info_outline Other Game Notes
  • Requires 64-bit OS and processor. DirectX 12 supported. Steam Deck Verified.
  • Laptop Performance Note: Unreal Engine 5 scales cleanly; 60W+ mobile TGP ensures steady 60 FPS in arenas.
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: 45W TGP for 1080p 60 FPS; 85W+ for 120+ FPS displays.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Clear vents maintain CPU below 80C under load.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Sustained 35W CPU power prevents stutter during 4-player co-op.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: MUX switch bypasses iGPU for lower input latency.
  • Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports NVIDIA DLSS 3.7, AMD FSR 3.1, and Intel XeSS.
  • Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Volumetric Fog and Particle Density have the largest impact.
  • Game Name: Kernel Hearts
  • Official PC system requirements for 'Borderlands 3' (released in 2019). An SSD is recommended for better loading times and texture streaming, especially with higher settings. The game supports DirectX 11 and DirectX 12.
  • Laptop Performance Note: Borderlands 3 can be played on a variety of gaming laptops. Laptop GPUs and CPUs perform differently than their desktop counterparts due to Total Graphics Power (TGP) and thermal constraints. The estimations below reflect hardware from around the game's release period or slightly newer equivalents for a good experience. **Always check specific laptop model reviews for performance benchmarks, especially TGP and cooling.**
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P Impact: The TGP of a laptop GPU significantly affects its performance. Higher TGP values for the same GPU model generally lead to better framerates.
  • Laptop Consideration: Advanced Cooling Thermals: Good cooling is crucial for laptops to sustain performance during long gaming sessions and avoid thermal throttling, which can reduce framerates.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Performance Sustain: A capable mobile CPU is needed to handle the game's demands, especially in busy areas or during intense combat, without bottlenecking the GPU.
  • Laptop Consideration: R A M Configuration Speed: 6GB is absolute minimum, but 16GB in dual-channel configuration is strongly recommended for a much smoother experience and to prevent stuttering, especially when many enemies or effects are on screen.
  • Laptop Consideration: Display Panel G P U Pairing: Match your laptop's GPU power to its display resolution (typically 1080p for this era of requirements) and aim for a refresh rate the GPU can consistently support (e.g., 60Hz or higher).
  • Laptop Consideration: Driver Updates O S Optimization: Using up-to-date GPU drivers and ensuring your OS (Windows) is optimized for gaming can improve stability and performance.
  • Optimization Detail: A P I Choice: Offers DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 renderers. DX12 may offer better performance on some newer hardware but DX11 can be more stable on older systems.
  • Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Resolution, Texture Streaming, Material Quality, Shadows, Draw Distance, Volumetric Fog, Screen Space Reflections, and Anti-Aliasing options (FXAA, Temporal AA) are key settings affecting performance.
  • Game Name: Borderlands 3
build Optimization Details
  • Upscaling Tech: Supports NVIDIA DLSS 3.7, AMD FSR 3.1, and Intel XeSS.
  • Key Settings Impact: Volumetric Fog and Particle Density have the largest impact.
  • A P I Choice: Offers DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 renderers. DX12 may offer better performance on some newer hardware but DX11 can be more stable on older systems.
  • Key Settings Impact: Resolution, Texture Streaming, Material Quality, Shadows, Draw Distance, Volumetric Fog, Screen Space Reflections, and Anti-Aliasing options (FXAA, Temporal AA) are key settings affecting performance.
laptop Laptop Considerations
  • G P U T G P: 45W TGP for 1080p 60 FPS; 85W+ for 120+ FPS displays.
  • Cooling Thermals: Clear vents maintain CPU below 80C under load.
  • C P U Power Limits: Sustained 35W CPU power prevents stutter during 4-player co-op.
  • M U X Switch Optimus: MUX switch bypasses iGPU for lower input latency.
  • G P U T G P Impact: The TGP of a laptop GPU significantly affects its performance. Higher TGP values for the same GPU model generally lead to better framerates.
