Cpt Cuckoo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Do you think the NVIDIA RTX 3060 is going to make much difference - vs - an NVIDIA GTX 1660 ti .....on an almost identical laptop... we are talking 1080 resolution here? Also, there is another option to get one with a RTX 2070S MQ ...but the laptop with the RTX 3060 is a better deal. I am using the laptop with the GTX 1660ti right now. It's OK, nothing special, I can get avg 60fps out of it...... but I saw this other laptop advertized with RTX 3060 in it and its a really good deal. I'm just wondering if it's overkill because I don't know what to expect as far as beautiful graphics out of a 1080 res 144hz laptop.

Mars Exulte Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 My wife's laptop has a 2060 and has played every game I installed on it at max settings at 1080p. For 1080, I would safely assume anything over a 2060 is overkill, except for DCS which of course will take whatever you can throw at it. I have no idea whatsoever where the 1660 fits in to the current hierarchy, tbh, and avoided it due to uncertainty.

A GTX 1660Ti is slightly under a 2060 and according to this Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB compare Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GPU (game-debate.com) but it says that neither much good at running Microsoft Flight Sim at "Ultra". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Own a MSI GL75 Leopard and added an additional 16GB RAM (32GB now) and also a 1 TB SSD in place of the mechanical drive. It runs MSFS on Ultra at 50-60+ fps My desktop (see signature) runs MSFS 40-50+ fps on ultra.

p3t3rmax Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I recently bought a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with a RTX 3060 Laptop GPU and Ryzen 5000 Series 7 CPU with 8 cores and 32gb RAM to replace an ageing i7 and old Nvidia 970M graphics card and am pleasantly surprised. Bought it on a refurbished type sale at a very good price with balance of warranty. Screen is 1080 and getting about 75-90ish FPS with settings on max. FS2020 is great on max settings as well. I think the better CPU makes a huge difference as well. There seem to be plenty of these types of laptops around and you can PC-ise it by hooking up a big screen and keyboard. Also has space for an additional SSD so added a 1tb to the existing 512gb. So far a great upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz1004 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 GTX 16xx series are junk because of small VRAM. Only 6GB. RTX 3060 has 12GB. Will make a world of difference especially for VR.

Don't know what nvidia is thinking with their VRAM allotments as of late.

medway Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I read the reason it's 12 is the die for the memory is locked to 6. So it needs to be either 6 or 12 so they went with 12 to get it above 6 (even if it doesn't use all of the 12). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
