    If your laptop has more than 2 cores/2 threads and has integrated graphics better than HD 6xx it is not low end.

    Now do it with 200 gigs of mods. I would love to know how stable Skyrim is with mods under proton.

      It only takes 1 badly made mod to make Skyrim unstable. I’m not sure what information you would be looking to gain from that.

      I’m in the process of doing that rn, probably not 200gigs but just enough to feel different from vanilla

      I’ve tried several lists over the years. The now defunct Thuldor’s Skyrim, and my current Tempus Maledictum list, both experienced the same issue. They get installed and run just fine, but i’m about 60% of the fps short, compared to Windows. I suspect it’s because of the vram overhead, and io bottlenecks in wine

        I’ve noticed stuttering issues in modded Empire War, but I also run heavily modded Stalker just fine with 60-70 FPS. Wine is a fickle beast.

        That was my general worry, i never got around to really testing it tho. Unfortunate to hear i wasn’t too far off on the IO bottleneck problem.

          There are some lists that are designed specifically to run with Proton and/or on the Deck, claiming solid 40-60 fps on the Deck, so i’d take a look at what’s available in Wabbajack. In my case, i’ve definitely expected more framerate, but i can’t really complain here, because this list is really heavy in most aspects. 100% worth playing though

      Not sure which one that is, but the first and second gen Ryzen APUs were fire. They were massively under appreciated at the time.

        Ryzen really shook things up when it came out. They were running on par, or nearly on par, with Intel’s current offering for like 2/3 the price.

          The laptop APUs were better than Intel, with lower power, and far better graphics!

          It got even more dramatic in the 4000 series. Renior is one of the best chips AMD ever made.

          TBH the press just had a hard time comprehending it back then, and it was lest dramatic on desktop (or tanky desktop-sized laptops with dGPUs) because Intel’s chips could clock higher for single-threaded workloads (at the expense of mad power usage).
