Thanks for the replies, it’s nice to get a picture of where my system stands.
It’s a laptop, yes, in fact it’s my work computer. Six months into EA, I installed BG3 there because I’m not a trustworthy employee and performance was too rough on my gaming laptop, eg load times of about 30 mins. For the record, things ran fine (by my low standards) on the work PC up to patch 9, and even then it’s just the ladders that are broken.
I’m looking into getting a tower, but it’s a “want” rather than a “need”, so it may not happen right away. In any case, I feel like I got my money’s worth out of EA: It’s been an interesting journey, and patch 7 was a satisfying experience in its own right.
