Ok guys, cheapest laptop that will play Civ 6 @ 30 fps medium settings with a 1080p screen and a 256GB solid state.

So far I've got this:

and this:

What do you guys think? I would love other suggestions as well, thanks so much.

Both will do but it won't be a great experience. You might need to drop the resolution a bit to keep your 30 fps.

Based on the following benchmark results of Civ 6 on various mobile GPUs, if you want average 30 FPS @ 1080p resolution using medium settings, I would say you need a GTX 950m. The GTX 950m gets 46 FPS at 1366 x 768 using medium settings and 26 FPS at 1080p with high settings.

Integrated graphics performs very poorly. The A10-8700P has a Radeon R6 (Carrizo) iGPU. It is not on the list, but overall it is about equal to an Intel HD 620.

Doing a quick search on Amazon, the least expensive laptop with a GTX 950m is the following Lenovo IdeaPad 700 for $769.

However, at that price you might as well buy a Dell Inspiron 15 7559 with a GTX 960m for $712.
