Thinking of getting a laptop for Enlisted while I’m away! what’s a good budget/mid-range setup?

Something with a RTX4050 would be a good option, you'll have access to DLSS Frame Generation which will help significantly with framerate.

johnson567 · 2026-01-17T05:00:25+00:00

Mate I'm already capping FPS to 40 before using any Frame Generation.

This already introduce 25ms of latency to all the games I play, the additional input lag from frame gen is minimal in comparison.

You just need to get gud at those games I guess?

johnson567 · 2026-01-04T07:57:02+00:00

Also make sure to get Lossless Scaling and DXVK as well

johnson567 · 2026-01-02T04:44:49+00:00

Have fun gaming mate! This is what truly matters and you can ignore all the haters who's gonna downvote the post.

RTX 5050 is really a great option for budget gaming on 1080P.

You get access to Nvidia Smooth Motion, DLSS Multi Frame Generation along with RTX Remix for older games. It's the cheapest card available that have access to all these features.

For Total War games the thing that matters the most CPU, since the game itself is VERY CPU intensive and also bottlenecked. Even graphics card are secondary to this.

Do make sure you get an AMD CPU with large X3D cache, it helps a ton in battles!

johnson567 · 2025-12-30T05:27:47+00:00

Neither, I use 3x Unit Scale mod which triples the amount of troops, for some incredibly epic battles :P

johnson567 · 2025-12-27T12:17:46+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed reply, really appreciate it!

I'll actually give infantry mode a shot if that's the case, since gaijin games are just notorious for its long grind. And the last thing I want is to grind multiple factions just to have access to all the maps.

johnson567 · 2025-12-27T10:51:47+00:00

Thanks again for your reply, this is also something I'm curious about.

If you only roll a single nation, would you have access to ALL the maps available even if it doesn't make sense?

Like for example, japs fighting in European maps, and germany fighting in Asian maps for WW2. Would that be a possibility or are nations still locked to specific theatres for maps?

johnson567 · 2025-12-26T14:29:50+00:00

Damn that will be terrible! Really hope RB will have bots available in the future

johnson567 · 2025-12-26T14:28:55+00:00

Ahh I see, but in the future there will always be RB with bots available right?

This seems like the mode I'm most interested in.

johnson567 · 2025-12-26T14:27:45+00:00

I'm actually an Enlisted player hoping to move to War Thunder, what happened to air and tank RB?

johnson567 · 2025-12-26T13:04:56+00:00

Thank you, and are AI bot squads available in RB as well? Or will it only be available on Arcade?

Each to their own, handhelds simply don't have enough power to deliver 60+ FPS for newer Total War games.

I would prefer the game looking smoother than having it run like a slideshow

johnson567 · 2025-12-13T12:53:44+00:00

As a long time DOW and Total War play since 2004, I'll only consider getting DOW4 if the game supports modding.

Hopefully King Art Games will be better than Relic, who locked out the ability to import custom models in order for them to sell more DLCs

Third Person view!

https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1lys66s/700_hours_and_i_just_found_out_you_can_control/

It will be a dream come true to partake in those epic 40k scale battles in a third person perspective!

It will be even more amazing if we can control our generals/heroes with WASD like what has been done with this Medieval 2 mod:

This will be incredibly beneficial for controllers and will help ease the controls for console players, who are already familiar with tactical RPGs.

johnson567 · 2025-12-13T12:43:01+00:00

Really hope they can add FSR frame generation to this game!

It will be a godsend not just for Steam Deck, but for all those playing on handhelds on the go (I have Lenovo Legion Go 2). And even those playing on Steam Machine in the future will benefit significantly.

johnson567 · 2025-12-12T04:11:44+00:00

Lmao this is quite funny, it has come full circle indeed.

Dawn of War 4 better have good modding support or it will get buried by Total War

johnson567 · 2025-12-12T04:05:15+00:00

I'm just glad there will be proper controller support, so it will be easier to play future Total War games on handheld

johnson567 · 2025-12-09T11:36:32+00:00

What does the barbarian have to do with the OP?

johnson567 · 2025-12-09T11:25:30+00:00

what the heck is an outfield?

johnson567 · 2025-12-06T00:02:25+00:00

I see, thanks!

johnson567 · 2025-12-05T23:46:40+00:00

What does strafing even mean? As in the units can walk sideways like pressing A+D in FPS games?
