Will sims 4 run good on a Microsoft surface studio 2

Hi, I was wondering if the sims 4 can run on the Microsoft Surface Studio 2. The specs are Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050. I do play the with tons of mods/cc and have at least half of the packs. I am currently playing on the Microsoft Surface Book 2 with a Samsung 1TB SSD and it does lag, which I’m okay with.

  • @Trin1719  The specs you've listed should run Sims 4 on ultra graphics settings, although the game may lag a bitwith your large cc collection, and probably if you try to play at the laptop's native resolution.  4500x3000 is a lot of pixels to render even for a high-end GPU, but you should be able to reduce the in-game resolution somewhat to improve performance without sacrificing quality too much.  Please keep in mind that the game lags sometimes because of how it's built as well.

    You'll also need to make sure the laptop can cool itself adequately while you're playing, which basically means keeping its vents unblocked and not placing it on an insulating surface like a blanket.

    If this is the machine you want, there's no Sims 4-related reason not to get it.  I do want to mention that you could get the same internal hardware and performance for significantly cheaper, but then you probably know that already.
