The computer hardware market continues to change. If earlier standard PCs ruled the ball, today laptop sales are growing. As analysts said at the end of 2019 International data corporation (IDC), in the next two years stagnation is expected in the segment of gaming PCs (-0.2% by 2023), while in Western Europe and China they are gradually switching to gaming laptops, and the audience is interested in more compact and mobile solutions (+ 7.4% by 2023). In China alone, last year, 5 million gamers added gaming laptops to their product range.
The myth that the laptop is a weighty suitcase that is uncomfortable to carry is also a thing of the past. A whole range of different solutions is available to choose from, allowing you to choose a device that is not only powerful, but also truly mobile. Specifically, “gaming suitcases” have become elegant and compact.
However, we are still talking about laptops with a powerful discrete graphics card that should satisfy the needs of gamers. GPU Devices Nvidia provide high performance while maintaining energy efficiency.
Microarchitecture-based GPUs are now available on the market Turing. It’s about the 16th (GTX 16xx) and 20th (RTX) series. The latter option boasts support for advanced real-time ray tracing technology and acceleration of AI algorithms, which are used not only in games, but also in working applications. In addition, NVIDIA provides a driver package. Game readythanks to which you can start playing comfortably right on the day of release.
So how to choose a suitable laptop? Roughly speaking, video cards GeForce GTX 16xx Series provide optimal gameplay in Full HD resolution. A GeForce RTX have a higher margin of safety and a range of additional features: you can swipe at a higher resolution or achieve high quality special effects. Or even try to find a balance, which is possible thanks to the technology of intelligent smoothing DLSS, which was recently upgraded to version 2.0, which allowed to improve the quality of the picture and increase FPS for free up to two times.
It works as follows. The original image that DLSS processes has a lower resolution than the final version. The algorithm improves the quality of the image by copying each pixel four times, after which the universal neural network begins to work, completing the missing details from the previous frame.
With each new shot, the process repeats, which allows you to achieve high quality images while maintaining texture and subpixel details.
The final result allows you to achieve clarity 4K from a lower resolution. DLSS 2.0 already supports projects such as Control, Deliver us the moon, Wolfenstein: Youngblood and MechWarrior 5. In the case of laptops, activation DLSS 2.0 also helps to increase battery life by 20%.
The easiest way not to get lost in the variety of gaming laptops is to push off the performance of the GPU. Therefore, NVIDIA has prepared a table, thanks to which you can evaluate how well this or that game will work on a particular type of video card.
So which laptop to choose? It all depends on individual preferences and financial capabilities. Therefore, they must be repelled.
If you need a powerful game device, then you can recommend laptops from the series ASUS ROG SCAR II GL504GW, Acer Helios 300 and MSI GE63. However, prices will be appropriate – in the region of 100-200 thousand rubles. In exchange for this, you will get top-end configurations of iron based RTX 2080 or RTX 2070.
If you are interested optimal the ratio of performance and price, then it’s worth choosing laptops based on RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 Ti. They are able to run almost any game on medium or even high settings. The spread of prices will be from 80 to 140 thousand rubles. Suitable models are DELL G3 3590, Acer Predator Triton 500 and MSI GL75.
Do not forget about the so-called basic graphics card-based laptops GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Ti. They not only allow you to solve everyday problems, but also run a range of competitive games. Pay attention to HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk, ACER Nitro 5 and ASUS F571GT. The price range will be from 47 thousand to 95 thousand rubles.
A separate category of devices – thin performance laptops. This is also possible, although prices will bite – in the region of 140-260 thousand rubles. Fit ASUS ROG Zephyrus S, HP Omen 15 and MSI GS65. They are thin, but can boast of the presence of top-end video cards of the RTX 2080 or RTX 2070 level.
You need to understand that only the above models have unlimited choices – you can always find something more suitable by sacrificing some components or vice versa, finding an even more powerful assembly. At the same time, NVIDIA-based laptops are excellent workstations that can handle a huge amount of everyday tasks.
That is why the green company has developed a driver package STUDIOthat keep track of updates to major graphics, video, and photo apps.
