New Laptop RTX 2080

[Kelseybrielle]

 Hello everyone, I’m hoping you all can help me with something. Recently my gaming laptop died, my son spilled juice on top of it and it is no longer working. I am shopping for a new laptop and currently the one that I am looking at has a graphics card of Nvidia RTX 2080. My previous laptop had a graphics card of GTX 1080, so I don’t know if the new laptop that I’m looking at, if the graphics card will support the Sims 4, Since I haven’t really found anything on mine regarding it. If anyone has experience with this graphics card or knows if the Sims 4 does in fact support it (Although I don’t see why it wouldn’t) I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking to buy a new laptop Thursday. Thank you in advance.

@Kelseybrielle  Yes, Sims 4 does support RTX cards.  I'm reasonably sure I've seen people post here who've been running the game on a 2080 (and actually running the game, not asking for help getting it going).  I'm certain the RTX series in general is supported.  There's no reason why a 2080 wouldn't be fine.  Occasionally, a newer card isn't listed in TS4's database, but fixing that is as simple as adding one line of code to one file.

Also, wow, a 2080 for playing TS4.  That seems like overkill (not that it's a bad thing), but I'm sure you already know that.

Thank you so much! I thought it was, but I wanted to make sure, and yeah I thought it was overkill too. I’m still weighing my options. Thank you so much you have helped a lot!
