More of a hardware question really, but as it's about running Windows on a MBP this seemed to be the most appropriate board.
I'm considering buying a second-hand MacBook Pro, but don't have that much by way of a budget, so I was wondering which was the earliest model(s) that still had new enough graphics to smoothly play the latest Windows games (dual-booting through Boot Camp) on minimum graphical settings.
Just to clarify: Obviously, I don't want the machine for Windows gaming exclusively; if I did I'd just get a PC laptop, but I do want to do some gaming on occasion as well as mostly using macOS for general browsing & practical work.
