What's a gaming laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX video card?

A large advantage of RTX video cards is the ray tracing support. This technology provides better lighting effects. This way, lighting, shadows, and reflections look more realistic. Think of the light that shines through clouds or smokes, and of reflections in the water or a shiny sword. In short, ray tracing improves mainly the visual gaming experience. A large number of games supports ray tracing, like Minecraft, Fortnite, Hogwarts Legacy, and Portal.

If you play a game that supports DLSS, the RTX video card provides extra smooth and sharp images. With the NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, the video card renders frames at a lower resolution. If you play games in 4K resolution, the card renders frames in Full HD first. Afterwards, it converts them to 4K. This way, you can play with a sharp image at a high fps, because it's less demanding to render at a low resolution. Hogwarts Legacy, Dying Light 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 are some of the games that support this.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series is the successor to the RTX 2000 series. The 3000 video cards are a lot more powerful than their predecessors. This way, the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3070 are faster than the RTX 2080. With an RTX 30 series card, you get more power than with a video card of a lower price range. The RTX 3000 series is already followed up by the 4000 series, but we still sell laptops with 3000 cards.

At the start of 2023, NVIDIA released the first laptops with RTX 4000 series video cards. The difference in power is less big than the difference between the 3000 and 2000 series, but the 4000 cards are still a bit better. That's because RTX 4000 video cards use their power more efficiently. This improves the performance while you game. For example, you have a higher FPS and lighting effects look realistic with the improved ray tracing.
