Cheapest T16 to run Yuzu/Ryujinx

#1 Post by swurl000 » Wed Nov 27, 2024 6:44 pm

What's the cheapest T16 that can comfortably run Yuzu or Ryujinx at 60fps? My budget right now is $250 but if I wait 4 months or so then $500. Would definitely prefer AMD, 16gb RAM, and preferably a terabyte of storage but I can upgrade that separately. Definitely gonna buy used, just wanna know what the minimum T16 is that's powerful enough

Ryujinx recommends a GTX 1060 6GB for baseline performance.

The closest you can get to that with a T16 AMD variant is with the T16 Gen 2 with Ryzen 7 7840U and built-in Radeon 780M graphics. Don't gen the version with Ryzen 5 7540U or 7545U as its Radeon 740M graphics is significantly weaker. The next choice would be the T16 Gen 1 AMD with Ryzen 7 6850U and Radeon 680M graphics. I have no idea how much they cost though.
Planned Purchase: T480s i5-8350 FHD Touch
Impulse Buy: Thinkpad not named for safety reasons :lol:

I ended up getting a T16 Gen 1 AMD with a 6650U and 660M graphics. Surprisingly, it has no issues running a lot of games at 720p60, I haven't tested anything like TotK though. I also got a killer deal for it at $400.
