Can the HP Pavilion Plus 14 (2023) run No Man's Sky?
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 1060 (tier 4), Radeon RX 470 (tier 4), Intel UHD Graphics 630 (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 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.
