Laptop vs PC

[paulmaster64]

Hey all,

I have a stange question. Last week I got Lenovo Y540 with 1660ti and im planning play some mid range games (paladins, destiny2, nba) but I'm comparing the games graphics to my PC (with ryzen9 and 1080ti) and all games with the same settings (resolution and advanced settings) looks better on PC than Y540, why its like that?

what do you mean looks better? less washed out etc etc?

or the texture is different?

 

if it's color difference, it's caused by different panel, unless you're using the same monitor for both comparisons

yes, games on 1080ti is more detail and less washed, I know what color's on PC will be better, but im thinking about details, I need to make screenshots and view both images

1080 is a much better card

Laptop screen vs desktop monitor is what you mean right? Well of course if you have a cheap desktop monitor that is 1080p and large (24inches or bigger) things will look less sharp due to lower pixel density. Then comes colour accuracy. The y540 has a pretty good panel whilst your desktop monitor may not have a good panel.

Yeah I dunno, I was just throwing out ideas...

Because that's how this works. A desktop graphics card can easily draw 200W. Likewise, an average desktop CPU can draw 90-120W. If your laptop was drawing that kind of power, your battery would last like a minute. Even plugged in, that type of power draw adds intense thermals. That's easy enough to handle with a big spacious PC case, but crammed into a laptop chassis, the components would melt. Even if they didn't, your laptop would do double duty as a hot plate, so you'd burn yourself even touching it.

 

Long and short, mobile components are undervolted. A mobile CPU draws like 15-35W, and a mobile GPU is going to max out around 80W or so. That undervolting comes with underclocking, which reduced overall performance potential to stay within the reduced power and thermal limits. A mobile 1660ti is not the same as a desktop version.
