RTX 2060 Laptop could run Halo Infinite?

Hi Spartan
i have an MSI GE75 RAIDER 9SE Laptop with this Specs:
Intel(R) Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Ram 16gb dual Channel
RTX 2060 6gb
OS: Windows 10
screen: 1920x1080
according to you how many FPS I will have?
thank you all for your cooperation

We know nothing about the hardware requirements to run the game, but considering it will run on an Xbox One from 2014, it’ll likely be optimized enough to hit 1080p 60 fps on something like a 2060, but like I said, we aren’t gonna know until some actual hardware requirements are given. You will need win10 tho

First off, nice laptop, that’s pretty good.

We have not been told the required specs for Infinite, lets just hope you can run it on a 2060, I have a 1660 super so I’m in even deeper trouble :I

Considering Halo Infinite will be targeting to run at least 1080p 60 on the Series S, you should be able to run the game on reasonably high graphics at 1080p 60fps.

if you can run warzone or various other demanding titles like cyberpunk 2077, you’ll be able to run Infinite.

no game in the next 5 years will need more than 8 cores, and no game will need more than 8gb of vram from your graphics card for quite a while

top end of vram usage is typically slightly over 6gb in extremely demanding games like control, black ops cold war, death stranding and horizon zero dawn
your graphics card and ram are your most important componenets when it comes to frames and resolution. a 2060 with 6gb vram and 16gb of actual ram will run it no problem.
more often than not, your cpu ends up just preparing new frames for your graphics card since it has it’s own separate processing unit. ont always the case but generally how it goes for alot of games.

you’ll easily get 60fps at 2560x1440p at a mix of - high/ultra settings. especially if they integrate Nvidias magical dlss enhancments (I had a 2060 6gb that did 1440p in most games, not all though)

infinite will not be as graphically demanding as you expect due to the stylization, they chose a blend of classic halo style with a modern touch, rather than hardcore realistic graphics. the textures are flat and less detailed but look great from better lighting sources, and Ray Tracing(can help give objects and surfaces more depth)

there’s this thing called FOMO- fear of missing out. don’t give in right now, nvidia just released a non TI version of the 3060 at a lower price(329usd) and AMD has yet to release the rest of their new cards throughout the year. you’ll be fine where you’re at but if you can’t resist fomo, try to get a 3060 , 3060 ti or a midrange amd card once they release them and when prices level out.
3060Ti does 1440p ultra settings 144fps in most cases(Have one paired with i9 9900k) usually max out at 65°C
if you wanna keep your machine alive and healthy for the next few years, 1080p 60fps highs/ultras will be no problem, but if you don’t mind high temps in 75°C+ range since it’s a laptop and shaving a year or two off its lifespan then crank it to 2560x1440p for halo infinite. my old 2060 typically maxed out at 73°-75° and i had nowhere near ideal cooling in my PC

I know two people irl that use 1660TI for call of duty warzone, 1080p 60fps, high/mediums and have no issues(according to them)

my guess is min specs with be a 1660 ti for graphics card and 8gb of ram, considering 343 claims it’ll run on og xbox ones

While there’s been no official word on the system requirements yet, I think it’s pretty safe to presume you’ll run Infinite pretty fine at 1920*1080 with ray-tracing turned off (if they do launch with ray-tracing at all) and other settings set to high.

thank you very kind, having a monitor in 1080p 144hrz do you think that with ray tracing off I will reach over 60fps with everything maxed?

I would max most settings out except for thing like screen space reflections, what level of ray tracing(some games now let you choose the rtx detail level and quality), and shadow caching. your best bet with 6gb of vram is a mix of highs and ultras with ray tracing OFF. if the game ends up with dlss, you can definitely max it all out and use rtx as well. play it safe and mix most settings between high/ medium and see what temps you get/ fps. if its too high or too low, just crank something up or down. I really can’t see you having issues when a 1660ti can still run demanding games at a modest pace

I think you will be fine to run Infinite on that as long as you don’t try hooking up to a TV and try to play in 4k. The laptop GPUs don’t have the same power level as the desktop versions due to cooling and power supply limitations.
I have a similar laptop that I bought recently and it will handle plenty of games at max settings for 1080p and some at 120 frames with power to spare. I need to fill the remaining RAM and SSD slots though. Due to files size I anticipate Infinite will be limited to 60 frames on most laptops but that’s probably not a big deal unless you are going to focus on high level competitive play.

I would think at 1080p you will be run the game quite well with that laptop, probably don’t need to be concerned. I don’t think the graphical demand for the game will be terribly high.

I’m cautiously excited to hear about minimum and recommended specs. I doubt that my RX 480 8GB and i5 6500 will fall into the recommended specs, but they are both overclocked so that really muddies the water. I honestly enjoy tweaking the settings until it runs just right and if i turn the graphics down i might just hit my 2K 75Hz target. Anyway, I really want them to announce the min and rec specs.

I recommend a pc instead of a laptop, because there is no space for all the components unlike a desktop laptop, it will get hotter with the Halo graphics, it will get hotter and the performance will drop, I do not know how much, but it is it sure happens

To speculate on the specs a bit, the game will be a Free To Play competitive FPS, competing more directly with the likes of Rainbow 6: Seige, CSGO, Overwatch, and Valorant.

We don’t know just how well optimised the game will be, or how well Slipspace runs, but I want to assume that the Free To Play component should run on similar systems that can run the previously mentioned games.

Yes of corse if I set all to Ultra and play 60fps for me is perfect! Thanks for your response Spartan!

I would be surprised if you wouldn’t be able to play stable 60+ fps with mid to high settings at full HD, even with RTX on. And that’s low balling!

We can’t know for sure of course though, but the RTX 2060 is one of the most common GPUs around together with the GT1080. I would say when it comes to optimization I should be more afraid than you -> RTX Quadro 4000 - More powerful, great for 3D and high res drawing, but often the last wheel of optimization for gaming! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy::rofl::see_no_evil:

Long story short, you’ll be fine mate! If not 343i would be in trouble! :slight_smile:

I’m guessing yo have a workstation then huh? I can;t imagine even enthusiast level gamers having a quadro unless they also have an immense workload

I can’t imagine you’ll have any trouble–if you do, so will 80% of PC gamers.

I’ve got a PS5 and a gaming laptop myself and you really can handle anything with modern specs. You certainly don’t need a desktop.

Yep!^^ I’m an architect with a graphic design background and always around, so I kinda had to go with a laptop (even if it was hard to abandon my desktop initially). I basically live thanks to visualization and high-res art assets. It’s really good for rendering videos as well, but I barely do anything in that field. If I need to do something more realistic with V-Ray I can always collaborate with a studio though, so a WS was the best choice for me. No regrets!

I’m even trying to make the main office I work with to jump onto quadro cards and real time renderings (something like an Rhino7/U4 + Twinmotion combo or at the very least Sketchup with Lumion), because that does wonders with the clients. You can even change materials as well as night and day cycles on the fly. A quadro helps a lot in this regards! If it was just for gaming I would never have bought something so costly though, that’s for sure.

If it was solely for gaming I would have gotten a machine with similar specs as OP though. The MSI GS75 with a RTX2060 is more than capable and the 2070 ain’t wort it imho. Of course there is also a the 3000 series, but for now those are only interesting for desktop usage. It’s like the Max q era all over again, just without the label! The price for desktop cards is really competitive though! I guess if you get a high end one like the 3090 you won’t need to change GPU for almost a decade. Those cards are little monsters! Is it worth it however? Especially if you only game? Unless you got a really nice 4k screen I doubt it for now. I rather go mid-range, keep it for five-ish years and see what’s up next!

Same for the CPU. I got a 10th gen i9 for work, but a 8th gen i7 for gaming is already overkill imho. Everything above that and you’re set for the whole gen imho! :slight_smile: As for RAM I would guess memory hogs will become more common, but we got to wait and see. 16 gig should be enough in most cases!

Coming back to laptops, I just wish MSI and ASUS products would ship with better build in Wi-Fi cards. Love their machines, but most come with an intel AC 9260 or 9560 and those are just garbage sadly! Always get an USB adapter compatible with your modem/router if you wanna play online and can only access to Wi-Fi. Or even better get a new card altogether and replace the AC (if you know what you’re doing) . Either way you won’t regret it!

To be quite frank, the 3070 isn’t worth the price in comparison to the 3060ti either, you get a 10% performance bump and that’s it, only true bump is in 4k, it does run 15-20% better for 4k. but with 1440p it hovers around 10% faster for some reason.

on a 3060ti, if i’m already pushing 158fps max, at 1440p ultra settings in games like coldwar with ray tracing on because of dlss, that 10% upgrade to a 3070 really just doesn’t cut it. the 2060 super and 2070 had a similar performance ratio. just not worth the upgrade price.

mid range with always be the best option unless you’re insanely rich and can afford all of the high end gear to top it all off, so full agree. was cool reading about your experience with it as well from just working in the field! very interesting stuff!
