I dont see how this is only for the ignorant. honestly they can charge whatever they want They cannot charge that much if enough people do not buy. Do yourself a favor and check what resolution you really want to game in. If it is QHD you might be happy with an older laptop with a 3070Ti or better or a new one with the 4070. Personally I would probably not game on a laptop in 4K - not good enough for what you have to pay nor do I think that my eyes appreciate the added resolution on a laptop screen. So if you still want to game in 4K on a laptop then you are entering a world of (financial + performance) pain - you have been warned 😄 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is no reason for not dissipating more heat except for the manufacturer and Nvidia not wanting to go there. When MSI can do 250W with traditional heat pipes in a super slim chassis (GT77) they could certainly make that design a bit bigger and thicker with an 18" screen and go to 300W+ with the added thickness and real estate. Weight would probably be somewhere between 8 1/4 to 9 1/2 lbs but I bet that enough people of the male variety who just carry their laptop from one place to another would not mind, especially when they also get a socketed Intel CPU and stacked NVME SSDs like HP does it. You only need on average about 5mm more height for all of that to happen. OK I see. But one question. Why did you specify the "male variety" in people?

The studiobook one for example had a big mobo because of size for traces. Like how much is a bit bigger and thicker. Since with 16:10 coming along that is starting to change again. Another factor was the deisgn the x170/gt77/76 arent only wider, but their longer. Like 13 inches long. There's also antoher factor. WIth HX being a glorified desktop cpu in bga form. There would really need to be a very specific case where the board would go for a desktop cpu rather than an HX one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapphiraTriX298 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I don't think the prices are all that different as they are made out to be. In Ivy bridge days, a top end laptop was around $2700 That is around $3500 today In 2020 a Legion 7 top end was $3200 or so, that is around $3700 today. These numbers are based on inflation only, not the increased demand of the last couple years, which would invariably drive prices higher as we see. It is still expensive, certainly, but not far outside the historical norm. Nor do I expect that will ever change. Couple other things for S&G In 1996 console games cost around $50 each. That is almost $95 today. A low/midrange EVGA (rip) 1080ti cost around $1100, that is almost $1400 today. You can find 4080's above and below that price today. So for those that want a laptop because they need the mobility and power, and can afford the cost, in intrinsic value, they haven't changed though you are getting more features for the money and a large uptick in performance over previous laptop GPU. Also full power SFF are not as small as they used to be, so to take advantage of desktop performance demands also an even larger PC than previous generations. Not so important in a house but much more important to those who travel. Plus screen of appropriate quality and resolution to make gaming worth while. At this stage also, graphical demand is not increasing at the same rate as GPU performance (4k has yet to become the 1080p of yester year) So while GPU performance is expected to make a large jump next year also, 4k performance on this generation of top end laptop chips is pretty good, still exceeding top end desktop numbers from last year in at least a few applications. In terms of real world usability, I would not be surprised if today's 4090 laptops will be capable at high resolutions for a couple years if portability is what you need.

How is frame generation synonimous with 'great performance'? They're fake frames. I'd say that tech is nice when you have less than 60FPS, still wouldn't use it, and pretty pointless over 60FPS. A 15FPS to 35FPS increase in games isnt a small increase whatsoever especially on 1440p. Also the tests was done without DLSS/FG on as well.

Fromer is cuz gddr6x is too innefienct and hungry for power. latter is cuz of size. mobo has to be large for that bit bus. the studiobook one iirc is the only laptop i've seen with a 102 die but it comes with consequenses. Laptops do not have a standard at all. the only standard that there is are where components are placed. battery at the front, heatsink at the rear below the back side of the keyboard. and ram/storage in the middle. the x170 is kinda an exception. as the heatsink components extend from the middle to the top. The other thing is that a chip would have to be one where it peforms more efficiently under high power but struggles weakly under low power. The equivalent to that car wise is a rotary. Low rpm, it sucks, it needs high rpms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the days of the GTX 1080 and RTX 2080 they were also quite close in performance when compared to desktop solutions. Now they are still priced similarly but the GPU performance just isn't competitive any more. That is true, but the 1080 - 2080 (even the 980 to a degree) were exceptions to the rule. Where the increase in efficiency (but limited max TDP due to architecture) allowed the two to be much closer than they ever could have been prior. Generational leaps and bounds in architectural process = greater efficiency (today), meaning that we can gain some performance at efficient levels, but then dump loads of power (actually possibly only as a way to stay competitive with TSMC using Samsung 8nm with significant diminishing returns) to boost performance even higher, thus separating the mobile GPU and Desktop markets once again. Recall that the TDP of the 2080ti was 250w, while the 3080Ti grew to 350w. While still a nominal number, the typical real world 30%~ increase in generational performance came at the cost of raw energy more than the design improvements from Nvidia. This set the standard at the same time for previously 'outrageous' levels of wattage being tolerated in the desktop community that are not feasible in the laptop side. Or put another way, hamstring the desktop cards back to 250w, and the difference between desktop and mobile comes much closer again. I don't yet see a direct connection, but I suspect something about this may be why Nvidia is limiting the TDP of the Mobile cards, considering that manufacturers have traditionally tolerated 200w+ from the GPU's alone. I also don't see this changing until AMD is able to match the performance of nvidia at notably lower TDP, or put another way, when simply dumping more watts into a card no longer matters. This trend however, is likely limited. TSMC's year over year breakthroughs in die shrinking are probably not sustainable long term (at least not at the current manufacturing timelines/materials/PRICES). So the giant leaps/improvements we see now may be temporary to a few generations, I suspect. You can only shrink so small with current materials before quantum mechanics starts getting in the way. Or put another way, most of the performance we have been seeing, I believe, is due mainly to TSMC's manufacturing, and less to do with Nvidia's design improvements. Perhaps when AMD matches those improvements, it will no longer be a power/TDP game, but true design/driver gains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
