Thanks atom. I do have some questions if you don't mind, but it's open to everyone.
1. Has anyone gone from a high-end gaming PC with a big resolution to one of these laptops. Was it a huge adjustment even some regret?
2. Can the best aorus laptop play any optimised game at max setting with smooth gameplay.
3. If I want max settings and smooth gameplay for aslong as possible should I look at the non 4k screen laptops?
#1 Yes i came from a high end desktop ( dual 1080tis on a 6700k ) with a ultrawide resolution ( 3440x1440 @ 100hz ) and i went to a x5v6 with 120hz 1080p screen and a gtx 1070.
Thoughts : Knowing what i know now would i have made the same purchase? Yes,
BUT i think i would have held out on saving for a little longer instead of selling the system. And i definitely would not have gotten rid of the monitor. i Do miss the ultra wide aspect ratio. However the screen on my aorus is lovely especially for gaming, having 120hz and gsync is just a life worth living. Was it a huge adjustment? eerm no i wouldn't say it was other than screen size had me off guard for a little while.
#2 Yes absolutely im pretty sure the highest end ones have a gtx 1080 in them? mine only has a gtx 1070 and it absolutely stomps everything i throw at it. If you would like to see any benchmarks let me know
here is my steam library with quite a large selection of games so if you want to see any of them benched i will happily do so with videos included.
#3 I would say either look at 1080p or 1440p if they have an offering in that size. I am not personally a fan of super high resolution on laptops as it does a few things. Drains the battery life some what faster. Due to the screen size makes scaling pretty much a necessity and windows scaling is a bit poo. And you also tend to lose out on must have features like gsync and high refresh rates.
Any questions give me a shout i will gladly answer anything as honestly as i can.
EDIT : Also in regards to any benchmarks i could also benchmark them at 4k with DSR as all evidence indicates DSR is a 1:1 performance match to any native resolution +/- 2 FPS. So would be a pretty accurate indication as to 4k performance.
