Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best laptop to play Dune: Awakening?
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 Dune: Awakening. Check our 'Recommended' or 'High' tier sections for a great balance of price and performance.
How much RAM do I need for Dune: Awakening?
While the minimum requirement might be 8GB, we strongly recommend at least 16GB of RAM for a smooth gaming experience in Dune: Awakening. 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 Dune: Awakening?
While not always a strict requirement, an SSD (Solid State Drive) is highly recommended for Dune: Awakening. 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 Dune: Awakening?
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.
