You dont list any dedicated graphic card for your system.
So i guess you only using the integrated graphic chip on your CPU, in this case "Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics".
Which already is the crux of the problem, that integrated graphic chip is too weak to run God of War in any acceptable quality/framerate.

Bad news is since that is a mobile CPU i guess you are on a laptop?
In that case there is not much you can do since you cant upgrade the graphic card in a laptop at all. Either you already buy one with a dedicated GPU from the start or you are out of luck, sorry to say.

Actually no I'm not using a laptop I actually think the laptop might be better then the pc but the computer I have is one of those all in one computers because my parents didn't wanna spend to much money since it was a Christmas gift

No AIOs are basically laptops that can't fold. "if" your AIO has thunderbolt, (which it probably doesn't) you could try an external GPU enclosure, but you're probably just better building a cheap PC and just using your AIO as a display.

All-in-One PCs combine all the disadvantages of a laptop and a desktop PC.
They are not portable, but use the same underpowered hardware a laptop does that can not be updated.

And i agree, a new PC would be in order. Preferrably not an all-in-one.

[RyuTheHollow]

is it difficult to build a pc how would you even do that?

[Cathulhu]

Difficult? Not exactly.
But you can also just get a pre-built desktop PC. One you can get out of the box, remove some transport material, connect your stuff to it and then just turn it on.

so if i were to get a pc would the all in one computer bacsically become a monitor for the pc

Not neccessarily. AiOs can't automatically be used as monitors. If you want to use it as one, see if it can do that first.

[Cathulhu]

Possibly not. Would be a waste of power anyway as you can't turn on just the display and not the PC in it.

[RyuTheHollow]

Ok would you happen to have any tips on where I can get a good pre-built desktop that's not to pricy

[Cathulhu]

Depends on your budget and country of residence.

Check out refurbished computer shops. Previously-leased business PCs are dang cheap and all they often need to become a sensible budget gaming machine, is a graphics card (which you can obtain used for cheap). Today ain't a bad time to buy used graphics cards.

What about the videocard? If it's just the integrated videochip, then you will not have a good time. 16GB RAM is rather low these days as well. Should opt for 32GB RAM.
