info_outline Note: Official PC system requirements as per Naughty Dog/Sony (March 2023 release). The game is known to be demanding on PC, especially for CPU and VRAM at higher settings. SSD is mandatory. Performance has improved with post-launch patches.

laptop_windows Laptop Performance Note: The Last of Us Part I on PC is very demanding. High-end gaming laptops with powerful, recent discrete GPUs (e.g., RTX 3070 Mobile or higher) are recommended for a good experience at 1080p High. Achieving high framerates at higher resolutions will require top-tier mobile hardware and careful settings optimization.

info_outline GPU TGP: A very high TGP for the discrete GPU is crucial (e.g., 115W+ for RTX 3070M, 90W+ for RTX 3060M) as the game can heavily utilize the GPU.

info_outline Cooling Thermals: Exceptional cooling is essential to prevent thermal throttling, which can significantly impact performance in this title.

info_outline CPU Power Limits: A strong multi-core CPU with good sustained power limits is vital. The game can be CPU-bound in certain areas, even with powerful GPUs.

info_outline MUX Switch Optimus: Utilizing a MUX switch or Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to maximize performance and avoid bottlenecks from the iGPU.

build Optimization Note: Supports NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and AMD FSR 2.2. These are highly recommended for achieving target framerates at higher resolutions or settings. Texture Quality (VRAM heavy), Shadow Quality, Draw Distance, Reflections, Ambient Occlusion, and Volumetric Effects significantly affect performance.
