However, let me say that the benchmark I carried with the 3050Ti was with a laptop that had a Ryzen 5 5600H. This means you can play the game for long sessions and still not worry about reducing the lifespan of your laptopĬPUs dont make nearly as much difference as the GPU does especially on gaming laptops since they all have ALMOST equally powerful CPUs between different models having the same GPU. This is why I recommend the 3050Ti over any other model: It’s not just because the framerates are high with high graphics (which means a more stable gameplay) but the fact that it’s able to do so at safe temperatures. However, it is not ideal for 1440p gaming.įor that you’d want to invest on a 4060RTX and a QHD display, both increase the price to the 1300s. It should be able to support heavy mods with heavy shaders as well. Some models have support for DDR5 but not this model.Įither way the 3050Ti gives you the best performance for the game at 1080p without overspending money on unnecessary extra power. This year’s 3050Ti model will have an updated CPU. In 2024, there are MANY newer GPUs like the 4050RTX, 2050RTX but none of them offers the same best bang for your buck as the 3050Ti. If there’s computer jargon you don’t understand, just check the videos or if you want read my guide beginner’s guide to computer jargon so you can understand what’s being talked about hereīest Laptop For Sims 4 – All Expansion Packs, CC and Mods Taking out the most expensive one (1200 dollar laptop), the price range is 350-750 dollars. I’ve picked the following 5 out of those benchmarks because these five laptops are for all budgets: 350-1200 dollars. This is a short list but the last section has more benchmarks and models (in tables). Super useful if you have integrated graphics.Ģ56GB: Most laptops will have this much and this is fine for 5-7 “HEAVY” expansions (18-26GB each).ĥ12GB:If you want to install MOST if not ALL expansions on a single laptop, you need this much.ĬC&Mods: don’t require much storage (1-5GB) so don’t worry about it. Incrases fps by 5-15 depending on the game. Check my post “How to Upgrade RAM” to see how easy the proces is.ĭual-Channel:This means installing RAM with two sticks of equal size and type (provided your laptop supports dual channel mode). You want to do the upgrade, this will boost iGPU performance. No need to upgrade or look for laptops with 16GB RAM.ġ6GB: If your budget is below 500 bucks and you get integrated graphics. Opt for 5th, 6th gen Ryzen CPUs & Intel CPUs from any recent generation (8th-13th): integrated graphics are FAST and powerful.ĨGB: This is all you need if you have a dedicated GPU.The CPUs are fast but the integrated graphics (Radeon 610M) are too weak. Avoid 7th gen Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 CPUs.Should be bought for portability & battery purposes (School & work).ī) If your budget is below 500 bucks, CPU is what matter most because that dictates the kind of ‘integrated’ graphics you get: MX450 and MX550: Cheapest ‘decent’ dedicated graphics. ~120-150fps on Ultra Settings.ģ060RTX, 4050RTX: Starts to be a little overkill for Sims 4 but useful for 1440p gaming.ģ070RTX, 4060RTX & above: Completely overkill for the game unless you want to run 1440p with much higher framerates.
You can compare specs vs performance.īefore we get into the best laptops for sims 4, lemme give you a few more tips:Ī) If you’re budget is above 550 dollars, focus on the GPU like I said.ġ650GTX, 2050RTX: Bare minimum to play the game at Ultra settings.ģ050Ti: Best bang for your buck GPU. I’ve summarized the latest benchmarks above. Author Profile Best Laptop Specs for Sims 4ĭont worry about the CPU and the rest of the hardware, gaming laptops automatically come with the proper set up so you only need to focus on the GPU.
