In combat, most of the settings will be high mixed with medium on 1080p resolution to maintain 60fps, (fatal blows, intros/outros and krypt will be crippled in some cases to 30-35fps; but you can lock them to 30 anyway). You can experiment with AA, it isn't good as on PS4 but you can do a lot of tricks with external applications to improve picture quality (and you can connect it to a TV too).

The game isn't "CPU heavy" but watch out for the temperatures because gaming laptops still struggle a lot to keep the CPU cool even with fans rpm maxed out and incredible loud noise (frequency can drop down and cause the loss of performance). You can play a little with undervolting (watch it on youtube), in some games I had a temperature decrease up to 20 degrees...

Edit: I just saw 8 GB of RAM. Upgrade it to 16, some people were complaining about frequent stuttering. The system can use up to 10-11 GB in some cases...

With 3gb of vram and 8gb of ram you'll have some stuttering issues

It will run ok but the specs are not really good to run the game properly

The requirements list 8 gb of ram, but that what you need available to use

If your pc has only 8gb, with windows eatiing 3gb you basically have 5gb left so the game will use you hard drive for extra ram, and that 100% constant disk ussage will cause stuttering

This will happen regardless of wich settings you are playing with, i would reccomend adding another 8gb ram stick to that pc you bought

It will help a lot not only with this game but with the overall perfomance of the pc

I have a similar laptop, MSI GL62M (1050 2GB), and it runs decently, IMHO. I have it at 900p with a mix of medium and low settings, and it definitely looks worse than my on desktop PC, but if you turn the brightness down a bit it kinda makes up for it. The biggest issue is that it takes up 100+ GB, lol.

You may want to buy the game at full-price on Steam and then refund it (make sure you do NOT go past 2 hours of game time) just to see how it runs for you, and then get it on sale on a different site (or wait for the Ultimate Edition next month).

Thanks to everybody. I forgot to say that im not expecting to play it at 1080, maybe 1600x900 or 1366x768. So i will wait for next month update to get it.

It should play fine on Full HD with medium settings.
But be aware that the game takes more than 100 GB of storage. If 256 GB ssd is all the memory you have, you won't have that much space left.

Upgrade to 16GB ram or don't bother playing on that laptop.

Why? Game uses 7.2Gb max while loading stage, average memory usage is between 5.2 and 6.7Gb. If you don't trash your system with a lot of useless junk running in background and don't keep a browser with 10000 tabs open you'll be fine with 8Gb. It's better to close everything but Steam and game itself while running heavy games anyway.

3Gb VRAM will be a bottleneck though - 1366x768 with medium-high settings will be the best bet. Because with highest texture settings even with just FXAA MK11 eats 3-3.6Gb VRAM in any resolution starting with 1366x768. Actually VRAM usage difference between 1366x768 max and 1080p max is about 300-600Mb

And OP will need to upgrade that SSD unless he wants to play only MK11 or that and 2-3 more games. USB SSD/HDD won't be a good option because they are much slower than SATA HDDs, not to mention M.2 SSDs.

3Gb without extra stuff open aren't really 3Gb, but 1Gb plus caches. And the way caching works is when program wants more memory cache will be flushed and shrunk in size.

I never had issues with game swapping with 8Gb RAM (unless we're talking about DX12 version but it's better not to use that at all.)

OP needs bigger SSD first and then RAM.

GTX 1650 Super is bare minimum for NVIDIA GPU with this game to play in ULTRA 1080p.
