Valorant

What the publisher asks for

Riot lists a 144 FPS PC tier. It names a GTX 1050 Ti, Radeon R7 370 or Arc A310 graphics card.

Riot’s list is for PC graphics cards. It does not promise the same frame rate from a laptop GPU with a similar name.

Counter-Strike 2

What the publisher asks for

Valve publishes minimum requirements, including Windows 10, 8 GB memory and a DirectX 11 graphics card. It does not publish a recommended FPS tier on that page.

Minimum specs say the game can start; they do not promise smooth play or high refresh rates.

Open world

Grand Theft Auto V

What the publisher asks for

Rockstar’s recommended PC tier for GTA V Enhanced lists 16 GB dual-channel memory and an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT.

Those are requirements for GTA V Enhanced and use desktop-card names. The laptop test may use a different game edition; laptop GPU power limits and cooling also change results.

Open-world racing

Forza Horizon 5

What the publisher asks for

Steam lists a GTX 1070, Radeon RX 590 or Intel Arc A750 in its recommended PC tier.

These are PC requirements, not a guaranteed laptop frame rate. The exact-model result below came from an outside review.

Exact laptops with published results

A model name alone can’t predict your FPS.

Gaming laptops with the same graphics chip can perform differently because of power limits, cooling, memory and screen resolution. Results here come from named outside reviewers; PennyRoutes has not tested these units. Upscaling, frame generation, resolution and missing patch details can change what a number means.
