\"Rocket Updated: October 15, 2021<\/strong>. I have to say, I don’t know how Rocket League<\/strong> became one of the best PC games of all time but it did. I mean, it’s essentially soccer with cars and rocket-powered boosters. If that doesn’t get you going, then I don’t know what will.<\/p>\n

\n The biggest plus of Rocket League is the game is simple to pick up yet hard to master<\/strong>. And it’s not like other games where you need to grind to progress<\/strong>. Whether you’re trying to learn your dribble or you’re playing in a tournament – you’re always growing, always moving forward<\/strong>. You’re not going to feel like you’re at the top until you actually reach it – and even then, there’s going to be someone better. This is where the addiction comes from<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n So, let’s find out what are the prerequisites for a laptop that’ll make your game shine.\n<\/p>\n

Requirements for a Rocket League laptop<\/h2>\n

\"Rocket<\/p>\n

\n I remember when Rocket League was just released. I played it on a potato PC, to be honest. But now, I’ve jumped back into the fun with a brand new rig. To get to that, I’d to spend quite some time researching the best graphics cards for Rocket League.\n<\/p>\n

\n For an old game, it still runs reasonably well on integrated graphics. You can expect around 25-100 FPS on medium settings (FHD). I know this range is enormous, but integrated graphics come in many flavors – some pretty good, some better not tasted. This sounds OK for the bottom-rung notebooks, but I guess you won’t stop there. In that case, my budget recommendation – GeForce GTX 1650 – delivers around 130 FPS on high settings. Yes, it’s a dated GPU, but it does the trick without spending a pretty penny.\n<\/p>\n

\n To get the best, let’s look into the freshest graphics cards in 2021. For starters, I have in mind RTX 3050 and RTX 3060. Both cards can be used in laptops with 4K displays or high refresh rates. For this reason, they’re ideal for 144Hz panels and the like. With these bad boys, expect to bump your head into the Rocket League FPS ceiling – a whopping 250 on FHD or a straight 100 on 4K. There’s no reason to go beyond that.\n<\/p>\n

Nvidia card variations<\/h4>\n

\n A keen eye for graphics card naming conventions would’ve noticed that I didn’t delve deep into all the GPU variations. That’s because there’s not much of a difference between Nvidia’s Max-Q, Ti, and Super series, so I’ll be brief:\n<\/p>\n
