My Problem is just that they aren't giving us spec for spec. I have a 1060m graphics in the current laptop and it has a 192bit bus, the 4070 laptop chip doesn't have that despite being 3 generations newer and a tier higher. Nvidia just scalping their customers something fierce. That's the...

If only laptops around the £3,000 mark came with 2tb storage as standard. It's a bit daft of these companies.

Not bad then, I'm after bigger screen so won't work for me anyway but glad you got it cheaper. I'm waiting on some reviews of the Helios 18 before I take the plunge but hoping it avoids the coil whine the asus one had.

How did you get it cheaper? I've got the same TV but think I will be going for the Acer helios 18 myself, I want the bigger screen and I can get that one at a good price too. Should be a decent laptop for general game use.

I agree, you can never truly future proof but the 30 series wasn't hitting the mark for me personally. I want amazing performance if I'm going to spend 3 or 4 grand and the 40 series I'm generally happy with but just feel like it's been deliberately held back by Nvidia themselves. Cheaping out...

It just grinds my gears that Nvidia nerf there cards so often. I was looking back at my current gpu (a basic gtx 1060m) and I figured 3 generations on and a tier higher would get me good performance but looking at the 4070 it's bascially got a smaller bus size than my old card with ram that...

There's only a few factors to consider here. First is it future proof for performance? Probably not, it's going to last a fair while but future proof would imply you want it to hit a good performance and the real question is what are the alternatives? Typically speaking you could get something...

Is that another typo? I'd not call a 4080 equivalent a mid range card. It's high end, it's not a 4090 but that is the very top. TBH it's up to the person what they decide is value for their use. I'd rather have the 7900 xtx because prices are already stupid so the normal 'just save £200 more'...

Try comparing it in several games, like the reviewers have. Came out far more favourable than selectively picking a single title obviously.

It sounds like you're clutching at straws a bit. My solution would be to pocket the savings and wait for the patches to fix those issues as a possible idea but it depends on your obsessive compulsiveness or lack of willingness to adjust your system to get the most use out of it. If you're a...

It's true though, I love playing old games with better graphics. It's what will convince me to finally try System Shock, one of my most anticipated games is the knights of the old republic remake, I am interested in Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid 1 (just a rumour so far) and the Witcher...

Exactly though, you're working off a greedy business mindset and not an industry mindset (health of industry) or consumer mind set. I couldn't come away with another conclusion based on your statements earlier that they can charge whatever they want and justifying ripping people off provided...

Ray tracing is fine, it's a visual benefit and you choose to flick it on or off. For me it's just when they have DLSS2 that DLSS3 seemed a flawed approach with the visual and latency issues it introduces which are abnormal considering there is already alternatives. I like to run any game at...

No one likes fake frames if they introduce lag / latency. That is the major problem, when you have things like regular FSR and DLSS2 putting up your FPS in a decent way without a major latency factor then that tech seems better than the supposed sequel with DLSS3. It's always relevant to how the...

I'd never buy chinese anyway, it's one thing to complain about prices going up and another to realise you've funded a dictatorship that wants to destroy you and oppress others. I'd be happy to leave the Nvidia stuff on the shelf to make them realise they shouldn't be treating their fans bad but...

If I was in the market for a graphics card (I am sort of, but getting a gaming laptop instead of discrete gpu for a standalone PC), then I'd be turned off by the 4080 entirely. As Gamers Nexus said, the performance for the price is so stagnant that it's relatively not even an improvement on the...

This was definitely my major problem with this gen. 4090 looks a great card but I don't need it. I'd have got 4080 or equivalent from AMD (waiting to compare) as it's naturally the card just below but the price and quality of it compared to previous gens is very poor. A lot less performance and...

You've got to root for the underdog nowadays, I'd be surprised how long PC gaming will maintain any growth with Nvidia at the helm and their love of price gouging. They had to recall the fake 4080 due to the misleading practices they wanted to employ being called out and they are happy to sell...

There's a reason EVGA left the scene entirely, Nvidia are just not respectable any more for their business practices. If there was only one bit of evidence it could be brushed off but EVGA left because of their arrogance, the 4080 misadvertising / mis-selling attempt with the shady naming, the...

What's wrong with that, too many thoughts at once? At a certain point common sense kicks in for most people because affordability does not automatically equate value and I can say the same, I can comfortably afford any gpu and have money to spare but I've never been an elitist or a money waster...
