Can the Aspire 5 Spin 14 run Sid Meier's Civilization VII?
Minimum requirements
Probably can't run it
Just below the minimum requirements (one tier below the required graphics)
Does not meet recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 1050 (tier 3), Radeon RX 460 (tier 3), Arc A380 (tier 3); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 3. Intel Iris Xe Graphics (inferred): NEAR_MISS. Intel Iris Xe Graphics is tier 2; the requirement is tier 3. That is one tier below the requirement. Assumption: we have no configuration list for this model, so the graphics are inferred from its Intel Core i5-1335U and assumed to be integrated-only (a version with a discrete GPU would rate higher). (Core i5/i7 U-series parts of 12th/13th generation use Intel Iris Xe Graphics (Core i5-1335U); the manufacturer notes Iris Xe needs dual-channel memory (single-channel configurations get UHD Graphics).)
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.
