No. Simply put. No need to sugar coat it. It wont even run it at 2k.

The Radeon RX Vega 8 is only about as good as an old Nvidia GTX 1050. It will run the game with most settings on good (NOT ULTRA) and VSync off, performing about 70-80 FPS on avarage on a 21" screen.

The CPU it self has good speeds, and if you lock one (or 2) of the cores on those 4.3 GHz, it is fine.

BUT, you will need a dedicated GPU.

As for recommendations, a budget is needed, because for 4k gaming, your $400 cant even buy you the needed GPU....

And you seem to lack understanding of what 4k really is, and the horsepower that it requires, as a "cheap" 4k GPU runs in at over $500 (where I live, cant say for you).

Edit:

Amazon.de : Nvidia RTX 4060

Ok, I mangaged to find some cheap 4k gaming cards, the NVidia RTC 4060, for $300. But it only has 8GB of ram, meaning you will not be able to play with settings higer than medium. The 16GB Ti edition to $440 (and up) is a far better choice.

I play 4K in Ultra on an RTX 2080TI (11GB RAM, but significantly slower than even a 4060). It doesn't like Ruhnuk (variable around 50FPS), and it's not hugely fond of new Hutta, but it runs much higher than medium. On a 4K/144Hz screen, with a 4K/60Hz screen to one side.

What did that cost you? Because new price was $999. And even today it costs significantly more than $300: Amazon.com : GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

When did you buy it?

And can you get one now?

Cheap (now) does not equal available (now).

Oh, and is has 11Gb of ram. That matters....

Can you link a laptop that would work for me playing? Amazon has some on sale today

MortenJessen · July 17

Hi there mate.

Now I am confused. Do you "just" want to play the game, or do you really "want" 4k?? Because those are 2 really, really different ball games....

But to answer your question about that laptop there: It will play the game just beautifully at all Ultra settings. But still with VSync turned off.

As long as you dont thermal trottle it, and the other "don'ts" with laptops and gaming.

But it still wont be 4k gaming...

I don’t care about 4k. Just looking to play the game again on something that works at a low price point

I’d rather spend $400-$500 because it’s probably the only game I’ll play. I honestly just don’t know what to get

Going from 1080 to 4k res is a big jump on GPUs. Just because you have 4k TV does not mean you have to run the game at that resolution through it.

Though with large tv unless you are running its native res it wont look all that great. Technically you could always run it in 1080 or something close on the 4k TV and even make you own (Nvidia, not sure about AMD)

I have a 1660ti, play on 2k maxed out with movies on another TV.

I would avoid apple for gaming, and anything with no dedicated GPU(im not to sure about those minis). AMD I do not know, but anything like 1080ti or 20xx or 40xx would work but i would avoid playing in 4k unless you have the higher ends. Any laptop usually comes with a 1080 screen so you can skip the whole 4k part if you plan on doing that.

There are quite a few cheep desktops with rtx 580s

This will do

One more

This is to give you a general, and more realistic, idea about what kind of machine, and price area, you need to operate with (in) to play SWTOR. Your budget is a little too low to make the cut.

The Processor needs speeds over 4.0GHz, with like 4.2-4.3 being good. The GPU needs at least 4 GB of ram. Just forget integrated units.

Also

Just had a closer look at those options you listed. If you up one just a little, it will do.

No. By preference, I don't play games on laptops.

2080Ti plays 4K/144Hz just fine.

On Ultra.

With a second (4K/60) screen bothering it.

Enough. (Translation: none of your business. I'm well-enough paid to be able to buy it. That's all you need to know.)

When did you buy it?

Not long after it came out, when it was the bees' knees, and most significantly, before the 30XXes came out. By all the Gods, it made CP2077 look *gorgeous*.

Yes, but do you know *why* it matters? (Hint: it *isn't* the absolute amount that matters.)

Will this play swtor on a 4k tv without issues? or can someone find me the cheapest computer or laptop that will work fine? Thanks!!!!!
