphics 530 (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — AMD Radeon 860M: LIKELY. AMD Radeon 860M is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. The publisher states 1 GB of video memory and this configuration only has shared/unified memory, so the result is capped at LIKELY. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Graphics: UNKNOWN. Intel Graphics has no tier yet, so it cannot be compared.
Which configuration do you have?
This laptop is sold with 2 graphics options and the answer can differ. Pick yours — nothing is stored.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — AMD Radeon 860M: Likely meets the minimum requirements. AMD Radeon 860M is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. The publisher states 1 GB of video memory and this configuration only has shared/unified memory, so the result is capped at LIKELY.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Graphics: Not judged for this configuration. Intel Graphics has no tier yet, so it cannot be compared.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
