Have you actually tried running the game and got unplayable performance? I have no problems whatsoever running it on 940mx. In fact, Assassin's Creed Odyssey holds close to 30 fps at the lowest preset on 768p and the remasters are of course far less demanding.

I'd have to download and check; I haven't done that with quite a few games as systemrequirementlabs.com has me as unable to run them. As for things I've tried myself, RiME was unplayable (started up, but ran at around 15-20 FPS before I stopped trying), and I had to pretty much nerf every visual effect in XCOM: The Bureau to get it to run smoothly.

Before anyone asks, RAM (16gb) and Processor (i7-8550U) are not a problem for most games. I always bottleneck on the video card.

Worked on a Core 2 Quad 3 GHz machine, 8GB RAM and a RX 570 and the game (Bioshock Remastered) runs at 100+ FPS :)

It of course depends on what you want to get. If you want to have 60fps at max settings with 1080p then that's of course crosses out a lot of games. I personally am usually okay with 30fps at low settings and 720p.

I think the first thing you can safely reduce is screen resolution. 1080p is meant for 24 inch monitors, so calculate pixel density (PPI, pixel per inch) for this case as a baseline and see then what resolution gives you the same PPI on your laptop. For 24" monitor with 1080p it's 91.8 PPI, 720p on 15" laptop screen already gives you the higher 97.9 PPI, for 17" laptop 768p gives 91.9 PPI. For this reason I have no issues dropping to 720p on my 15". Here's a calculator if you're curious.

Also, I see here on gog they say both remasters require GTX 670 minimum while the official minimum for the same Odyssey is GTX 660, as is for say Far Cry 5. I haven't tried Odyssey but I had about 30 fps with very similar Origins, about 40 fps with Far Cry 5, and I don't remember exactly but definitely not less than 50 fps with Bioshock Remastered that I got here. For this reason I'd suggest you rather check on youtube than with stated system reqs, like bioshock remastered 940mx.

Right. I'd be downsizing to 720px anyways, as this laptop monitor is just 14 inches. And graphics aren't all that important to me; I still think Gamecube games are good looking.

Anyhow, I'll try it when the game downloads -- Indonesian internet means it'll take a good 4 hours, at least. I am interested in the extra content, so if it works... I can probably put Grim Dawn on hold for a bit while I explore.

the fact they are remastered alone might be of interested to you.

If you believe the Steam reviews, the remastered versions are nothing but crashfests. Combined with the stance from GOG regarding included games, i.e. "we can't offer support for it because it's a 'bonus'", I think I'll wait until GOG releases the originals separately, or alternatively until they stop pretending that included items are not part of the product that's being purchased.

Maybe some mods can help.
I found some on https://www.nexusmods.com/bioshock/
But i dont know if they can fix the issues since i havent tried them myself

Is there any chance GOG will release the classic versions before the Bioshock sale is over?

Wow, what a nice surprise, i'm buying them for the classic versions as i don't have any interest for the remasters. I hope the Borderlands series are getting here next, but anyway, keep these "older" AAA games coming GOG -- there's a whole wishlist waiting to be fullfilled!

Is there any story difference? I thought the only change is a better widescreen support basically.

I don't know, i've only played the original Bioshock some years ago (when HB offered a DRM-Free version of it) and to be honest i didn't even know about the remasters until now.

I rechecked the Steam version later yesterday and I noticed that they did another update there as well ONE YEAR later. I rechecked and the mouse problem was gone as well as the wrong shown key for diarys (default now is "T" and that is the key that is shown in German). I only noticed two bugs and I wonder if you have experienced those as well:

1) Default setting when you FIRST start the game is gamepad=on so you have to turn it off using keyboard before the mouse pointer is even shown. This only happens when there's no config file present.

2) When you hack the first robot a tutorial screen is shown to tell you how hacking works. In German the "Umlaute" are shown in this screen as squares only. Of course this is a problem that is probably only present in the German text and not the English one.

Just to confirm. Bioshock works quite well in Wine+dxvk on Linux (the game is 32-bit, so you need 32-bit dxvk):
