The publisher lists GeForce GTX 970 (tier 4), Radeon RX 470 (tier 4); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU is tier 4; the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is tier 6; the requirement is tier 4. The publisher states 4 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 GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is tier 7; the requirement is tier 4. The publisher states 4 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 GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU is tier 7; the requirement is tier 4. The publisher states 4 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 GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU: LIKELY. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU is tier 7; the requirement is tier 4. The publisher states 4 GB of video memory and this GPU's video memory is not recorded, so the result is capped at LIKELY.

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.
