Can the ThinkBook 16 G8 IAL run Dying Light?
Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Does not meet recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 560 (tier 2); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 2. Intel Core Ultra 5 135H — Intel Arc Graphics: LIKELY. Intel Arc Graphics is tier 2; the requirement is tier 2. Intel Core Ultra 5 225H — Intel Arc 130T GPU: LIKELY. Intel Arc 130T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 2. Intel Core Ultra 5 225U — Intel Graphics (Core Ultra U): NEAR_MISS. Intel Graphics (Core Ultra U) is tier 1; the requirement is tier 2. That is one tier below the requirement. Intel Core Ultra 7 255H — Intel Arc 140T GPU: LIKELY. Intel Arc 140T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 2.
Which configuration do you have?
This laptop is sold with 4 graphics options and the answer can differ. Pick yours — nothing is stored.
- Intel Core Ultra 5 135H — Intel Arc Graphics: Likely meets the minimum requirements. Intel Arc Graphics is tier 2; the requirement is tier 2.
- Intel Core Ultra 5 225H — Intel Arc 130T GPU: Likely meets the minimum requirements. Intel Arc 130T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 2.
- Intel Core Ultra 5 225U — Intel Graphics (Core Ultra U): Probably can't run it: just below the minimum requirements. Intel Graphics (Core Ultra U) is tier 1; the requirement is tier 2. That is one tier below the requirement.
- Intel Core Ultra 7 255H — Intel Arc 140T GPU: Likely meets the minimum requirements. Intel Arc 140T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 2.
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.
