• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Marvel Rivals. This information is based on the official PC specifications from developer NetEase Games, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a fast-paced hero shooter built on Unreal Engine 5, the requirements are moderate to ensure accessibility for competitive play. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For a competitive shooter like Marvel Rivals, maintaining a high and stable framerate is key, making a laptop with a strong CPU and a well-cooled, high-TGP GPU very important.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential to ensure the GPU can maintain its boost clocks during intense, graphically demanding team fights, preventing performance drops.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game can be demanding during chaotic moments. A robust cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance, which is critical for competitive play.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong single-core and multi-core CPU performance is important for processing the game's physics and character abilities without bottlenecking the GPU. Adequate power delivery to the CPU is key.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency, providing a tangible advantage in a fast-paced shooter where reaction time is critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game supports a full suite of upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS. NVIDIA Reflex is also supported to reduce system latency. Using these technologies is the primary way to achieve high refresh rate gameplay.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance is most affected by settings like Global Illumination, Reflections, Shadows, and Effects Quality. For competitive play, many users will opt for lower settings to maximize framerate and clarity.
