I play SO7 on an Asus ROG Strix G531 , intel core i5 - 9300H processor, quad core, 2.40 GHz , 8GB ram, 512GB storage, microsoft windows 10. With GeForce GTX 1650 graphics. I have nothing but problems on any setting bar low.

Regular crashes on high settings. Even on low settings the game crashes at the larger racecourses - notably Aintree. I have learnt to save after every race/event and now mostly play with all race features turned off, because the aggravation gets highly annoying. Cuzer is right about the max settings not really being needed - I don't miss almost daily snow from Oct to April, the cardboard cut outs in the crowd, nor a big screen as I get to the finishing line. It is more important to me to keep crashes to a minimum. Just in case you use Steam, I have also never been able to launch the game without the sound disabled (again not a problem to me as I don't enjoy the commentary).

Other pc games with high power requirements run fine - just SO7 that doesn't. Can't advise about SO6 as I have never played it. Maybe the graphics card you have mentioned is different to mine.

Hope this helps. All I would say is that more recent laptaps/graphics do not necessarily enable you to play SO7 to its full potential.

I am not savvy enough to know how much different it is, but did notice immediately that it is faster than my version. I should point out that speed has not been the reason why I have problems with SO7 - my fps sits consistently at 60. But the game still crashes. I spent so many hours messing about with the graphic card settings but in the end just had to give up. I concluded that SO7 is not fully compatible with the better graphics options on the market.

I bought my kit earlier this year and I think you would be getting the very latest version. I am sure you will be delighted with the graphics it produces because they are excellent, even at low setting. But you may be left in the same situation as me, that is to say having to play with features off and constant saving in case it randomly crashes. I am left wondering just how many SO7 fans do play with settings at max all the time. And more importantly, what graphics they have to run the game crash free.
