Hello🙂 It is time for me to get a new laptop. That is the good news but looking at the system requirements makes me confuse on which one to get. The operating system and memory is easy but the graphic card is very confusing and not sure which lap tops have good enough graphic cards. This is Linden's suggestions: The column on left is minimum requirements. I am looking for something in the $800 range. to give you an idea looking at or Asus with Intel® UHD Graphics 620Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive + 128GB Solid State Drive (i like this one touch screen and 2 in 1) Samsung - Notebook 9 Pro - 15” Touch-Screen Laptop – Intel Core i7 – 16GB Memory – AMD Radeon 540 – 256GB Solid State Drive - Titan NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better OR ATI Radeon 9500 or better OR Intel 945 chipset NVIDIA Graphics cards 9000 Series: 9600, 9800 200 Series: 275 GTX, 295 GTX ATI Graphics Cards 4000 Series: 4850, 4870, 4890 5000 Series: 5850, 5870, 5970

Hi everyone, My PC has an Radeon Rx 480 8GB Graphics Card, an Intel i5 6500 CPU and 16GB RAM. In theory, this means that I should be able to play Second Life at a high setting, possibly even the highest settings. However, I can only use the medium setting. Anything higher or lower drops the FPS to a crawl. At medium, it stays at around 30 FPS, which isn’t ideal but it’s still playable. In empty areas, it shoots up to 100 FPS, but it is only 30 FPS in any remotely busy area. The internet I have is atrocious because I am using the university’s wi-fi, though I’m planning to get an ethernet cable. Is it possible that it is a network issue, or could it be something else? If it’s something else, how can I resolve it? Thanks for any advice.
