Everything on gaming laptops with an RTX 4000 series video card
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 series
In order to play games, a gaming laptop needs a dedicated video card. This performs all demanding graphic tasks. The RTX 4000 series video cards by NVIDIA are successors to the RTX 3000 series. They perform even better than their predecessors. Just like the RTX 3000 series, the 4000 series consists of various video cards: the RTX 4050, RTX 4060, RTX 4070, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090. The higher the number, the more powerful the video card.
Advantages of RTX 4000 video cards
Better performance and ray tracing
The RTX 4000 video cards are more powerful than their predecessors. Thanks to the higher turbo speed, your images load faster and you can play all your games smoothly. Thanks to the new SER (Shader Execution Reordering) technology, the RTX 4000 video cards process the extra processing power efficiently. That's because the video card chooses the best distribution based on the available capacity. As a result, the ray tracing also works better and lighting, reflections, and shadows look even more lifelike.
Sharper images and stable fps
Instead of DLSS 2.0, the RTX 4000 series supports the new DLSS 3.0. With DLSS, the video card loads frames in a lower resolution first. The video card then converts them to a better resolution. This way, you can game with stable frames per second and sharp images without needing too much power from your laptop. This is a big advantage if you play games that demand a lot from the processor. DLSS 3.0 loads up to 30% more frames than DLSS 2.0. We've listed some games that support DLSS 3.0 above.
RTX 4050 and RTX 4060
The RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 video cards are the successors to the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 video cards. Thanks to the high processing power, you can play light and medium demanding games like Fortnite, Minecraft, and Call of Duty: Warzone at 60 fps at least. Want to smoothly play these games at high settings? Choose a laptop that has an i7 or Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB RAM as well.
RTX 4070, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090
RTX 4070 and RTX 4080: demanding games
The powerful RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 are successors to the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080. Thanks to the improved performance, you can play demanding games with more frames per second than with older video cards. Games like Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, and Dying Light 2. Keep in mind that your processor also needs to be suitable for these games. That's why we recommend at least an i7 or Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB RAM with these video cards.
RTX 4090: all games at ultra settings
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is a real powerhouse among video cards. The RTX 3000 series didn't have an RTX 3090 version for laptops, but the 4000 series does. You can even play the most demanding games at the highest settings. Even while you stream. If you want the best performance, choose a laptop that has an i9 or Ryzen 9 processor as well. This way, you can be sure that the processor is powerful enough for the video card.
