(Pocket-lint) — Nvidia's GeForce RTX 30-series laptop GPUs have been a revolution when it comes to what you can expect from a slim and sleek laptop in the gaming department. Gone are the days of downloading games from the 1990s because they were all a laptop could run.
Now, with a GeForce RTX 30-series GPU in your laptop you'll be able to play the latest games wherever you are, at high resolutions and with the sort of graphical effects normally reserved for powerful desktop gaming computers. Find out what makes these GPUs so impressive below.
Nvidia's RTX is the world's most advanced platform for ray-tracing and a range of AI technologies, and it means that you can take advantage of the most accurate lighting ever in a range of games. It simulates how light behaves in the real world, and makes for lifelike shadows, stunning reflections in windows and water, and whole scenes look totally transformed thanks to more accurate light bouncing.
You don’t need an expensive, high-end desktop system to enjoy the benefits of ray tracing. Both the Acer Nitro 5 and Asus TUF 15 have an RTX 3050Ti inside, and both take advantage of the new ray tracing technology. This is a great indication of the sorts of steps forward that Nvidia's taken in laptop graphics.
It doesn’t end at ray tracing, RTX brings with it access to other Nvidia innovations, though, and one of those that's been getting plenty of attention recently is DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling. This system uses AI cores built into Nvidia's GPUs to give huge performance boosts for your games without compromising on visual fidelity.
You can get a couple of dozen extra frames per second in smoothness by turning on DLSS, which uses artificial intelligence to upscale the
