Sorry for interrupting in this forum, even though my laptop is not an X170KM-G , but I’m sharing my experience upgrading the screen on my Clevo P870TM.
yes i upgrade my p870tm led to
NE173QHM-NY7 - 1440P , 165HZ, 400 nits , 6ms GTG with clevo rtx 3080 mxm it's work great
That’s when I realized that G-SYNC limits the FPS output of the GPU. So I started looking for a 2K display with a very good color gamut, (165hz) high refresh rate, and fast response time for AAA games. I found that the NY7 panel was the best option, even though it doesn’t support G-SYNC
I chose higher color gamut and nits over the G-SYNC feature. When I used to turn off G-SYNC with others led , I got higher frame rates, but with noticeable screen tearing—especially with a lower refresh rate.
However, with 2K resolution, a 165Hz display, and an RTX 3080, playing AAA games on high settings, if you reach around 100 FPS using 9th, 10th, or even 11th gen processors, the overall experience becomes very close to newer generations of GPUs and CPUs. This is based on my personal experience.
Don’t be fooled by FPS numbers — all those frame rate monitoring programs have reduced our enjoyment of gaming on laptops.
