    I wish GPU and CPU manufacturers went back to the efficiency battle instead of releasing 450W chunks of heat, combined with the increasing electricity prices, things are getting unreasonable.

    Gaming laptops have gotten crazy in recent years, I see ones like the Legion 7 run the most demanding games like Cyberpunk just fine on max settings over 60fps. The only downside is thermal throttling, they seem to be purpose built to run at 90-95c but according to the manufacturer this is perfectly fine as long as it doesn't reach the tj max.

      Thermal throttling is often caused by low quality thermal paste. Really weird how maufacturers are trying to save money here, considering how expensive the components are. I managed to get my laptop down from >90° C (and throttling) to around 75° C (no throttling at all through hours of gaming) simply by repasting cpu & gpu with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I feel like the high temps are intentional. I have a 2021 blade 14 that used to thermal throttle at 101C constantly in every game. I complained to razer, and sent it in to get the thermal paste re applied now it averages 80C while gaming and sometimes breaks 85C in very demanding situations. Comparing my temps to reviewer temps, mine runs about 10 degrees or more cooler.

      There are a few videos out there that compare eGPUs to desktop performance.
      Basically you give up quite a bit of gaming performance due to low bandwidth.
      The xG mobile eGPU from Asus is a bit more powerful than typical thunderbolt eGPUs because it adds extra bandwidth, but since that's still less than a desktop and only available with mobile GPUs, you still get less performance at a higher price.
      For the price of one xG mobile RTX 3080 eGPU, you can pretty much build a whole desktop PC with a RTX 3060 or even 3070.

    The thing is that performance vs power usage is extremely non-linear. You need like double the power for that last 10-20 % performance increase. Just dropping that last increase and you can brand the same chip as a notebook GPU. Also, many lower end 'oversised' desktop cards are like oversised because it's hard, and thus expensive, to design everything in a tiny package.

    There was me just three ago had a issue with power but I did not know that. We check everything. But then I thought why does it goes off when I am gaming for some time; maybe there was an issue with the temperature; although it was the temperature but in the end we found out that GPU was drawing too much power than it should because it was heating everything too much, the maximum power it was sucking was 300-400 watt So we just had to get a new computer overall- as it was already almost five years ago. There was no warranty. And I only had 700W

      Modern batteries don't suffer much from continuous plugged usage as was the case in the past. Usually the laptop will change to a more energy efficient, but lower power output mode when you unplug it from the wall, so performance will take a hit. BTW I have that same laptop, and yes, plugged is the way to go for gaming and performance demanding tasks. Press the Nitrosense button to keep an eye on your energy mode and component temperature.

    I have serveral laptops and I've used some powerful desktops and what i noticed in regards to laptops is they come out the box set to produce the most power to get the most out of the cpu and gpu but this causes more heat that can lead to pre mature failure what ive done to fix this issue is changing the power registry and disabling boost processor power mode when plugged in and turned processor power minimum when plugged in to 100% and maximum both to 100% not only do i run badly optimized games that would reach close to 92c at 60c now but even emulators that would start up sounding like a jet was taking off run at around 45c max when they were😮 running at 90c and this was tested with a low end laptop that got bad reviews ive seen no performance loss and ive been happy with my laptop running cool and being able to llay games without checking the temps every 5 min.

      if you don't need the main argument for a laptop, portability, don't get a laptop. If you do, mid and high end laptop are usually 110% fine for gaming performances now, but you will get most performance for your money with a desktop.
      Laptop are also great if you can't afford (and don't already have) all the matching peripherals (a high refresh rate screen, a keyboard, wifi...), as most gamin laptops offer really great high refresh rate screen already.
      So if you don't absolutely need one don't get one, but if you do, it's more than fine anyways.

    • @TAP7a
      @TAP7a 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Desktop. With that budget you could probably get either a 12700 or 5800X tier CPU from either vendor, but the important part will be the graphics. If you're only running solidworks seriously, then you'll want to go for either a Quadro card from Nvidia (probably the A2000) or a Radeon Pro from AMD (probably a WX 7100 or thereabouts). The Nvidia one is more likely to have received special attention from both Nvidia and Solid Solutions to absolutely guarantee its performance in Solidworks. Past that, focus on getting as much DDR4 as you can get your hands on. It won't need to be blazing fast, you just a large quantity of it, like 32GB+. With this system, prioritise the GPU from a professional line first, the memory quantity second, and then everything else only needs to be like mid tier at best latest gen and compatible

    • @brocktechnology
      @brocktechnology 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't really want to disagree with TAP7a because they sound like they know what there talking about but I believe any current enterprise segment GPU is going over your budget by it's self and I think in your first year your not going to learn how to stress an entry level gaming GPU in the $500 range. I'm assuming your new to solidworks or you wouldn't be asking.

      @trajectoryunown 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      When you get a new drive they often are unformatted, meaning it's entirely blank. A blank drive will have all of the data available but it might not even be recognized by your operating system. This is why you'll see a bunch of reviews on flash drives and whatnot that say they flat out don't work. When a drive has a file system written to it, the thing that tells your computer how data is intended to be organized on and read from the drive, that takes up a certain amount of storage space.
      So there's that, but the big thing is the discrepancy between definitions of the units that define storage capacity. Growing up I learned a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, etc. However, somewhere along the line, and maybe I was misinformed initially, this became known as a kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte, and the metric prefixes have reverted to their true metric definition of multiples of 1000. However, here's the issue. Computers operate in powers of 2 because they are binary and not metric. They therefore don't even register the concept of a Gigabyte. This difference isn't immediately noticeable to most people until you start dealing with larger capacity drives where the difference after conversion is compounded to a rather abhorrent degree.
      Here's an example:
      1000 Gigabytes is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. So you buy a 1TB drive, plug it in, and you see 931.323GB.
      How can this be? Well, your computer doesn't see Gigabytes(1000MB). It doesn't understand that. It sees Gibibytes(1024MB). A conversion of units has taken place. 1000 Gigabytes is equal to 931.323 Gibibytes. Problem solved.
      I'd personally argue this is tantamount to false advertisement. It's deceptive advertisement at absolute best that utilizes a number system most people are familiar with instead if what's actually utilized by their computers. I would assume manufacturers save money on production costs as well. After all, they've effectively duped us out of nearly 7% of the storage capacity that we understood we were getting.
      We as consumers should really demand that drive capacity be listed with the appropriate unit of measurement.
      (This is my current understanding if this subject. Please, someone who is actually knowledgeable about this stuff, let me know if I'm too far off. I don't want to spread misinformation.)
