Quake Champions is FREE?? 
It’s been free to play for two years now.

Damn, I been missing out!
The PS4 was underpowered when it launched and most laptops from the last 3 years would smoke it easily. Especially if they have a dedicated video card and not that integrated motherboard shit that the cheaper ones tend to have. Anything decent from MSI or Asus would run almost all PC games pretty smoothly. I travel for work quite a bit and usually have a pretty solid gaming laptop and I never have trouble running much of anything, even on high settings.

So I’ve been seeing there are options for low, medium, high, and ultra high settings. What exactly does that mean? Would higher setting give you better visuals or better performance? I’m guessing better performance means sacrificing visuals, and vice versa, yeah?

Higher settings will give you better visuals. If you want better performance you need to drop the settings to something lower. Stuff like shadows, and anti-alias have a big impact with how well a game runs on your machine.

You can get way better than a PS4 graphics but still not be on elite level graphics as far as PC goes. There is a point where you need a Cadillac master race PC to run certain visuals, but for the most part you can run MOST games at higher than console graphics. My laptop is 5 years old and can still run most new releases pretty easily. The biggest bottleneck on laptop is weight and the video card. You generally are going to have to compromise in some area in that regard. I generally don’t care that much about weight, but I tend to consider the 15 inch screen size the best compromise. Go smaller than that and you run into real issues getting a powerful PC, but bigger than that you get into very heavy 17+ inch monster laptops that are just so big they aren’t fun to carry around.

I’ll also like to add that cooling and acoustics being potential issues. When a laptop gets pushed to the limit the thing can sound like a jet engine. It’s worth noting if something like that will be bothersome for you.

Should I pre-order Star Wars Squadrons on Steam or Epic?
I’m chadouken69 on Steam and Epic btw.
I saw your friend request.
I’m gonna reccomend Steam whenever possible and only get games from elsewhere if you’re forced. Although the Epic Store has been on a roll giving out a lot of really cool free games over the last few months.
You probably have a $1 Game Pass subscription since it’s your first time using it I assume, so check out the Xbox launcher as well.
Game Pass applies to PC, too??
It’s called Game Pass Ultimate since it comes with PC and Xbox access, and some of the games don’t have PC ports through GP yet, but yes essentially.

Always steam as that’s where the mass majority of PC gamers are at. I’ll only go Epic if the game is free or if you want an exclusive bad enough

So do you actually download the games with GP Ultimate, or is it a cloud/streaming service?
What are some notable titles?
You download the games. You can access them offline and on as long as your sub is active.
If you go here and scroll to the bottom, then click on the “PC” section, it’ll show you everything that’s also available on PC.

And apparently they are gimping the drivers on this so it not outshine its Quatro and Titan line ups
The card is Titan class. Having an actual Titan card would be redundant. Nvidia doesn’t need to fragment that market sector.
