Thread: Gaming Laptop for RDR2

    Default Gaming Laptop for RDR2

    My son is looking to play RDR2 on PC. He's looking at the following laptop. Can someone who knows about PC gaming and the requirements needed please let me know if this will likely be able to handle RDR2 effectively?

    Rdr2 is easily one of the most demanding games out right now. On low settings 1080p I'd put him at a solid 60-70 fps most of the time.
    The only rude person I met was a taxi driver in kagoshima. I was going from the train station to the ferry to take it over to an island and was showing him my papers and he was like "oh, climb mountain?" and I'm like "hai, yep!" and he made a muscle pose(bent arm, whatever you call it) laughed, and rubbed my belly.. like "oh, no, you fat american fuck, you no get up there", but whatever - Japhrimel

    Should be fine. RDR2 is like a 120gb install though.

    Those specs are kind of tight, he'll be able to play but it may not be the most enjoyable experience. 1650 is essentially the bottom end of current 'gaming' cards.

    If your budget is tight, Id recommend just getting a ps4 and play it on that. Will be cheaper. But if you need a laptop its going to be hard to get much better than that at that price point.
