Return to Monkey Island system requirements – no GPU needed?
Return to Monkey Island system requirements feel a bit retro, as you can play the point-and-click adventure using a twelve-year-old GPU. Naturally, that means you won’t need the best graphics card to experience Ron Gilbert’s swashbuckling romp, and there’s a chance you won’t even need a machine with dedicated graphics.

Turn any Thunderbolt-equipped laptop into a gaming powerhouse with this £93 GPU enclosure
Thunderbolt graphics card enclosures are one of the coolest bits of kit you can get, I think. Open up this metal box, put a graphics card inside, and suddenly any PC or laptop you connect to it via Thunderbolt gets a substantial upgrade in gaming prowess. These docks used to cost around £200 or £300, but recently we’ve started to see radically more affordable options – and today we’ve reached a new low-water mark.
The Lenovo Legion BoostStation can handle GPUs up to 300W (think an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti or AMD RX 6800 XT), and is available for just £93 when you use the code BANK15 to knock 15% off the price at Ebay.
Get an RTX 3060 GPU for £279 thanks to this Ebay code
Earlier today we looked at a deal on AMD’s top graphics card, the RX 6950 XT, and now it’s time to look at the opposite end of the market: one of Nvidia’s cheapest RTX graphics cards. Ebay is running a promotion today that knocks 15% off the price of brand-new items when you use the code BANK15 at the checkout, and you can use this to pick an RTX 3060 12GB for just £279.
This is a great price for this mid-range GPU, and it’s especially rare to see features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS image reconstruction at this price point.
