He narrowed it down to a couple of models, found reviews with all specifications and 3dmark benchmark results and what not. We still can't understand how we are supposed to figure out whether those specific laptops be good at running specific games.
All those laptop hardware designations are weird and fucked. What is even AMD Radeon Graphics?
Is there a site or something I can hardware specifications or 3dmark scores in to see if the laptop will run the game?
Borderlands 3 is graphically an extremely old game. Mid tier stuff from 2013 could run it perfectly near max. I know cuz my PC is from 2013 and does so.
But that just proves the point, in the last eight years or so nobody has managed to make very many games worth playing that need anything better than that. All the money is in selling trash to the widest audience possible, which means dumbing down the graphics. All the good stuff takes a long time to make, and is made by people who generally aren't going to spend a lot of time trying to make it use the latest tech, so by the time it comes out it's extremely easy to run.
It seems like the era of big budget games using all the latest tech to wow people and draw people in is over. There are very few games in that category anymore. The few that exist don't work because they didn't wanna spend the money to actually make a game on top of the tech demo.
