info_outline Other Game Notes
  • OFFICIAL PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for the original 2019 release. A 'Spacer's Choice Edition' with higher requirements was released in 2023. The following extrapolations for modern laptops are based on the original, well-optimized release.
  • Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance. Given the game's age and optimization, most modern gaming laptops will run The Outer Worlds at high settings and framerates without issue.
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Not a critical factor for this title, as even lower-power laptop GPUs can easily run the game at high framerates.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game is not overly demanding, but good cooling is always beneficial for maintaining consistent performance during long sessions.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: The game is not CPU-intensive by modern standards, and most modern mobile CPUs will handle it without issue.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus can help reduce system latency, which is beneficial for the game's first-person shooter combat.
  • Game Name: The Outer Worlds
  • 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

laptop Laptop Considerations
  • G P U T G P: Not a critical factor for this title, as even lower-power laptop GPUs can easily run the game at high framerates.
  • Cooling Thermals: The game is not overly demanding, but good cooling is always beneficial for maintaining consistent performance during long sessions.
  • C P U Power Limits: The game is not CPU-intensive by modern standards, and most modern mobile CPUs will handle it without issue.
  • M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus can help reduce system latency, which is beneficial for the game's first-person shooter combat.
  • 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.
