Is my gaming laptop good enough or should I get it on console

[BuffaloWings]

My laptop specs are:

12th Gen Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Type-C, Cooler Boost 5

or should I just get it on my console to be save, only considering on pc for mods

[Tokenn]

It's a matter of taste, I think. I'm not sure if any mods are _necessary_, even if they are often fun. I'd be more concerned about playing this great-looking on a small laptop screen.

Probably better off on console as that is not a gaming laptop and the rtx 4050 is just meh. Also the game uses a ton of cpu in addition to gpu and generates a lot of heat, so yeah, probably better off on console.

It depends on the performance that you're looking for. For me, anything around 50 to 60 fps with all of the ray tracing options turned on, and lighting to medium is good enough for me.

A 4050 will easily get 60 fps I'm thinking, especially since you have the framegen, but I'm not sure what your performance goals are.

I run it on a laptop with RTX 3070 Ti, i9 12900h, 16GB DDR5, External 2tb SSD.

Calling BS on that,
Highly doubtful that laptop is getting anywhere near 60 fps in this game. A 3960 ti soundly beats a 4050 in performance. And my DESKTOP with a 10700 cpu and 3060 ti gets about 35-40 fps with a mix of med and high settings at 1080p with ray tracing on. And that doesn't even factor in the amount of heat this game generates. My desktop (air cooling) gets hot enough to dam near fry an egg on.

In my opinion that laptop would not provide a good cyberpunk experience. As much as I hate to say it, console would be better. The thing that makes playing on pc better is the ability to crank up the settings and you completely lose that ability with that laptop.

4050 will easily get 60 fps w/ dlss, medium-high settings, and RT off.

this isn't even factoring in framegen which will almost double fps.

My laptop definitely gets hot as hell. Although, not as bad as it did before they optimised the game better. I'm pretty sure Ray Tracing is a big performance hit. I get 60 fps with it off.

I'm using the dlssg to fsr 3 mod for my RTX 3060 Laptop.

With framegen, I get about 50 to 60 fps on average with said stuff turned on, and minor dips into the 45 fps range here and there.

You'd be absolutely right otherwise.

[(WTH) Fuzz]

I literally run it on my GTX 1650 laptop, all low settings, fsr on auto and I get about 45fps.

Think you should be fine for 60fps on your rig.

I was running it on around medium settings on my old laptop with a gtx 1660 ti so I think you should be good lol

How are you liking it? We have the same laptop basically and I'm struggling between getting it on Epic Games (Ultimate Edition for $35) or PS5.
