Desktop vs. Laptop GPUs Explained

me when portability

If I got a gaming laptop can I consistently upgrade the GPU ?

"It wont fit!!!!"


Thats what she said😏

but how to know for sure about the laptop you mean to buy?

As a laptop gamer, I love small power units :) the future is bright! But or course I respect the big boys on the desktop

Brother,
In what all tasks does 6gb 3050 GPU has better performance than 4gb 3050

As far as I'm aware, my laptop actually has a full rtx 2070 in it, not the laptop version. As nest as that is, I'll never see the benefit of it because I'm constantly limited by the system draws. The power brick it uses supplies 230 watts and even though I've undervolted the GPU &. CPU and replaced the thermal paste with liquid metal, the laptop draws too much power and throttles the system anyway. Still powerful enough to play whatever I want on, but at the cost of being a chonky laptop, with a chonky power brick, and it won't last long on its own if you try to run it on battery alone with the discrete gpu enabled.

I actually wondered if buying a larger power supply for the laptop would help, maybe a 300 watt one or more if they are out there, but they're pretty expensive and I'm not certain that the manufacturers don't limit the amount of Power the laptop will draw from the brick to the amount that came on its factory brick. If anyone knows that'd be cool

My laptop 3080ti has 16gb vram … how’s that less than the desktop variant?

i have a gtx 1650 mobile and it runs smooth never had a problem on gta v (pretty demanding game) it only goes up to 80 celcius and it mostly keeps at 60-75c ive got a ryzen 5 also and that also never had a problem 8 gigs of ram stuttering stopped recently ive not had a stuttering game in a while (yes even gta v)

Gaming laptops' efficiency are at peak on the RTX 20-Series. Given the limited space of standard laptops, adding more power to it doesn't really equate to higher performance neither efficiency anymore.

LMG: "You can't put a GPU inside a laptop"
My 2005 69 inch thick laptop:

I have Acer Nitro 5 with GTX1650 and i playing Euro truck simulator 2. Whenever i play without charging adopters it shows 30fps and when plug into charge its jump to 60 plus. I don't know i should play with charging or without charge its good for the battery if i play with charged?

still flat pins is at disadvantage of GPU cards and it often easy to get broke
and of course it's because Modern moderboard GPU sockets are not upgrading either
hoping for something like audio jack like socket or HDMI or something even better that looks pretty solid tsk

The ad is a major nuisance.

Informative video, but I didn't get what I wanted to know. Is the visual quality of games is the same between Laptops and Desktops?

Ex: Ultra RTX settings (Desktop 3070ti) = Ultra RTX settings (Laptop 3070ti) ?

Ah, some have full desktop chips but have 2 power bricks

I wish I could just shove a gpu in a my ryzen 3 laptop 😔😔

So.....what's gandalf got to do with this?

This guy is so damn handsome, holy sh*t lol. Made this video so much easier to watch.

Yesss

Yeah the power brick on my work Dell G15 Ryzen w/ the 3060 is a chonk. The weight and bulk of the whole setup reminds me of friends’ parents’ laptops in the late 90s

I have a Radeon Vega Graphics card in my laptop and I can run Candy Crush and Solitaire 480p at 24FPS.🦾

they cant do this for the 4090 tho

The trick is to look at the full specs. And how much power the GPU ends up with

I miss you too.

Turning off high shadows and other features that don;t really matter

Why I got the RTX 3060 laptop its literally side by side with the desktop with more cores.

Hey guys does gaming while connected to the wall socket too much kills or damage the Laptop battery ?

And as usual, tuning gets no mention and how amd never had it for mobile parts, and intel took it away.

Because otherwise earlier you could reduce temps by 10-15 degrees simply by clever undervolting to both CPU and GPU on laptops.

so, in summary, if you get a "gaming laptop" get the one with a 3070 instead of the 3080?

fun fact laptop GPU are way more cheaper , and I want to know can I use mobile GPU on desktop.

Still once a laptop component is damaged then its useless. You cant repair it

Anyone here who have dell G3 15 3500{rtx 2060 & i7-10750H} and managed to solve overheating problems?

He is a fluent speaker

As long as the thing plays what I need, I don't care if I'm on a laptop or desktop.

I think buying a gaming laptop is pointless if you don't go out much or don't plan to game outside of your house that much.

I have a laptop but no Max-Q Nvidia. So what do I have?

Wow

Mobile GPUs peaked with the 10 series. After that, GPU's became sooo power hungry and there was no way laptops could keep up. We basically have gone back to Maxwell in terms of difference between laptop vs. desktop. Sure, there ARE some thiccccc boi chassis that do get closer to desktops, but it's just miserable in regular sized laptops. Manufacturers have basically said "it plays games at max settings, be happy!".

My laptop 3080 is absolutely not as powerful as a desktop 3080, and I never expected it to be. However, it has 16GB of VRAM versus what I believe to be 10GB in its desktop counterpart. How on earth did that happen?

Apparently the margin for almost desktop performance is 40% slower and costs an extra kidney

Never had a gaming laptop until I picked up an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for $899. The amount of power this thing has in such a small package is insane. Plus it is my college, work, gaming and coding all-in-one.

Laptop gpu are a scam in price

The problem is they reduce the power used instead of increasing the performance further and matching the same power usage on desktop versions. It's not that we got desktop performance on laptops. We got laptop performance on desktops but it's disguised as the opposite thing.

Thank you for the video!

For the love of God don't get the solidworks maker edition. It's beyond janky and you will get even less support than the 1500$/Year users. Apply for the student flversion of their free entrepreneur edition.

One point to clarify, TDP isn't the amount of power a card consumes. And typically there is no power in the calculation of TDP.

To sum it up, the RTX 3080 mobile is 6% slower than a desktop 1080ti
