Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Does not meet recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 1060 (tier 4), Radeon RX 570 (tier 4); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. 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 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS. NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation 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.
