FS2020. Laptop flyer? Anyone? Chime in!

Hello, I also have the same 'Specs" as you, except I only have 16GB ram so far. I purchased mine on Jan 1, 2021. So I am happy to hear you are happy with the Laptop. I am an old timer and really a newbie when it comes to anything related to “gamming.” I just don’t like games, however MSFS 2020 got me excited enough to try it.

I will be here 'listening," trying to learn :slight_smile:

Specs: Specs: Lenovo Legion 7i/Intel i7-10875H/ nVidea RTX2060/16GB memory/1TB M.2 NvmeSSD

What does everyone think will I be able to run it or should I look at a new setup?

These are my laptop specs:

Lenovo Yoga C930

i7-8550u CPU @ 1.80GHZ
11.8Gb usable Ram
64 Bit
Windows 10

I think I know the answer but I am hoping someone will have an idea

Intel integrated graphics. I think you will be disappointed with this rig.

I can say that please look at another rig. Integrated graphics won’t cut it. I am running a RTX2060 and all can say it is sometimes struggling on a heavy scenery cities.

Good luck in finding your new laptop.

MSI gp75 Leopard with a I7-10750, RTX2070 &16gb ram
I capped the sim at 45 FPS and runs @1080p with mostly high settings

mostly limited by CPU/heat

Acer Nitro i5 -10300H @2.50 Ghz
8GB ram 512 SSD
Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 6GB ram
in normal mode plays well, It will do VR (Oculus quest 2 with link cable)and I find it acceptable with Buildings and clouds on medium.
Does run hot -temps 67C to 87 C

Laptop user here. RTX 2060 mobile and i7-9750h with 32GB ram. High/Ultra results in about 20s in dense areas, 30+ elsewhere. I have the laptop hooked up to a 1440p 144hz 27inch monitor and a laptop cooling pad to manage temps. Never go above 75-77C when gaming. I also use Logitech Extreme 3D pro.

Running 1080p on High settings + some Ultra very well on my HP Omen 15 2020 laptop with the i7-10750h, RTX 2060 mobile, and 16 gb ram. HP really did a fantastic job with the cooling on this one, never get thermal throttling. Usually ~20-25 fps in dense areas, 30-40 fps otherwise especially with GA aircraft.

Which screen size or monitor you guys run? My options are either the onboard 15” screen or a 55” TV so I’m considering something in between. The 55” is awesome for immersion but the laptop barely can run 1440p so 4k is out of question for now.

Thing is, the pixel density is no good specially sitting 2 foot away. The 15” on the other side is too small, cant read nothing on the gauges without a mega zoom.

Also I can run 1440p but it’s a stretch… 35 max fps over ocean and around 25fps in LA or NY, so 1080p is a much better option regarding smoothness.

This is my portable gamer so I’m not so worried about it

ROG Zepyhrus G15 (2021)

Ryzen 9 5900HS
16GB RAM
RTX3080 (80W) with 8GB VRAM

1440p with high preset mostly 35-40 fps, dense areas between 25-30 fps (NYC, SEA) with a Skyhawk

if you could bump up your RAM to 32GB will be superb

Anyone try the sim on a Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 6 laptop? Thinking of making that my “stopgap” until Hybrid Computing and DDR5 matures over the next 2 years. Plus it’s “just” small and light enough to actually travel with.

I also play on laptop

Specs : Legion 5 Ryzen 4800 h RTX 2060 16 GB RAM

Ultra high and with recent updates average fps around 40- 50 fps

Probably will run better. I am Legion 7i 2020 model user and having a blast in MSFS 2020. Though I m a GA plane flyer.
