Quote from: RobertJasiek on February 11, 2023, 15:28:07NikoB, please explain "dangerous for hardware"!As an analysis of the failure statistics on the forums showed, for those who use "gaming" laptops constantly in games (for hours every day) and without any optimizations, as is from the manufacturer, iron dumps most often begin after 1.5 years, at best after 2.5 of the year. This means. that you will simply lose iron outside the warranty period with a high probability. On a desktop, this is impossible, if only because motherboards and video cards have a warranty period of at least 3 years, and not 1-2 years (more often 1 for gaming hardware), as in laptops. Therefore, playing on laptops is a priori stupid for all of the above reasons. Noisy, hot (dangerous for iron), slow and expensive. It is a priori impossible to play multiplayer on the couch - there is no such comfort of using the keyboard as on the table and in the chair - but if on the table - why do you need a laptop? Buy a lightweight surfboard and put an eGPU on the table via TB4/USB40 eventually, or just have both a gaming desktop and a lightweight (hardware) 15.6-17" laptop for surfing on sofas and beds. It's obvious that 2 devices are more convenient, but for serious games, a desktop is always better, cheaper (at the same speed), quieter and safer for hardware, because it has a much better cooling system.

Apparently, the test needs to be done twice in quick succession due to the manner in which the render kernels are built. But this is only with RTX 40 cards, though for some strange reason.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU 8256.73 4
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU 5992.52 1
For comparison the top desktop 3000 series card:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti 6163.43
Currently the database do not have any 4000 Laptop card in database, those results were erased at least for the moment.

I mention in the same comment that memory and power differences account for performance differences between the same GPU on the desktop and laptop. I was only referring to the actual GPU die and not the performance equivalence.
No. As the first tests showed, even in MSI Titan - mobile 4090 loses to the desktop version exactly 1.5 times. Therefore, the mobile 4090 is equal to the desktop 4070 and slightly faster than the desktop 3080Ti.

Do you know why? I thought there would also be some Aliens and Legions. So far only Titan and Razer 16 plus a few reviewers each got one other different notebook. But some got several presamples, too, which are hardly reviewed yet. I expected hundreds of reviews on Feburary 7 but only a dozen appeared. Do some manufacturers only send tiny numbers of review samples to carefully selected reviewers, which would not reveal the real weaknesses? It was completely different for desktop graphics cards: countless "reviews".
