• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Good Looks, Meh System

My laptop isn't the greatest by most standards:

Core basics
AMD Ryzen 5 3550H
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
16.0 GB RAM
Internal and external monitors both 1920x1080

But I still get what I consider great looks with fluid frame usually between 30-40 FPS. I wish I could find it again, but someone here (I think) posted a video early on that showed nearly every graphics parameter and compared every available setting. I watched it with a pencil and paper in my lap and took notes. When I was done, I was pretty happy with what I ended up with. So for the benefit of anyone here or any visitor that might happen by, here's what I'm running for Graphics settings. If one person gets something from this, I'll be satisfied.
