A 1080 screen though?
I’d pay the extra $300 and go for the Acer Predator Helios 16”. It has 4070 with 1440 screen I think and the tan should be ddr5. My 15.6” 3070ti from 2022 was $1300 in June and the fan system is crazy good. Thing never gets close to hot if I adjust fan speed. Also build quality is way better than this Tuff thing.
If you have the money I’d recommend the Acer.
Better textures, view distance is farther, the environment may have more plant life and other foliage, water can look better, etc.
Also fps which is how many frames are created in a second. 30fps was standard for old consoles but PS5 made 60fps the new standard. It makes movement look smooth instead of jittery or like a slideshow.
Stuff like that.
My 3070ti can play 1440p resolution with 60fps max settings pretty easy. I know XX60 cards are a good bit weaker and XX50 cards are trash.
I would go with 4070 just to be future proof. But 4060 may work at 1080. Should be able to 1080/60 with high settings and 1080/30 max settings for sure. The rest depends on how intensive the game is.
So 4060 will run all the games you want now. 4070 will run all the games really well, the best they can on your resolution, and future games for a few years without issues.
It’s the minimum rtx. 4070 is just enough rtx, 4080 is a nice amount of rtx and 4090 is too way too much rtx.
Thank you for coming to my RTX talk.
Fan system and build quality were also major factors. Helios has aluminum lid and the body around the keyboard. Only the underside is plastic, but that is better for heat dissapation. The reason razor batteries always bloat is probably because they cook against the aluminum underside. So this doesn’t have that issue either.
But it’s up to you. If you just want performance in games then the tuf will be ok. But for long gaming sessions in the heat a good fan system will do wonders.
