Likely meets recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 950 (tier 3), Radeon HD 7970 (tier 4); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is tier 3; the requirement is tier 4. That is one tier below the requirement. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS.
