Hello,

I am looking for a new laptop and am completely baffled when it comes to graphics cards. Which of these laptops would run Sims4? I don't want to spend a huge amount so any help would be greatly appreciated as some people say integrated graphic cards are fine and some don't

not sure which is better Intel Core 7 or Ryzen 7

this one is a lot more than i wanted to spend but if needs must

So...

The first link has an Intel iris XE G7 with probably 96 execution units active built in.
The second link is a Radeon 780M built in.

Checking those 2 out on something like notebookcheck:

AMD Radeon 780M iGPU analysis - AMD's new RDNA-3 GPU takes on its competitors

Last year's Radeon 680M was much faster than Intel's iGPU and AMD are looking to further extend this lead with the release of their new Radeon 780M. We have received our first device equipped with the new 780M and have put it through a variety of benchmarks - can these high expectations be met?

The 780M is about twice as strong.

If you click around a bit more in that link, you'll see other game framerates at different settings/etc (didn't see sims4 specifically) which should give you an idea if it's enough without going full bore with the 3rd option :)

personally, I'd probably hunt around a bit more unless it has to be amazon. There's older GPU options around that'll easy beat the 780M for about the same money. I can find laptops with a nvidia 3050 GPU (about 1.5x the 780M) for £660ish
