Can the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD run Valheim?
Minimum requirements
Probably can't run it
Just below the minimum requirements (one tier below the required graphics)
Probably doesn't meet recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 950 (tier 3), Radeon HD 7970 (tier 4); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — AMD Radeon 740M: FAIL. AMD Radeon 740M is tier 2; the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — AMD Radeon 780M: NEAR_MISS. AMD Radeon 780M is tier 3; the requirement is tier 4. That is one tier below the requirement.
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 740M: Does not meet the minimum requirements. AMD Radeon 740M is tier 2; the requirement is tier 4.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — AMD Radeon 780M: Probably can't run it: just below the minimum requirements. AMD Radeon 780M is tier 3; the requirement is tier 4. That is one tier below the requirement.
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.
