It’s pretty impressive that integrated graphics can perform this well.
Performance benchmarks for mobile parts are meaningless without power consumption data.
True. If this is around a 30 watt tdp, it would have amazing power consumption numbers (for reference, they were comparing it to a 1070 max q, which could have a max tdp of 115 watts).
Wikipedia lists the 780M as 35-65W so 30W sounds a little too optimistic.
I have an older 680m in my laptop and it performs pretty well with a combined package power of under 45 watts. Usually the last 10% comes at like 50% increased power consumption so that may be where the 35-65 watt range comes from, but the final performance shouldn’t be too far off.
I guess this is a sign that I need to update my rig…
Huh… So an integrated GPU now performs better than my GTX 1060 6GB?
Considering that I can still play games reasonably comfortably on my 1060 I find it pretty impressive.
Though… This is likely also writing on the wall for me to upgrade… At some point… Though honestly I dint feel like I’m really being limited by my GPU yet. The 1060 6GB is a pretty legendary card.
1060 gang represent!
I was a bit worried because the new FFXIV expansion bought a new graphics engine with it, but if anything it performs even better than the old one.
If I want to play something with modern graphics, that’s what my PS5 is for. The Talos Principle 2 demo made the 1060 cry, and obviously anything with raytracing is out.
I think the best thing you can do if you’ve got an older card is make sure you’ve got a GSync/FreeSync/VRR monitor for it, so those bits where it chugs down from 60fps go to a more manageable 40-50fps rather than skipping or tearing frames. I find I don’t mess with graphics settings as much either.
The only recent game I’ve played that made my GPU cry was cyberpunk. But in the beginning that game was also a mess and now runs pretty decently.
Thing is with modern day AAA games, considering what unoptimised messes they’re released in, I can’t be sure if the issues are with my card or the game being shite.
But to be honest… I don’t play that many AAA games anymore. The majority of them are incredibly uninteresting to me, are riddled with live service garbage, or are generally all pretty graphics and no substance.
This rly interesting. I have the 780m and it seems sufficient for most games at 60fps but this could help push me up to 120 or 90.
Was hoping to build a pc, the gpu shit show kept me away for years. Maybe a laptop would do.
I have system76 but cant rly recomend cuz the touchpad is not great and charging situation is bad. Thinking framework hopefully they land this hardware.
