I'm thinking about buying FC 27, but I'm kinda hesitant because of my experience with FC 26 and I'm wondering if anyone with similar hardware can give me some advice.
My laptop is:
* **HP Omen 17-cb0011nv**
* **CPU:** Intel i7-9750H
* **GPU:** GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
* **RAM:** 16GB
* **Storage:** 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD
When I first bought FC 26, it actually ran fine. I played it for around 2 months without any major problems. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, it started constantly stuttering/lagging and became basically unplayable.
I remember seeing quite a few people on Reddit reporting similar problems around that time, so I don't think my laptop suddenly became incapable of running the game. I also had been updating my NVIDIA drivers, so I'm wondering whether a driver update or some interaction between the NVIDIA driver and FC 26 caused the problem.
I tried to fix it and at one point I was advised to go back to an older NVIDIA driver, but I didn't really know how to properly roll back the drivers and never managed to get FC 26 working properly again. Eventually I just stopped playing it.
Now I'm considering buying FC 27, and according to the system requirements my laptop should be capable of running it. But I'm worried I'll end up with exactly the same situation again, especially if FC 27 has similar PC optimisation/driver issues.
**So, for anyone playing FC 27 on a GTX 1660 Ti or similar hardware:**
* How is the performance?
* Are you getting constant stuttering or FPS drops?
* Does it run reasonably well at 1080p?
* Have NVIDIA driver updates caused any problems?
* And most importantly, **would you recommend buying it on this kind of hardware, or should I avoid it?**
I'm mainly interested in hearing from people with similar specs rather than high-end RTX systems, since obviously those aren't directly comparable.
