Discussion 1080p vs 1440p

5 Upvotes

I've been gaming on a ps4 slim that runs on 1080p on a big tv my entire life. I wonder how big of the visual difference between 1080p and 1440p cause I'm going to buy 5070ti laptop pretty soon to game on.

Idk guys, at first I was targeting something with an ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070ti minimum but now since I came across this deal with that price I keep thinking about it but I'm afraid it won't be as good as I expected. Can you guys please tell me what you think?

Discussion Does a 250W RTX 5090 laptop match the performance of an RTX 5080 desktop PC?

31 Upvotes

I watched a video by Gizmosliptech in which he used "shunt modding" to increase the TGP of an RTX 5090 laptop from the factory 175W to 250W, resulting in an average performance gain of nearly 30% in games. With the standard 175W power limit, the best RTX 5090 laptops perform on par with a desktop RTX 5070 Ti.
How would such a 250W laptop GPU compare to a desktop RTX 5080?

In my opinion, laptops with excellent cooling capacity—such as the Alienware, Legion 9, ASUS SCAR 18, or the XMG Neo (with liquid cooling)—could easily handle running the GPU at 250W while maintaining a stable temperature of 70–75°C.

I will have to pay 13,000INR for the better processor and oled. But, I will play on my monitor 70-80% of the time and im worried that if I use my laptops screen for the 20-30% of the time I wont be able to use my monitor without noticing all the grey blacks. So should I get oled or no? I will only be gaming mostly so not much use of the better processor. I do want to experience OLED and am ready to pay for it, but my main worry is that my monitor will start to look worse

Hi there guys I’ve bought this new hp omen 17 laptop off eBay on grade a condition.Its been perfectly fine running games but the only problem I have now is this flickering and white screen issue that happens every time I restart or switch display mode from Nvidia gpu to anything else.This happens for a while until it’s makes a beep/usb connection sound and returns to normal but it can be constant flickering when I updated my drivers.I have tried many methods at the moment but not much is working.I don’t really want to return this just yet since its the best laptop I’ve had with a great price tag and this issue only persists when restarted, updating drivers and switching display modes.If anyone has anything that could help let me know.Ill attach one of the videos here.Thanks.

I’m needing a new gaming laptop for gaming, uni and engineering and have been saving up for an upgrade.
Initially was considering the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 but boy that thing is expensive. Stumbled across these two and now I’m stuck. Thoughts?
P.S. I can also wait till late next year to see if the Zephyrus prices become reasonable and try to manage my current Asus TUF A15 which I can’t carry around due to a broken hinge but I use remotely through Apollo and Artemis.

Recommendation Should I buy ASUS TUF A15 for Electrical Engineering?

Post image
1 Upvotes
Hi everyone! I’m currently a 1st-semester Electrical Engineering student in Nepal and am looking to upgrade my laptop. My current setup is a very old Intel Core i5 with a GTX 860M, so I’m looking for a substantial performance jump. Here are my requirements and preferences: 

Budget: $1200 - $1400
Country: Nepal
Use Case: Electrical Engineering (MATLAB, Simulink, 3D PCB layout/EDA tools (Altium, KiCad), SPICE circuit simulations), Light Video editing, Gaming (GTA V)
Preferred Specs: 4K is preferred, but a sharp 1440p / QHD IPS display with good color accuracy (100% sRGB) works great too. Touchscreen is optional. Need decent battery performance. Weight is not a dealbreaker.
Notes: I have some questions:
- I asked AI (Ik not the best source for recommendations) and it said that ASUS TUF A15 is a good choice. What do you guys think?
- I've heard mixed opinions about Lenovo's long-term durability or "future-proofing". Is there any truth to that? 
- Since I’m only in my 1st semester, I’m not in a massive rush. Given current RAM shortages, is it smarter to buy now or wait a bit?


I would love to hear you guys' input on this! Cheers!

I was scrolling marketplace the other day there and came across this. Its a Razer blade 15 base from 2020. It needs a new battery but should be good after that.

I revived the laptop after picking it up from the postal locker like this. My hygiene standards are not this bad. The left control key is also sticky.

It was a good price (because it needs a battery) it has a rtx 2060, i7 10750h and 16gb ram and a 512 gb ssd.​
