QUOTE(ry8128 @ Mar 2 2020, 07:32 PM) Thanks man.. Was just reading about gaming performance, and fps of around 40-50 should be enough to enjoy a game properly right? Or need >60fps? I noticed most of the games especially AAA games wont be able to get >60 fps with gtx1650.. I prefer at least 72FPS if I have 144Hz monitor - less tearing. esports titles different of course. Just lower down some settings - you'll be surprised that some video settings don't affect quality much yet has noticeable impact on FPS

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Mar 2 2020, 02:02 PM) Both have their own pros and cons (looks, weight+dimensions, desktop CPU, onsite warranty etc) If the games you play are CPU heavy then I would suggest i7+1660Ti instead I would mostly use it for vr games with oculus rift and pc games such as strategy game. Not sure if strategy games such as tropico 6, anno or the sims use more cpu or not. Would 1660ti ok for vr or should i aim 2060?

So he doesn't need a good graphic card but he prefers a large hard disk and anything related to music production. Also, is quadro good? It seems like it's not a popular graphic card, can't really find related info. Thanks sensei This post has been edited by 76175: Mar 7 2020, 12:24 AM

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Mar 2 2020, 12:24 AM) R7-3750H is slightly slower than i5-9300H, not even compared with i7-9750H. Has some limitations like single core performance (it's still Zen+), less PCIe bandwidth etc. Wait for Ryzen 4000 mobile better AMD GPU still has a long way to go, not just driver side but also efficiency (they still haven't figure out how to optimize power in laptops) If you want 2060 laptop under RM4.5k, either go for Lenovo Legion Y540 15 customize (apply code LENXCIMB) or Commandos Glock 5 Alpha. However you probably won't be able to get 144Hz IPS which is a must IMO for such GPU However, depending on the games and video settings you play, you might lose some frames compared to i7+1660Ti I am thinking of Acer Predator Triton 300 with budget ard 4-4.5K. nt sure if can get i7-9750H, not really wanted i5-9300H. 300 nits. cooling system. I like Acer predator helios 300 but a bit expensive.Nt sure if Lenovo Y540 is better or ? With this budget ard 4K, which is most recommended gaming laptop?

Lenovo Y540 dont hv 120Hz low sRGB? Btw how important is this 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz?
Display-Lenovo Y540 15.6"FHD (1920x1080),IPS, 250nits, Anti-glare, 60Hz, Narrow SELECTED 15.6" FHD (1920x1080), IPS, 300nits, Anti-glare, 60Hz + RM168.00 15.6" FHD (1920x1080), LED Backlight, IPS, 300nits, Anti-glare, 144Hz + RM330.00
For Illegear below, the def one is 60Hz?
Note: ILLEGEAR's superior 144Hz IPS display with 5ms to 8ms response time makes it the ideal gaming screen for dynamic games with fluid, fast-moving visuals. A quantum leap forward from the old 120Hz TN display with 15ms+ response time.
15.6" FHD Anti-glare IPS / AHVA Display featuring INFINIVISION Bezel-less Technology 15.6″ FHD sRGB 100% iRIS Display featuring INFINIVISION Bezel-less Technology [Add RM199] 15.6" FHD Anti-glare 144Hz IPS sRGB 100% Display featuring INFINIVISION Bezel-less Technology [R̶M̶2̶9̶9̶] [Add RM249]
