• RAM: 16 GB DDR4
• SSD: 512 GB NVMe
• Examples: Lenovo Legion 5, HP Victus 15, ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (~$800–1,000)

Recommended for Crysis Remastered (1080p/60 High + RT)

• CPU: Intel i7-12700H / i7-13620H / Ryzen 7 7735HS
• GPU: RTX 4060 8 GB / RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB
• RAM: 16–32 GB DDR5

• Examples: Lenovo Legion Pro 5i/7i, ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14/G16, Razer Blade 14/16 (~$1,300–1,800)

Max Settings / 1440p / 4K

Key Features to Verify

• MUX Switch / Advanced Optimus – routes dGPU directly to display (10–15% FPS gain).
• Vapor chamber / liquid metal – sustains boost clocks.
• 140 W+ GPU TGP – check exact model wattage (varies by chassis).

Crysis Remastered at 4K/60 + RT needs 4080/4090 class. Original Crysis runs on a toaster by comparison.
