The handy table makes it easy for users to compare and contrast the power levels of all the different Aero and Aorus laptops currently available with GeForce RTX graphics.

The 15.6-inch budget gaming laptop doesn't have the greatest specs or hardware, but it's good enough for users satisfied with 1080p gaming at 30 to 60 FPS. We recommend upgrading the 8 GB of RAM as soon as possible.

The slimmer adapter is over 250 g lighter without impacting the overall performance of the laptop. Users can also now recharge the laptop via USB-C whereas that was not possible on the older G532 series.

NVIDIA's Lovelace RTX 40 GPU design has apparently been finalized according to a new leak. Lovelace is also likely to feature in the upcoming Nintendo "Super Switch" and could be a part of NVIDIA's Orin self-driving SoC systems. It looks like NVIDIA is planning to tackle competition from AMD RDNA 3 by ramping up production and reducing costs.

The Predator offers a Core i7-10750H processor, a GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU, 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), and space for three drives (2x NVMe SSD, 1x 2.5-inch). In addition, there's a responsive Full HD display (IPS, 240 Hz) and quite good battery life.

The Intel NUC 11 Extreme may have an 8-litre chassis, but it can house up to an Intel Core i9-11900KB processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU. The fastest NUC yet can finally be pre-ordered too, and in multiple configurations.

Hopper is most likely to be a compute-only architecture, as the upcoming RTX 4000 GPUs are expected to be based on Ada Lovelace. Nvidia is probably taping out Hopper this soon in order to have everything ready by mid-2022 when Intel's Xe-HPC and AMD's CDNA2 are supposed to hit the market. Hopper is Nvidia's first attempt at a multi-chip-module design and is rumored to be produced on the 5 nm nodes from TSMC.

Sometimes it pays to be patient with new technology. The latest XPS 17 9710 is the faster and more refined version of the last generation XPS 17 9700 with none of the battery draining irregularities.

At the ongoing GDC 2021 event, Nvidia showcased ray tracing and DLSS running on the ARM platform. The demos, which included Wolfenstein: Youngblood and The Bistro, were run on a MediaTek Kompanio 1200 platform paired with an RTX 3060. Nvidia said that it is porting several RTX SDKs to Linux and Chromium on ARM.

After testing over a dozen different laptops with the GeForce RTX 3060, users can expect up to a 19 percent performance decrease between the fastest and slowest models currently available. There's a catch, however, as real-world gaming performance on the 70 W GPU can be brought closer to average by opting for a newer CPU with higher or faster RAM.

With the TUF Gaming A15, Asus offers a powerful and comparatively inexpensive gaming laptop with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H. It offers decent gaming performance and a fast display.

In the Zephyrus S17, the hinges simultaneously push the keyboard unit upwards and lift it when the laptop is opened. This allows the case to open a gap in this area, which is supposed to draw in more fresh air. Is this useful and what are the drawbacks?

Since Nvidia allows for a wide variety of TGPs on all of its mobile GPUs, the RTX 3050 Ti does not really make any sense. OEMs can easily replace this model with a lower TGP RTX 3060 and still keep the 6 GB of VRAM. Slapping only 4 GB on the RTX 3050 Ti is not even the bare minimum for some current AAA games, let alone whatever games will be released in the coming years.

Many users on Lenovo's forums are reporting missing encoding codecs on their Legion laptops after a recent BIOS update. This issue appears to exclusively affect Legion units sold in Germany, potentially due to now-settled litigation with Nokia.

The under-the-hood changes should are expected to boost GPU performance by about 10 to 20 percent from last year's 10th gen Intel Blade Pro options. Prices start at $2399 USD for the RTX 3060 up to $3699 for the RTX 3080.

Razer has upgraded the Blade 15 Base with current-generation hardware such as the Intel Core i7-11800H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070. Key Razer Blade 15 Base Model specs include a 15.4-inch QHD screen clocked at 165Hz, 16GB of 3,200MT/s RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, and a 65Wh battery. Pre-orders are open on Razer's website, with prices starting at US$1,799/€1,899.

As promised, Rockstar has brought DLSS to Red Dead Redemption 2, NVIDIA's super-sampling technology. DLSS should deliver up to 45% better framerates, drastically reducing the system requirements for running the game smoothly in 4K.

Everyone saw the GPU dump coming, as the Ethereum Proof of Stake plan was set into motion two years ago, but Chinese cryptominers are forced to dump their GPUs earlier, since the local government is cracking down hard on any cryptomining activities. The RTX 3060 cards make for a particularly good deal now at around $270, but anyone interested in bulk deals for all Nvidia as well as AMD GPU models can easily find bargains on sites like Taobao, Bangood, Alibaba or AliExpress.

Rockstar has announced plans to bring NVIDIA's DLSS super-sampling to Red Dead Redemption 2. The feature will be available from next week through the game's next major update, which also contains Red Dead Online: Blood Money.

Now's the time to jump in on gaming laptop deals equipped with last year's 10th gen Intel CPUs. If you have no real use for PCIe 4 or Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, then models like the Gigabyte Aorus 15G YC can shave off hundreds of dollars without really impacting gaming performance.

Looks like Nvidia is not going to release any other RTX 3000 versions besides the Ti ones this year. Rumor has it that Team Green should release 7 nm RTX 3000 Super variants for laptops with more CUDA cores but same VRAM configurations in early 2022, while the desktop variants could arrive a few months after.

Some vague but interesting details about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series have appeared online, seemingly confirmed by a well-known tipster. The RTX 40 series of cards are expected to be based on the Lovelace AD102 GPU that will be fabricated on a 5 nm process. Users can look forward to huge performance gains even over the RTX 3090.

ASUS is planning to release a new ZenBook Pro 15 with an OLED display. The ZenBook Pro 15 will also feature AMD Ryzen 5000H series processors and a current NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPU. The machine, which has been spotted in China, Germany and Sweden, should start shipping in August or September.

16:10 screens offer more screenspace without significantly increasing the footprints of laptops.

The prices of AMD Radeon RX 6000 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series cards have been falling rapidly in the last few months. While both series remain above MSRP, GeForce RTX 30 cards are now two times cheaper in Germany than they were in May.

The 16:10 gaming laptop from Asus offers a larger screen size than the 15.6-inch MSI GS66 while being slightly smaller in overall volume. The new model should be a good middle-ground solution for users who want something larger than a Zephyrus M15 but smaller than the ROG Chimera.

In a conversation with WCCFTech, Midgar Studio’s Jeremy Zeler-Maury discussed the differences between FSR and DLSS in Edge of Eternity, one of only two games that currently implements both upscaling techniques.

The MSI Katana GF76 11UE gaming laptop is able to score points on paper with its GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU and Intel Core i7-11800H CPU. However, our review revealed a few weaknesses...

The deal will go live on July 2 at 11 AM EST. Users may want to expand the limited 256 GB drive with an internal or external solution for storing more games.

Acer has rolled out a firmware update to many of its GeForce RTX 30 series gaming laptops. The update increases the TGPs of NVIDIA's GPUs by between 5 W and 30 W, giving some machines a healthy performance boost.

The Ultra Quality preset is mentioned in the UE5 documentation, but it is unclear how it differs from the Quality preset or when exactly it is going to be activated for end-users. The latest UE5 build also features a new 2.2.9.0 DLSS version that apparently comes with worse image quality compared to version 2.2.6.0.

Asus has some work to do on its older Zephyrus G14 design if it hopes to overshadow the newer, slimmer, faster, and arguably better Razer Blade 14. Here are all the advantages and disadvantages of each system.

The TUF Gaming F17 that we reviewed inherits the 17.3-inch chassis of the TUF A17, but it houses an RTX 3060 instead of a GTX 1660 Ti. In addition, it's equipped with a Core i9 from the Tiger Lake series. The display deserves some criticism. Despite cool features like Adaptive Sync and 144 Hz, it otherwise scores average rates at best. Price is still a big question.

Gigabyte updates the Aorus 17G with the latest technology: A Tiger Lake processor, an Ampere GPU, PCI Express 4.0, and Thunderbolt 4. The laptop's highlight is still the compelling mechanical keyboard.

Alienware offers its new m15 either with AMD Ryzen or Intel Tiger Lake-H processors, but the AMD model offers a better price-performance ratio and the more efficient CPU.

Previous leaks were already suggesting that the RDNA3 GPUs should be more than twice as fast as the current RX 6800 XT models thanks to the multi-chip module approach, but fresh rumors now claim that the impressive raster and ray tracing performance of the RDNA3 is also enabled through a massive increase in Infinity Cache memory capacity.

Finding AMD or NVIDIA's latest desktop graphics cards at reasonable prices has been almost impossible since their launch. Not only has their scarcity pushed prices to insane levels, but it has also inflated the re-sale value of older cards. Thankfully, the prices of AMD Radeon RX 6000 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series cards are now starting to come down.
