I don't have to play games on ultra 8k 4trillion fps. I could barely run Dark Souls 3 on lowest settings on my old laptop. So I'm happy if it runs well and looks okay
IMO 40 with some drops is your best bet. My experience is that the drops are mostly during exploration and not in combat. I don't think I've been killed because of drops.
Forcing 30 adds noticeable input lag.
Visually, it's technically not impressive once you get the performance where it should be, but I think the design looks really good. There are spots, especially in some of the castle/dungeon like areas, where you can look over a ledge and recognize all the stuff you just climbed and battled through that really give the whole thing a beautiful sense of scale.
You will love the deck then
