Re: Can I play Sims 4 on a Surface Laptop 3?
I have the same question
Forum Discussion
@JasonD716 Are you building a PC now? Or is this to add to an existing computer? Because if it's the latter, there are additional considerations, for example the power supply and whether it has a supplemental connector, as well as the room in the case.
To answer your question, yes, these cards are all fine for Sims 4. The desktop 1650 is about 10% faster than the laptop 1650, and these cards should all perform about the same as each other. They're all out of stock though, and may not be back for a long time. Graphics cards are impossible to find in the U.S. right now unless you want to pay between 60 and 100% over MSRP to a scalper. I imagine it's not a whole lot better in Canada.
@puzzlezaddict So all of them will perform better then the laptop graphic card and they would perform around the same
@JasonD716 The desktop version of a given graphics card is always faster than the laptop version, for various reasons. How much faster depends on the card, the laptop's basic settings, and which versions are in the laptop and desktop, but you can expect about 10% better performance for a desktop 1650 than a laptop 1650. The gap can end up being larger, but it's probably not going to be smaller unless there's something wrong with the desktop.
- @puzzlezaddict Thanks so much!

Can this one I linked this before can it play sims on ultra settings @JasonD716 All GTX 1650 desktop cards are within a few percentage points of each other in performance, and they can all run Sims 4 on ultra graphics settings without trouble.
- @puzzlezaddict Thank you!
- @puzzlezaddict and to go with the graphics card will this cpu be fine https://www.newegg.ca/intel-core-i5-10400f-core-i5-10th-gen/p/N82E16819118132?Item=N82E16819118132
@JasonD716 Yes, an i5-10400F is more than fine for Sims 4 plus whatever else you happen to run while playing.
- @puzzlezaddict And is this graphics card good to play ultra settings https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-GTX-1650-GAMING-X-4G/Specification
@JasonD716 As I said before, any GTX 1650 will be within a few percentage points in performance of all the other 1650s. They're all fine for Sims 4.
