How to Optimise the game for a Gaming Laptop with a 4 GB Graphics Card?

My Laptop specs are: intel i5 11th gen with 8 GB RAM and RTX 3050 4GB VRAM how do I optimise this game for a balanced experience.

This is a pretty detailed (video) guide with solid advice. Helped me out, but my PC is much stronger. I didn't need to take much down a notch. Should be plenty helpful still. I didn't listen to most of the advice and got my frames stable.

That said, the minimum requirement is 12 GB RAM. Others here have pulled it off with less, but I'm pretty sure they were using at least a 6GB video card.

...whats your benchmark results at lowest settings?

you're better off getting a PC. Sell that laptop and just get a PC. Laptops are not reliable at all. Had an gaming laptop and GPU stopped working, had to replace the whole motherboard for the exact price as the laptop. Then I got a PC cheaper than the repair, runs 2x faster.

you need twice that amount of actual RAM. the vram amount is fine and that GPU is more than enough, but the game will overheat that laptop without the actual memory needed to store and compile the shaders correctly because it will be relying on the GPU to do that work.

that gpu is capable of doing so, but it's a laptop and the main reason those gpus, (as good as they are,) die in those laptops is because they have the least amount of cooling they could possibly have and they end up overheating from both working too hard and having too little ventilation.

and the vents that they do have mainly get clogged up with dust and debris which also ends them quicker.

so as good as that laptop is, it's not something you should be trying to use on games that are graphically demanding, especially not ones where you will pour hours into because the longer you run it that way the faster it's going to die.

and even though i said the ram will decrease the load on the GPU, that doesn't mean the GPU won't suffer playing this game.

it's just gaming laptop design, they're not actually meant to be legit gaming rigs but more of a portable version you can play games with on the go, and not these kinds of games either.

games like fortnite and such, where graphics aren't the priority, frames are.
