Likely meets minimum requirements
Likely meets recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 560 Ti (tier 2), Radeon HD 7750 (tier 2); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 2. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU is tier 4; the requirement is tier 2. The publisher states 1 GB of video memory and this GPU's video memory is not recorded, so the result is capped at LIKELY. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU is tier 3; the requirement is tier 2.

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.
