Minimum hardware requirements for Sims 4 is real low... VIDEO CARD: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0. Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better, ATI Radeon X1300 or better, Intel GMA X4500 or better

Recommended requirements are still lower than your specifications so it has more than enough for that particular game. But you may have to better the Video card for higher settings. Recommended Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 650 or better, that would be around twice as fast as those HD6670 or GT 705.


Compare specifications to these.
