Ray tracing*
RTX is a brand.
Regardless, given the performance impact and how few games actually have ray tracing (implemented correctly), it makes more sense to just disregard ray tracing altoghether.
It’s an undercooked technology used to push more expensive products, nothing more.
Regarding dlss vs fsr and xess, yes dlss has better quality but it’s also proprietary so I honestly do not care about it. Just like gsync died, dlss will eventually die as well.
How can you “rely” on DLSS when you can easily use XeSS or FSR?
If you don’t need them they’re just more cost
Yeah, tell me another joke. the cost is negligible. Literally from cents to a few dollars for the manufacturer.
more holes where water/debris can get into the machine
This literally never happened to me or anyone I know.
more wrong holes to plug the charger into
If you plug in your usb-c/barrel jack charger into an ethernet/hdmi/displayport input, you deserve to have a broken laptop xD
If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.
Not really true, but ok. Keep on preaching for companies that screw over consumers :)
Why move the goalpost though? I’m not narrowing it down to a specific user in a specific setting. I’m just saying that more flexibility == more better.
Why would you make up a specific scenario to justify getting a inferior product (from a usability standpoint) than we used to?
Yeah, **one **HDMI port and no DisplayPort.
*making
Yeah and most don’t have a lot of ports. Hence, this post and the issue.
How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?
It won’t. That’s simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.
You misunderstood. They use those monitors when actually working in a stationary place with their desktop setup. However, it’s very common to then have to go to your client’s office to show them said work or discuss future steps. At which point having multiple port options comes in handy if you have to plug in to a tv, monitor or projector.
You can’t seriously consider asking for hdmi and displayport on a laptop a “specific need”.
A couple more ports wouldn’t make your laptop “chonky”.
Congrats for you. However, if you consider that other people use their computer in a different way, would it really be that bad if your computer were imperceptibly heavier so that everyone could use use it how they prefer?
Well, that sucks. Mine came with an hdmi, a displayport cable ans a usb-a to usb-b 3.0 cable for the monitor’s hub (it has an integrated kvm). To me it makes 100% sense to include at least 1 cable for each type of input in the monitor. If you’re fine with getting short-changed by manufacturers then good for you, I guess.
Technically, yes. However, show me a monitor that comes with a dp to usb-c cable. Included cables are 99% the same connector on botj ends. That means that you’d need to buy extra cables (or a hub) for all of you non usb-c ports/devices.
Which is unnecessary and also precisely my point.
If you’re worried about 50-100gr then you should hit the gym my friend.
Also, that hub you’d have to carry around weighs more than just having the ports on the laptop.
Straight from the integrated nic is not something common but here’s an example.
However, my point was that more ports means that you have more bandwidth. If you plug in a 10gbe adapter to one tb3 port, you’re añready using up 25% of your bandwidth and you could no longer plug in 2 high resolution monitors to that same port for example. Not to mention that I don’t think there are hubs with 10gbe (they’re adapters exclusively for ethernet). So that means that you plug in 1 adapter and you already lose like half of youe available ports.
I don’t know why you keep coming up with excuses for being upcharged. You’re giving me strong Stockholm Syndrome vibes.
That’s a very lazy, short-sighted and first world problem way of looking at this issue.
Why would having the option of using either a hub or plugging things on separately be worse than only being able to use a hub?
I don’t see how that’s so terrible. It would slightly phisically bigger (if that) but it wouldn’t weight more and you wouldn’t need to carry around a hub.
4k120 panels weren’t even available in 2017 afaik. But you could do dual 4k120 with one hdmi 2.1 and 1 displayport 1.4 so just need 2 video outputs from your laptop (which used to be pretty common).
Please note that we’re having this discussion in 2024 and I’m talkimg about use cases in 2024. I don’t really see the point in talking about what you would theoretically do 6 years ago with panels that weren’t even available.
The proprietary gsync approach with a dedicated hw module is indeed dead and most “g-sync” monitors just use the now pretty common vesa’s vrr (aka freesync).
However I did research a bit and found some “gsync pulsar” monitors but none have been released yet, I believe. They do sound like unnecessary overpriced products though. That’s Nvidia for ya.
