I have a nice workstation laptop. It's an i7 with an Nvidia graphics card, but I couldn't play the game because it kept overheating so bad. I tried thermal paste, but it didn't work.
So I had to go out and buy a new PC when Stadia shut down.
I ended up getting a desktop, and wow, this new thing plays BG3 without a care in the world, smooth as can be.
I barely can reach constant 1440p 120 fps on ultra with a desktop 3080, and I use DLSS. I would recommend a RTX 4080 laptop, something like the HP Omen 17.
How do people know what their fps are?
It can be enabled as an overlay with Steam :

Thank you!
That is enormously helpful, especially with the screenshot.
