Laptop or ps5

[JRPG GAMER]

I wanted to get this game on ps5 but that is still a month away 😭

So now i am thinking on (also) buying it on my gaming laptop

I have everything for the recommended
Stats exept
Nvidia 2060 Super / RX 5700 XT (8GB+ of VRAM)

I have a gigabyte aorus 15g
With a rtx 3060 mobile (6gb)

how would my experience be on my laptop?
I have it hooked to a 4k samsung tv btw
and i play it with a controller

I know on ps5 it will be 4k/30 fps

But i was wondering if i could play this game at atleast 1440p on my laptop and with what settings

Fps i don't care much about as long as its atleast 30

so I was curious at what settings people here can play the game with an rtx3060 laptop
without sitting next to a jet engine 😂

Otherwise i go wait for Another long month and play it on my ps5

Take Geforce now ( the game is avalable )
The good question is : Play with a controller is it good with the Steam Version ?

[Muppethero]

I agree Gforce now Is a good option, 10 bucks or 20 bucks a month for a good rig you use remotely

I am not getting another subscription
(i have already to much subscriptions)
Or a new pc etc.

And divinity original sin 2 played also great with a controller on ps4 atleast

So i think that this game will also be fine with the controller support

And if not i just need to live with it
I only play games with a controller

If the laptop is too loud and you can't fix it then use the PS5.

Avoid geforce now, cloud gaming needs to die asap.

ps5 also uses a subscription if you want to use any of the services.

I would not recommend trying it on the laptop. 6gb of ram is less than the recommended, and you are trying to play at a very high resolution. In addition, laptop GPUs are worse than their desktop equivalents in terms of power.

You could try it for a very short period, then refund it in less than two hours. But I don't have much hope at all for a good 4k experience with that laptop. Better to enjoy it on the PS5 in my opinion.

If you plan on using mods then laptop is an obvious choice, but if you dont care about them why not ps5

[JRPG GAMER]

Alright thanks for the info

Then i go wait Another month for the ps5 release
and try to avoid all spoilers 😅

This will be a long month 🙈

If you are playing at 1080p you are probably fine unless you want to max everything out. And if all else fails you can just use FSR or the Nvidia equivalent and you're fine anyways.
The burning ship in the very first section is pretty performance heavy so you can confirm with the 2 hour time you have to refund if it doesn't work.

There have since been some benchmarks released in the last few days which can help to clarify this question.

1. Firstly, the laptop RTX4050 is approximately equal to the laptop RTX3060 in performance at around 110w (about middle of the road), with some small variation at different power levels.

2. The RTX4050 can get about 50fps at 1440p in Baldur's Gate 3 in native rendering and ultra settings.

This is without DLSS.

Therefore, we can reasonably conclude that the laptop RTX3060 should be able to manage 4k at least around 50fps with DLSS quality or balanced and high to ultra settings.

In real terms, I bet the 3060 and PS5 experience in BG3 is roughly similar, because of DLSS and the game's relatively low vram requirements.

For this game, personally, I would definitely lean towards PC over PS5.

I play exclusively on a laptop, similar to yours, but I don't have it hooked up to a TV so I run it in 1080p. In 1080p with all settings on high, I get up to around 100fps but I cap at 60fps, cuz why make the machine work harder than it needs to.
I would think 1440p is doable, but you might have to tweak the setting and maybe drop down to medium on most things to maintain 60fps.
30fps should be no problem on almost any setting.

Iplay on a Sager laptop with similiar specs same refresh with high to ultra graphic settings. I think that you will do just fine with your laptop. my graphics card is a RTX-2060 FWIW

[Tony ._.]

was in the same situation as you. i opted for laptop. having the rog ally also made the decision easier too
