Does G-Sync negate some of the need for MORE GPU POWER !

Yes ofc anyone with G-sync experiences this, it's usually the reason you buy it.

So i just got the Amazing Predator x-34 :

And i am using the Titan X (Maxwell) and i have got to say that even at 100hz and 3440x1440 Res, Thanks to G-sync the dropping down to the 40-50 Zone doesn't feel bad at all and with AA turned abit down honestly it feels smoother and better than my old 120hz 1080p Monitor. Anyone else experienced this ?

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.

well for 120hz monitors of course you need more GPU power, but with 60hz non-gsync and 60hz g-sync it does negate some of the need for more GPU horsepower. You still want to aim for 40+ fps at the minimum

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.
