I have an NVIDIA GTX860M which is pretty old, but when I check whether it meets the minimum requirements on the Can You Run It website it, I have almost double the required VRAM, however my pixel and vertex shaders are both 5.0, whilst Palworld supposedly needs 5.1. What does this mean if I were to play Palworld with this GPU? Thanks in advance.
Is My GPU Good Enough to Run Palworld?

True I just wanted to see if anyone had any insights into what pixel and vertex shaders do
Used to have a laptop with GTX860M — that was from 10 years ago. The minimum requirement for Palworld appears to be:
- VIDEO CARD: GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB)
However when you do a comparison between GTX 860M vs GTX 1050, you'll find 860M is a lot slower. So I think I'll conclude with "no, your GPU is not good enough to run Palworld".
Avoid userbenchmark like the plague, highly biased 'reviews' and completely useless
Which sites do offer more reliable real world benchmarks then?
Reputable YouTube channels ie. Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed (should cater to ~95% of relevant comparisons anyone would want?), https://www.cpubenchmark.net/, hell even Reddit would be a more reputable source than userbenchmark.
One shouldn't rely on a single source anyhow.
How can one take a site seriously when they have 'reviews', ON EACH PRODUCT PAGE, like this:
First time buyers tempted to consider the RX 7700/7800 XT by AMD’s army of Advanced Marketing scammers (youtube, reddit, twitter, forums etc.) should be aware that AMD have a history of releasing benchmark busting, heavily marketed, sub standard products. Although Nvidia’s 4070 only offers comparable performance, it has a broader feature set (RT/DLSS 3.0) and offers far better game compatibility (drivers). PC gamers looking to join AMD’s “2%” GPU club (Steam stats: 5000/6000/7000 series combined mkt share) need to work on their critical thinking skills: Influencers (posing as reviewers) are paid handsomely to scam users into buying inferior products. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, excessive noise and a limited feature set.
The whole website is a mess run by monkeys.
@CrispyChrispy: Whats worse is when you google for gfx card comparisons or CPU comparisons. Userbenchmark comes on top of any other results.
The purpose of the comparison between 2 products from the same vendor (NVIDIA) is just to show that GTX 860M is vastly inferior than the minimum requirement of the said game. We can use the same comparison from PassMark site which would give you the same conclusion — 860M is too under-powered to run Palworld.
Why don't you have a GTX 4070 or whatever? You're Scotty, you should have like a beast of a gaming PC.
Thanks for your ideas, but what I was really asking is what do pixel and vertex shaders do, and will having a 5.0 stat be okay if the required is 5.1?

As mentioned in article 5.1 is an incremental updade to 5.0, but only the developers would know whether they use any 5.1 specific features in their code.
Ok, thanks! I think I'll just buy it and try it out and return it if it is unsatisfactory.
2 hour refund. use it?
