    I'm so sorry I should have mentioned it in the post I'm a complete newbie when it comes to PC I understand next to nothing when it comess to system specs hence why I was asking. It's the main reason why I haven't delved into the world of PC so are the specs in the picture sufficient for train simulator classic to run smoothly on that laptop

    I would be cautious. TSC needs as big a singlecore performance as you can afford. Recommended specs are over 3,6 ghz! No amount of extra cores will help performance.

    Is that a lot for an old game?

    Is the 512GB in addition to what you have for the Windows operating system or do you need space for that too?
    If so you won't have much space for TSC

    Compare yours to the post above yours

    Always depends on what you consider "sufficient"...it will run on anything, but framerate and framerate stability completely change the experience. And even if the game core is now obsolete, the best you can afford, the better it will run.... A good gpu also allows you to use 2x2 SSAA which is nice if you have a fhd or 2K screen.

    I'm using an ASUS TUF gaming laptop, cost me £700, AMD Ryzen 7 6800H 3.20GHz processor, 16Gb DDR5 RAM, RTX3060 Graphics. It came with a 512Gb M.2 SSD installed and has a second M.2 slot which I used to add another 1Tb.

    TSC and TSW run like a dream, in TSC I'm getting 40-ish FPS with RW Enhancer 2 installed along with the shaders. My settings are 1920 x 1080, Anti-Aliasing is set to FXAA +3 x 3 SSAA with most sliders maxed out (apart from View Distance and Field of View which are just over 50%).

    Max I have had is 62FPS and it never gets below 30FPS.

    Hope this helps.
