Can the Precision 3580 run Guild Wars 2?
Minimum requirements
Probably can't run it
Just below the minimum requirements (one tier below the required graphics)
Recommended requirements: not rated yet
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 680 (tier 4), Radeon HD 7970 (tier 4); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS. NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU is tier 3; the requirement is tier 4. That is one tier below the requirement.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
