Greetings,

I'm running a nine year old PC with Windows 7 Pro I built myself for doing Adobe audio/video with my company with 48Gb of nine year old RAM Elite never comes close to using. Then later added a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti replacing two 690 video cards in SLI mode. I play on an Acer Predator wide screen curved monitor that can go to 3440x1440 playing Elite smoothly (giving me motion sickness looking at it too long) but I go to 2560x1440 windowed. Then bring other alps in the background as in the Forum, EDDY, Inara, Corolis, ED_Shipyard and others while watching YouTube videos with no lag whatsoever with the game or the videos ruining at the same time. Well for me anyway.

The point is that Frontier did their homework and for years got this game to work on PCs old or new. One can play it on newer laptop! Will they ever get to atmospheric planets with clouds, weather and landing on one of the six major cities on planet Earth? Given the current world issues always a mess maybe Frontier doesn't show New York City in the future for offending someone. But if they did the current year in Elite is 3008. If they do it by 3010 Maybe Ill need a better computer. I'm watching TigerDirect, NewEgg and Amazon if Frontier ever announces landing on Earth. Will they still be in business? We can hope...

Regards

Well thank you for the detailed description, looking hopeful I may be able to play Odyssey after all, just need to get some hardware now. Been playing Elite Dangerous since it came out on PS4. I have loved the Elite games since I got the original Elite back in the day on ZX Spectrum & played both Frontier: Elite 2 & Frontier: First Encounters. Since Frontier have announced they would be giving us console Cmdrs the opportunity to copy our profiles over to PC I have been itching to carry on the Elite journey. On that note, has anybody heard any more about the console to PC transfer since the original announcement?

It's pretty much as advertised, but on a stream they mentioned that they might improve the transfer of carrier assets. That is to say (my interpretation) hopefully you won't have to sell the carrier and it's content, but you'll be able to clone the account more or less completely.

The laptop as specced in the OP will be fine for non-VR 1080 res. Not sure if you'll see 144 fps, but will be good enough.

If planning to move around a lot a laptop makes a lot of sense, but if fairly stationary a small form factor PC like one of Corsairs pre-builts may give you better performance and longevity. Issue with laptops is they heat up quickly. The more heat, the less performance.

I only mention it because I know people who got a laptop and I never saw it move from their desk for years. Good luck with your gaming.

Thanks Shadragon for this. So in a nutshell this should do fine then as it will be non VR. Mind you, if you could recommend a Corsair pre-build for between £1000 - £1,100 max that would be as good or even better performance wise that would be great (y).

Laptop with RTX 3050 runs it ok. I enabled vertical sync, it keeps 50-60 fps most of the time. Some drops to 30 when it calculates flowers etc for couple seconds.
Sometimes it drops till 20 for no reason, opening galaxy map for 4 seconds fixes it. Guess some bugs yet there.
