The publisher lists Feature-level-only requirement (DirectX / OpenGL / memory size, no chip named) (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. Sword 15 A12UC-295 (single-SKU MSI spec sheet) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU: PASS. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU is tier 3; the requirement is tier 1.
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.
