Yea true after watching Jarrod's video.... Like i said in another thread they're making DLSS3/Frame Generation as the selling points for the mid range GPUs.

Yeah it depends on the type of games you run, For open world games like Hogwart's Legacy it going to use more CPU power as you can see in the video and it boosts at normal clocks. The crippling is already bad enough but if OEM's are going to put in powerful CPUs like these they need make their laptops thicker and bigger to handle the heat. 18inch laptops are already desktop replacements and you're not going carry it around to work or school. What a bad solution from Dell, All that does is to prevent the CPU from boosting and make it throttle which is going to lower temps and performance!.

Its still boosting over 4GHZs and it even reached to 5GHZ when he was testing Hogwart's Legacy. Also yes the 40 series uses dymanic boost same as the 30 series GPUs, that hasnt changed one bit. The crippling is already bad enough but at the same time the system is still averaging over 90Cs in CPU temps which isnt good for longevity and the Razor blades uses a vapor chamber cooling and liquid metal and it still averaging over 90Cs. After watching most of his videos it seems like only laptops with the I9-13980HX allows it to boost over 5GHz and remains there and using over 100W. Same goes with the Ryzen 9 7945HX as well Dell/Alienware are still pretty bad especially this year, they cheaped out on the display, locked out undervolting (but might add it again in a BIOS update after more customers complain about the temps), Inverted Motherboard again making it very difficult to repaste and the list goes on...

It looks like it only affects the Razer Blade 16 and not the 18 as proven here with the same exact specs. He also tested the Blade 16 too and yeah its pretty crippled

Yeah the mid range 40 series are pretty disappointing since they've been castrated. a RTX 4060 is near the performance of a RTX 3070Ti and RTX 3070. You can still get them cheaper than most 40 series laptops atm. Glad the Slim kept the same design of last year's model and the IQO has GSYNC and a 1080P webcam which is great for a budget gaming laptop, the small 60WH battery is a turn off, should of went with at least 80Wh battery.

Lenovo announced the new Legion Slims and their newest gaming laptop brand called LOQ which replaces the Ideapad and probably the Legion 5 series. https://news.lenovo.com/pressroom/press-releases/legion-slim-series-laptops-power-agility-gamers-creators/

True and they're failing at that too lol. I expect nothing less from the worst administration in my lifetime!

Yeah it is wasteful but they choose their path by sticking with BGA!.

Jarrod redid his tests with the RTX 4070 Still a disappointment though when 3070ti laptops are having much better deals and they're not castrated like the RTX 4070/RTX4060 are.

What is up with the castration with the 40 series especially with the mid range GPUs. The laptop versions are bad enough but this is just an insult. There are really pushing for DLSS 3/Frame Generation hard as selling points even though a lot of games dont support them as of yet.....

Nice!. Probably one of the few mods that i will use. Its been a while since i last played and i finally have some free time

Apparently Ryzen 9 7945HX allows undervolting which is very good news. Timestamps are in the video. Cliff notes, In CPU related tasks especially content creation AMD takes the win but not by much but in gaming it looks pretty even between the two.

Its a possibly and i hope so, It would make things interesting. Having the best performance while having lower power consumption is a major win for AMD if they can solve their vendor problem. Speaking of that.

Bears are good for the environment and part of the ecosystem. The most common bears we have in the US are the black bears and normally they're found near forest areas and sometimes you would see them near residential homes when they get hungry especially after hibernation. They're less aggressive than other bears and normally stays away from people so attacks from them are very rare but still dangerous since they can run at 30MPH (48.2KPH) and can easily climb trees.

Just hope they dont get theirs stuck like Howard did in that episode 😆

That is very impressive from AMD, Not only they win in the performance battle this year but AMD CPUs have great battery life as well. But im going to say Intel will still have the advantage because AMD still has a vendor problem so there wont be many laptops that uses AMD CPUs unless something changes later in this year.

Yeah you're screwed either way. But at least with the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 you get a good bang for your buck especially when the prices start to drop later in the year. Mind well post this video for relevance

I played GTAIV on my laptop a year ago and it runs well maxed out but it still stutters at times because its still badly optimized. You also need add commandline.txt in the game folder to avoid the 512MB graphic memory limit with modern GPUs.

The woke called themselves woke because its the name of their cult, stop thinking everyone who uses the term is right wing... Anyways they're authoritarians and nutty as folks in the far right, scratch that they're worse since they've been in power especially in the last 2 years and a half years. Common sense no longer exists in their woke world, 2+2=5 instead of 4, Men can be women and women can be men and other crazy sh*t. I'll leave it at that. I think we can control ourselves with the insults and not to get too personal with our politics and its fun to have a laugh about it at times like now. At the same time we dont want this place turn into another twitter nor reddit forum with back and forth arguing and toxicity so i understand why NBR had a ban on politics before because each of those threads never ended well. A decent balance between the two would be fair and if a topic gets out of control mods can take action as they see fit.

You shouldnt take info from random clickbait youtubers seriously. If the game was coming out soon they would release mulitiple trailers about it by now like past GTA games. The fact they havent release any trailers nor release any reliable information about the game as of yet besides the leaks shows that the game isnt coming out anytime soon probably 2024 or 2025 at the latest. Who knows at this point. They're so tight lipped about the game which is strange for Rockstar, you would expect a few trailers about the game at this point. We're almost to the 10th anniversary of GTA V. Personally im not hyped about GTA VI at all, No Lazlow nor Dan Houser, major people of the GTA series and the rumored lack of satire in GTAVI from news sites before. The game is still going to sell well because its GTA. I doubt many people who still plays GTA Online are going to switch over quickly especially people who uses FiveM (GTA V MP mod)

I am a Wizard!. Talk about castration at the highest level... Also worse performance on QHD+ than the RTX 3070ti because of it being only on a 128bit bus.. Like i said before they're making DLSS 3 and frame generation as the main selling points for the mid range gaming laptops and sadly people are going to fall for it.

Its still a steal for a laptop that is normally over $4000 for its specs and i agree with you. If i was gonna spend that much money for a PC it would be a desktop by far and it'll be a much better investment. 4K gaming is pointless on a laptop anyways as there not much to gain from it due to the small screen size. NVIDIA hasnt learned anything from the 30 series and its worse with the 40 series and more confusing than ever because each of the 40 series mobile GPUs has a bigger wattage gap than the 30 Series. Consumers purchase a RTX 4090 laptop but it turns out to be a lower wattage version that is weaker than a Max-P RTX 4080 mobile... Either calling them Mobile or laptop GPU would help somewhat so noone will compare them with the Desktop versions. Im not surprised look at the spec sheet above. Lesser CUDA cores than their predecessors and on a 128-bit bus.. DLSS 3 and frame generation will be the selling points.

Yeah we're living the real life version of The Onion starring our government. 😁 Remember to trust the science 😎

That's a steal there instead of spending over $4000 for the big brands for the same specs. But It doesnt mention the wattage of the RTX4090 though even on their website which is a turn off: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Tracer-VII-Edge-I17E-LC-500 Currently its sold out The biggest sellers will be the mid range gaming laptops (RTX 4070, RTX 4060, and RTX 4050) which are releasing sometime this week and things will get interesting.
