So im really interested in buying over watch because it looks fun as hell but im not 100% sure if my laptop can run it tbh so here are the specs, can i run it?

Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz RAM: 8 GB

Could i possibly play on the lowest settings?

This is exactly what I was going to post.

This is a really good source for finding whether you can run a game on either its minimal or recommended settings for a large variety of games with your specific setup. If there's a game you want for your PC, this is a really good source for checking whether you can run it on your computer. I've used it myself, and it's a really good way to find whether your machine can handle a game you want before you buy it (or download it if the game is free).

it's not always completely accurate though, keeps telling me i can't run fallout 4 even though i run it on a stable 60 fps and i've been playing it for 200+ hours lol

I made a similar test just a moment ago. Played whole Witcher 3 at high details in 1080p at 30+ FPS, but it says it shouldn't work at all.

It told me that I can't run over watch on my GeForce 750m. It says my i7 isnt good enough either lol.

This isn't true.

Same, I have my PC slightly over recommended, but it still says I'm only at "minimum" ones.

I think when it came down on even being able to run the game, you'd have check your available video memory against that of overwatch's minimum requirement. CPU is fine, ram is fine.

With integrated graphics though, a lot of the time you're screwed when it comes to dedicated vram.

dude its a meh game, i played a beta and got bored with it after 2 days. Hardware wise it scaled pretty well, my PC is 6 years old and played at stable 60fps @1080p.
