I recently got a new laptop for college in a few months but I figured I'd test out Skyrim AE on it, something that would run like absolute garbage on my old laptop. Now it runs like a dream on my new one :D

Tested some more games that didn't run on my old laptop and they all seemed pretty good.

Made me wonder what else I could play on it.

Here's the specs;

• CPU: Ryzen 7 5835u

• Graphics card: Vega 8 integrated graphics (512mb)

• 16gb dual channel ram

• 956gb SSD storage

• Windows 11, 60hz refresh rate, 1080p screen resolution

Since I come from from a background of low end gaming, I really don't mind lower graphics, I'd take anything above 30fps 720p.

So far I've tried these, all ran at 720p;

• Skyrim Anniversary Edition - 50-60fps - high

• Fallout 4 - 30-60fps - medium-high (a funny case, outskirts areas and interiors are super smooth while the city drags the game down.)

• Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning - 55-60fps - high

• Halo MCC, Halo 2 Anniversary - 45-60fps - medium

• Halo MCC, Halo Reach - 60fps - high

• Batman Arkham Knight - 30-60fps - medium

• Resident Evil 7 - 40-60fps - medium (takes some tweaking)

• Resident Evil 2 Remake - 40-60fps - medium-high (tweaking as well)

• Saints Row 3 Original - 50-60fps - high (cutscenes seem capped at 30)

Are there any games you can recommend? I'm usually into stuff with story or open worlds, shooters and exploration. Thanks in advance!

Windows 11, the RAM is dual channel and the storage is SSD.

Hi! I've previously posted onto this subreddit with a similar question but I'm yearning for more answers, so I've removed the original post and I'm gonna try again.

I know this probably might not be much for heavy gaming. Gaming wasn't really my main intention when buying this laptop but it's got the ability to run some decent stuff. I have a 1080p screen but everything works better at 720. I'm assuming my GPU is the thing dragging me here the most.

Here's some benchmarks I've already tried, all running at 720p;

•Fallout 4 - 40-60fps, medium-high graphics

•Skyrim Anniversary Edition - 45-60fps, high graphics

•Batman Arkham Knight - 30-60fps, medium graphics

•Halo MCC, Halo 2 using anniversary graphics, 45-60fps, medium graphics

•Halo MCC, Halo Reach, 60fps, high graphics

•Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning - 55-60fps, high graphics

I've seen videos of people running GTA5 on this at 1080p med-high graphics at like 40-60fps, would probably work wonders at 720-768p.

I'm not a big fan of strategy, I'm big on exploration, open worlds and the like. I'm also a fan of story games and single player shooters. Really comfortable with anything that can keep a steady pace at 30fps+ at 720p. Thanks in advance :D
