About Baldur Gate 3
Baldur's Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe of the Forgotten Realms. Players create a custom character or choose an origin hero, who is abducted and implanted with a Mind Flayer tadpole, a parasite that threatens to transform them into a monstrous Illithid. After escaping their captors, the protagonist must journey across Faerûn to find a cure, gathering a diverse party of companions, each with their own stories, motivations, and conflicts. The game features deep tactical turn-based combat based on D&D 5th Edition rules, extensive player choice with significant consequences that shape the narrative and world, complex character relationships (including romance), and exploration of iconic locations like Baldur's Gate, the Underdark, and beyond. Players must contend with cultists, aberrations, political intrigue, and the looming threat of the Absolute.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best laptop to play Baldur Gate 3?
The 'best' laptop depends on your budget and desired performance (resolution and graphics settings). Our guide provides tailored recommendations, from budget-friendly options for 1080p gaming to high-end machines capable of 4K with ray tracing for Baldur Gate 3. Check our 'Recommended' or 'High' tier sections for a great balance of price and performance.
How much RAM do I need for Baldur Gate 3?
While the minimum requirement might be 8GB, we strongly recommend at least 16GB of RAM for a smooth gaming experience in Baldur Gate 3. This allows the game to run effectively while also handling background processes from your operating system without performance drops.
Is an SSD required to play Baldur Gate 3?
While not always a strict requirement, an SSD (Solid State Drive) is highly recommended for Baldur Gate 3. It dramatically reduces loading times, getting you into the game faster and eliminating stutters when the game loads new areas. All our recommended laptops feature an SSD as standard.
How important is the GPU's TGP (Total Graphic Power) for Baldur Gate 3?
TGP is very important. Two laptops with the same GPU, like an RTX 4060, can have very different performance levels. A higher TGP (measured in watts) allows the GPU to run faster and deliver more frames per second. We specify target TGP values in our requirement tiers where possible to help you choose a laptop that performs as expected.
