I'm wondering why they even bothered with an external GPU, when an APU would have way more power than the best GPUs of the time even dreamed of.

The game mentioned is Diablo II: Resurrected. See system requirements[0].

Minimum: Nvidia GTX 660, AMD Radeon HD 7850

Recommended: Nvidia GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT

They aren't terribly steep, but they are not on the same level as the original game[1]!

> DirectX compatible video card, 8MB Glide or Direct 3D compatible video card for optional 3D acceleration

That's close to Skyrim remastered requirements and that works ok on an integrated Intel.

A lot of games list nvidia something or AMD something as "minimum" requirements, but I haven't had a dedicated video card in about 8 years and many games I want to play actually work just fine (I don't play many 3D shooters and the like obviously), and my laptop is five years old.

The new game "Diablo 2:Resurrected" has more modern requirements ( i believe an NVidia GTX 1060 card for example).
