Denoise plugin for average spec'd computer?

I am looking for a good Photoshop denoise plugin that will run on my laptop (Lenovo E16 Gen 2).  I am aware of Topaz and others but the system requirements are higher than what I have.  I have 16GB of RAM and an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU but my graphics card is not highly spec'd

 

I used Noiseware with CS6 ages ago and I was very happy with its features - it is really all I am after.  Has anyone any recommendation for such an addon? 

 

Thanks in advance.

@Christian_Birmele5103 Based on your experience with Noiseware and your laptop's specs, you have good options that don't need a powerful graphics card. The latest version of Imagenomic Noiseware is a great choice, as it's known for being efficient and working well on systems without top-tier GPUs. Other excellent alternatives include Neat Image and Nik Dfine. Both are reliable plugins that use traditional, algorithm-based noise reduction which is less demanding on your hardware, making them a perfect fit for your Lenovo E16 Gen 2.
