nice! i was keeping an eye on that laptop for someone but they just decided to go with a desktop. how much did you pay for it? i know it was on amazon for $700-800 for the 250ssd model.

later on when im home, i’ll upload a picture of the game graphics settings. so you can just copy them.

remember to remove and disable any of the junk software that comes with dell and almost every new laptop.

EDIT: i “think” those are the best settings for your laptop. from fps to performance(graphics) to heat produced, ratio wise. you always have the freedom to change them to your liking. see image below.

I have the same laptop. I get a constant stream of 60 FPS with these settings. I’m not too much of a fan of Anti-Aliasing but if you need that, go get FXAA. I tried running with FXAA and still is good for me. For Character Model Limit and Quality you can definitely set this to Medium or High. I just like setting it to Lowest since I usually run events with a lot of people and I prefer FPS over quality on that part. This laptop can handle a lot, but the thing is, I don’t want to force it to run fully loaded all the time.

One thing to note is disable the auto-optimization by GeForce experience. It messes up your settings a lot when you play unplugged every now and then. Another thing is Dell’s SupportAssist. Make sure that you’re not playing during its scheduled maintenance or your FPS will drop to 20s while it does it’s thing. Personally, I’ve set it to manual and just run it once every 2 weeks.
