Will Sengoku run on this laptop?

[Mariposa3]

My current laptop cannot open Sengoku Dynasty, so I am looking for a budget-friendly new one. I don´t know much about the technical details but have done my best to understand a bit of it in order to make this choice. I have found a Lenovo Legion 5i 15IAH7H Gaming Notebook for about 1000.- eur. I think that should work but am not sure. Can someone knowledgeable please verify this for me? Thank you!

System requirements are at the bottom of the Steam store page. Note The game is on UR5, which runs poorly, so jump 1 or 2 steps above the requirements.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have read the system requirements but I find it rather difficult to make sense of them. For someone who is not into this stuff it is difficult to know what exactly means: 1 or 2 steps above the requirements. It is a lot of letters and numbers and which letters mean better and which ones mean worse, and even more so: how much better or how much worse, I am really not sure. I have tried to understand it, and, as a result, can make a guess . That is how I came up with this idea about a possible laptop in the first place. But I really would not trust myself in this. That is why I am asking.

A step up from GTX 1060 for example is a GTX 1070. 2 steps would be a GTX 1080.

When playing games, these are the things you need to worry about
1. GPU
2. CPU
3. RAM
4. Storage (HDD vs SSD vs NVMe)

Minimum specs as stated by the store in the same order.

1. GTX 1650 with 4 GB VRAM, OR Radeon RX 570 with 4GB VRAM, OR Intel Arc A750 with 8GB of VRAM.
2. Intel Core i5-8400 OR AMD Ryzen 5 2600
3. 12GB RAM
4. 15GB available space. No mention of needing SSD, so HDD is sufficient.

Again, you failed to list your computer specs. Your model is possible shipped in several variations.

Taking just one variation, it's possible you have.

1. RTX 3060 Laptop GPU with 6GB VRAM
2. Core i5-12500H
3. 16GB RAM
4. 1TB M.2 SSD

Judging by this, your laptop is well beyond minimum specs.

Thank you very much for explaining this in detail!
In the description it says it has
1. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
2. Intel Core i7 12. Gen
3. 16 GB (it doesn´t say RAM, but I suppose that would be that?)
4. SSD (according to what you say that would be better than HDD?) 1 TB
So according to those data, that would be enough?

Start playing, have fun.

Thats good specs although Id go for 32 gig ram for gaming

SSD goes without saying these days—trying to game on an HDD in 2024 is a fool's errand unless you want to be able to order a pizza, answer the door when the delivery girl shows up, and eat the pizza before the game's done loading.

Thank you for all your comments! Good to know about the RAM and SSD. (I thought that more RAM would be better but among those that were recommended for low budget, none had more than 16. Of course, it is always possible that I have overlooked something.)
Can anybody say with certainty that this will work specifically with Sengoku Dynasty? As I said I do not own this laptop, I´d have to buy it. So I´d like to be sure.

I definitely agree with using an SSD, but as far as minimum specs go, it's not going to prevent the game from running.

Id bet my bottom dollar it would work. Those Laptop specs do meet the games recommended standards. As others have suggested, a safer option is to buy one with specs slightly higher, mainly so if there are updates or even when newer games come out, you dont want to have spent that money, only for it to last a short time because games constantly increase the demand on the laptop specs as they evolve. Having said that, the laptop is 17, no worries there. nvidia card at 3070, no worries there. go ahead and get it if its the only option for your budget, then save up a bit more and have extra ram put into it to boost it to 32 Gig. And, get a large external SSD to use for installing your games onto. That way, you save the space on your actual laptop. I am a retired IT tech. .. oh and make sure the RAM is not integrated. Some models are now coming out with it "built in" so yo cant even upgrade it.

Thank you, Pantheria! I think I will buy it.
I am going to copy your tips and save them for whenever I might want to buy or upgrade a laptop. So thank you again.
For the near future, I do not worry too much about other games, though, because I tend to play very few games but then play them for a very long time.

[Mariposa3]

I bought it, the game is running well and I am having a lot of fun! So thank you all very much!
