Definitely go for the 4060, comparing it with a 4050 doesn’t make sense.

Sorry, I’m new here. Would a 4050 be good enough for CS 1.6?

Yes, you should easily get more than 240fps

@Fay
With a GTX 680, you get 240fps in 1.6

6

You should consider a Pentium 4 for that purpose!

7

Just go for the 4060, it’s only $100 more.

8

4060 all the way

9

rtx 4060 and cs 1.6 can run on a celeron or athlon

10

Please avoid the Intel versions of the LOQ if possible. There’s a known issue where the motherboard may fail unexpectedly. You can look up this issue, it’s commonly discussed. The Ryzen versions are generally more reliable.

I’m aiming for at least 100 fps for smooth gaming. My internet connection is good.

Get the rtx 4060 model and you’ll be all set

Is it fine even with an Intel processor?

@Weston
Yes, Intel isn’t bad; it might run a bit hotter, but focus on the GPU as it’s the most critical component. Don’t limit yourself to a 4050 when a 4060 can offer 20%-30% more fps in games.

Opt for the Intel LOQ with the 4060; it offers the best performance, although it does have shorter battery life.

17

CS 1.6 doesn’t need these specs, but if you’re investing in a gaming laptop, definitely go for the i5 13450HX with an RTX 4060.

18

For Counter-Strike 1.6, you could reduce your budget. A GTX 1650 would be more than sufficient.

19

Look for a model with an AMD processor and a 4060 GPU. The last two generations of Intel processors have had issues.
