Vsync has never bothered me unless I'm playing online.
I'm still using a basic bitch Acer 1080p 60hz monitor from 2009 right now. :cool:

The 1440p Acer monitor monitor just launched at Newegg and MC, but that's about as low as a price you'll get in the US for those specs and a brand name. For whatever that's worth.
 
Have any of y'all tried out the FSR3 mod?

Yeah, I don't know where PEB gets this clickbait. The flagship of the Core Ultra series is going to be a competitor to the Ryzen Z1 Extreme and Ryzen 7 7840U in the latest Steam Deck competitors. The Core 7 155H is the processor in the MSI Claw A1M that generated all the buzz at CES (I don't really understand why, it's just another in a sea of knock-offs).

Intel hasn't told anyone what the TMU or ROP count is, but considering they're built on the same architecture as the Arc cards, I think it will be 64 and 32, respectively. That means on the whole the performance will be more like a GTX 1660, not quite that good, but with much, much slower memory bandwidth because it will use shared LPDDR5 system RAM, not dedicated GDDR5 video RAM.

Here the thing I saw PCmag test the new CoreUltra laptop "Acer" run standard tests such as cinabench an handbrake both running really well an they where running earlier drivers.

They now have chiplets allowing flexibility with design optimization. You can even produce using different processes such as 5nm to 7nm or smaller. There is no reason why they could not make a 3 or 5 nanometer let's say modded 540 or something an place it on the same chiplet SOC. I am pretty sure this SOC will perform considerably better overtime. The future looks really good too for it.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Laptops (whether made by Acer or anyone else) have always used the latest APUs from Intel. The chips used are never customized variants. The laptop manufacturers always just pick an APU from the catalog for any particular product that suits its intended price & performance range. Yes, I've seen NVIDIA and the other chipmakers are trying to offer more flexibility to clients for pairing more powerful graphics in all-in-one chips by allowing them to order variants with more total streaming multiprocessor units embedded on the die, they're even doing this with server center hardware, but I have yet to see any customized chips like this for consumer gaming laptops.

With the "Core Ultra" series, right now, we're talking about Meteor Lake. This is 7nm. So far they aren't mixing and matching fabrications. The single most powerful Meteor Lake chip is the Core Ultra 9 185H. It's nowhere close to the 3060 Ti. Intel's most powerful discrete GPU, the Arc 770, is a fair match against the 3060 Ti.

What review are you referencing? This one? That's the Core 7 155H I mentioned. Not on the same planet as the 3060 Ti.
 
Nvidia finally released a discrete 30 series card. Better late than never I guess.
 
Should I buy an rtx 4080 or rtx 4080 super? The super seems to be cheaper

Good luck finding a Super at or around MSRP.
The cheapest one in stock on PCPP is $1300. There isn't a single one in stock at either Microcenter here.
Cheapest one on Ebay (new or used) is $1200.

Why not a 7900 XTX instead?

I just posted a picture of it. Its the first thing that comes up when you search for rtx 4080 super
 
Okay it's showing now. That's strange, I wonder why it's not on PCPP. Unless it's currently not in stock.
Regardless, you can still get a 7900 XTX for almost $200 less.
 
I'm sticking with Nvidia because of my setup of switching monitors which radeon doesn't do as well
 
If my laptop doesn't get me to 2028 I'm going to be pissed,
 
I regret going down the mobo rabbit hole for everything from a 13400F to a 7800X3D.
