The Power of Realistic Light Sources and Rendering Techniques

One of the key factors that can elevate a gaming experience is the use of realistic light sources. In games, lighting can greatly impact the way objects interact with each other, creating a sense of depth and immersion. This can be particularly noticeable when it comes to shadows and reflections. By using accurate lighting models, developers can create more realistic environments that draw players in. For example, if there's a light on the back of a car, it will cast shadows and reflections on surrounding objects, making the scene feel more lifelike.

To achieve this level of realism, many modern games employ advanced rendering techniques. One such technique is the use of anisotropic filtering, which can create more detailed and accurate representations of surfaces. However, this can also come at a cost in terms of performance. By adjusting the settings to balance performance and visual fidelity, developers can strike a sweet spot that delivers a great gaming experience.

In addition to lighting and rendering techniques, modern GPUs like NVIDIA's GeForce 3070 are capable of delivering impressive performance even on laptops. This is thanks in part to advancements in AI-backed rendering scalers, which can upscale images and improve frame rates. One such scaler is Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), which uses AI to enhance the visual quality of games while maintaining a consistent frame rate.

In our testing, we found that with Nvidia DLSS enabled, we were able to achieve impressive performance on a laptop, with frame rates exceeding 80 FPS at high settings. This is particularly notable when compared to previous generations of GPUs, where Ray tracing and other advanced features often came at the cost of performance.

Racing Games: A Test of Performance and Realism

One genre that's particularly well-suited to showcasing these advancements is racing games. With their fast-paced action and emphasis on realism, racing games provide a challenging test for both the graphics processing unit (GPU) and the player. In our testing, we found that with high settings enabled, including Ray tracing and Nvidia DLSS, we were able to achieve impressive performance even on a laptop.

The game in question was Formula One, which we set up to take place at the iconic Brazilian circuit of Interlagos. With Lando Norris as our driver, we set off to test the limits of our laptop's GPU capabilities. The results were impressive, with frame rates exceeding 80 FPS and image quality that looked crisp and detailed.

However, even with these powerful GPUs, racing games can still be unforgiving. A single mistake on the track can result in a lost position or even a crash, as we learned when our driver took an unexpected detour through the infield. Despite this setback, we were able to hold onto our position and navigate the track with relative ease.

The Importance of Microphone Quality

As with any gaming setup, microphone quality is also crucial for effective communication with friends and teammates. In our testing, we found that the integrated mic on our laptop was capable of producing clear and crisp audio, even at high volumes. This made it easy to communicate with others in Discord or Skype, and ensured that we didn't miss out on any key updates or strategies.

Of course, for those who want the best possible audio experience, a desktop-grade microphone setup is still the way to go. But for casual gaming or online multiplayer, the integrated mic on our laptop was more than sufficient. As always, we'll be keeping an eye out for future testing and reviews of this feature, but for now, it's a solid addition to any gaming setup.

Testing Microphone Quality with Windows Voice Recorder

Before wrapping up our video, we wanted to test the microphone quality of our integrated mic using Windows Voice Recorder. Unfortunately, it appears that the software needs an update - we've been waiting for several minutes for it to load! In the meantime, we decided to use Nvidia Screen Recording on our desktop instead.

We activated the microphone and hit record, hoping to capture a decent audio signal. The results were surprisingly good, considering the integrated mic's limitations. With a bit of tweaking in post-processing, our recorded voice sounded clear and crisp, making it perfect for communication with friends or teammates. It may not be as good as a desktop-grade mic setup, but it's definitely a solid option for casual gaming.

Conclusion

As we've seen in this video, modern GPUs like NVIDIA's GeForce 3070 are capable of delivering impressive performance even on laptops. With advanced rendering techniques and AI-backed scalers, developers can create more realistic environments that draw players in. Whether it's racing games or other genres, these advancements have made a significant impact on the gaming experience.

Of course, there's still room for improvement - particularly when it comes to microphone quality. For now, we'll be sticking with our laptop's integrated mic, but who knows what future updates may bring? Thanks to MSI for making this video possible, and as always, we'll see you in the next one!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to another geeko art video in this one I'm going to be showing you how to build the ultimate laptop gaming setup gaming notebooks have come on so much in the last couple of years and for those looking for a more portable solution this still works well when they're sitting in a home office or bedroom this can be a great solution plus with great deals now available on gaming laptops as back to school deals flying around and all that jazz it might actually be a good time to consider picking yourself up something like this in this video I'll be walking you through the notebook just how it performs some of the best peripherals you can pick up for it including a keyboard mouse and a monitor let's do this now a couple of months ago at this point we actually did a Roundup over on geekawart.com of some of our favorite gaming notebooks on the market the best designs for those looking to game at 1080p 4K and most importantly 1440p on that Roundup was this the MSI Crosshair 15. in particular the Rainbow Six Siege Edition now we thought this notebook deserved a recommendation because it's got great specs on paper you've got an RTX 3070 the laptop design GPU in particular a 12th gen core i7 12700h 32 gigabytes of RAM and a one terabyte SSD I mean compare this thing to a PC build and the on-paper specs are actually pretty good the 3070 in this is pretty powerful it gives great 1440 and 1080p gaming and for actually playing your favorite titles on the go it's an awesome show but it got me thinking one of the big downsides of a gaming laptop is that when I'm at home I'd rather be using a monitor a keyboard or Mouse and getting that desktop experience if the hardware in this is basically desktop grade or thereabouts why isn't that possible at this point we received an email from MSI who offered to send over their Crosshair 15. now you can see this one is not going to be to everybody's tastes but I quite like it it's got this Rainbow Six Siege colorway Edition which I think looks pretty cool you've got like the react logos on the mouse pad you've got this really cool kind of bright yellow acrylic color-coded was and D keys on a fully customizable RGB keyboard and this really cool color gradient as well I will admit it is a bit out there when you look at the notebook from the rear you've got that Rainbow Six Siege map design with this really nice yellow color accent that feeds through from under our 1440p display the notebook itself looks pretty solid you've got plenty of coolant at the back the biggest factor with a gaming laptop is is whether the calling's any good if it isn't you're gonna have some bad frame rates thermal throttling is really really an important topic to discuss with the gaming notebook so good calling is always good to see we've got a full-size ethernet port as well so that when you're at your favorite Lan you can hook up latency free and join in the party HDMI we've got USBC super speed Port so a nice fast USB port a USB type a and a headphone mic combo Jack if we spin around to the other side we've got basically much the same another USB 3 Port of a type a variety and a USB 2 Port of a type A with your integrated power connection overall though it's nice a keyboard is going to be great for gaming on the move and while it won't quite stand up to a fully mechanical keyboard it's going to do the job nicely RTX Graphics as well to get access to dlss and Ray tracing for good measure and overall it's a design that's not going to be for everyone but you'll be glad to know they do do a non-rainbow six Siege version if you're looking for something just a little bit more toned down as much as our 15-inch notebook display is going to work great with a high refresh rate it's perhaps not going to be quite as immersive as the monitor I've opted to go for for our full laptop gaming setup this is msi's 323 CQR we've had it in the office for I want to say like a year now since it came out it's a VA panel with a 165 Hertz refresh rate and a Quad HD resolution we're talking 2560 by 1440 with I think a 1000 R curve really really heavily curved actually for the size of the display which is really really immersive you've got a webcam at the bottom which is perhaps best avoided but all in all it gives you fantastic picture quality at a pretty decent price point compared to the rest of the market I'll be pairing our keyboard up with the MSI Vigor GK 50 Elite now MSI are not quite as new to the peripherals game as you might think they've been making keyboard and mice for a while but this is genuinely like legitimately one of my favorite keyboards ever if you take a look at the design of the keyboard it's got kind of a mix between a low profile and a non-low profile design so you still get that fairly chunky feel when you hit the keys but they're also not massive it's got kale box white switches as well which feel awesome a full form factor and while it lacks many like macro or customizable buttons you don't get media control keys it's also very affordably priced I daily drove the GK 50 for like two years and the GK 50 Elite is a nice upgrade with a few more features a bit of RGB and all in all just a very very nice design that we're fans of here on the channel the NSI GM 41 clutch lightweight gaming mouse completes our keyboard and mouse combo they do do a wireless version of this as well where you could just pop the dongle into the back of the monitor that's something I have on my gaming setup is just have all of my dongles and stuff in my Monitor and then when my monitor Powers up my peripherals do too weighing in at just 65 grams it's one of the more lightweight mice doesn't have holes in you also still get some RGB and the wireless version while slightly heavier because of the battery has a cool little dock you can pop it on I quite like this one though it's also very good value for money I think the one aimer had with this setup was to suggest peripheral that were very good but equally didn't break the bank too much as that's never something you want to have in a setup like this finally we need to wrap our setup up with our headset now for this I've got a couple of choices there's an MSI one and a Logitech one that I thought were both decent shouts and the size ds502 is a more affordable option it's got a nice comfortable suspended headband which I like decent audio quality and the microphone is okay too however we've recently got in the office the Logitech g733 one of our writers has heard great things about this headset so we got it in to try it out and we're very impressed I think for our laptop setup having a wireless headset is perhaps a little bit more practical as it can also go with you on the move to connect up while you're gaming out and about wherever you might be it's got fantastic sound quality a very good microphone and even a little bit of RGB which we can configure in software so let's go ahead get that thing unboxed and that sort of completes our gaming setup this thing is so comfy it's unreal it's also got pretty good passive noise cancellation as the ear cups hug your ears fairly tight blocking out any external noise you can also adjust the headband with this here to make it larger or smaller you just pull it off and then you can change the notch up or down a little something like so if it will clip on at all there we are pop that over our Monitor and we're good to go I'm going to add a couple of accessories to give this setup a little bit more spice shall we say and make it feel that little bit more homely that little bit more real and then we can go ahead and plug our laptop and get gaming I suppose and see what this Rainbow Six Siege Edition is made of nice there we are so in theory now if we boot our laptop up we should hopefully get a bit of an image through I don't know whether our monitor is on oh that looks like progress so the notebook screen is on let's pop my very very secure pin number in oh who did a thing I have no idea what I'm doing is it on the wrong input that could be the cause oh by the way oh it's working oh look at that by the way if I forgot to mention earlier I've popped our monitor on a juronic monitor arm there are favorite monitor arms we've got one two three four five we've got 18 of them in the office on every every single desk they're amazing they separate your monitor from your desk and give you loads more real estate and they fit any basic compatible monitor with a 75 or 100 millimeter Mount which is basically every monitor out there other than maybe like a huge 43 inch Behemoth nice I'm going to swap sides of the desk and we're going to have a few games on our setup and test it out and see how good can a laptop powered setup actually be and is it worth some of the bonuses you get in terms of portability but perhaps the compromises in terms of performance hopefully the answer is yes oh a bit shot up we are being shot at oh here we go we're diving into our first game bit of fortnite we're kind of running a mix of competitive settings and also 1440p and so far I mean looking at the frame rate the results are pretty decent 190 200 frames per second so far on average our lovely little 30 70s proven pretty powerful in this instance yes first kill on the board lovely stuff oh it was coming for me for ages oh the adrenaline is flowing through my veins right now beautiful beautiful stuff right has he got anything that I like the look of God all of that we'll have the ammo frame rates looking solid Graphics looking fan dabby dozy it's a bit risky but let me give you guys a super quick look at the settings that we're running 1440 low dlss render distance to far basically competitive settings they're the same they don't need saving basically competitive settings across the board I can hear a little bit of commotion over the river 1440p then on our monitor driving our notebook display on my other side working absolutely A-Okay of course the idea is when you're running on your desktop setup you use the Monitor and when you're out and about you use the notebook they've both got the same screen resolution I mean you can have parity with these settings but obviously get a little bit more detail when running on the desktop mode with a bigger screen and a bit more immersion there's only eight left oh my goodness there's only eight players left how's that happen how has that happened I've got to make it into the zone I'm just gonna go for it I've got no other choice whoa bloody Norris he's not that's not good this is really not good right where's the character where's he gone where is he where's the person yes cool beautiful how did I manage that I had a dog I had a person oh goodness me goodness me just give me everything give me it all and then let's get out of here oh it's been a decent a decent I'm I'm pretty happy so far with with my performance today in fortnite I've certainly had worse moments don't know which gun which gun do I have is it gonna be a short range fight it's gonna be a long range fight there's three left three people no third third third third third third I saw him I had the wrong gun out and he's just been killed as well the game's over that was not a bad result fortnite looking pretty good on this PC uh performing actually very well indeed the next items we're going to jump into is a bit of F1 2022 it's one of my personal favorite games at the moment so I'm hoping the performance we can achieve is pretty good if we take a look here we've got the preset on high overall you can see just there I'm also going to turn on Ray tracing the quality as high the Shadows the reflections the ambient occlusion and the transparent Reflections on as well Ray tracing for those who don't know is where the GPU will actually pass the light sources from the source so if there's like a light on the back of a car and it will then see which other objects in the scene it interacts with that's why it makes your shadows and Reflections so much more realistic and can really Level Up Games in many respects the rest of it we're going to leave on high as well nice nice I think that's pretty much it and if we jump into the video mode F1 has like two settings for some reason we're gonna drop our anastropic filtering down to eight times we're going to enable Nvidia dlss and set it to the balance preset you can go to Quality if you want the best visual quality or performance balance is going to give us that nice Middle Ground basically it's an AI backed rendering scaler that's going to give us the resolution say of 1440 PNR case but at the frame rate should achieve with 1080p so it uses AI to upscale the image and there's a few fancy bits of trickery gives you more frame rate and on a laptop where your laptop GPU has slightly less power that can be very very important if we jump out of there let's have a quick race shall we and see what kind of results we're able to achieve with of course our 3070 laptop GPU for those of you who haven't watched the channel before you may not know but I am a massive massive massive formula one fan I'm going to have a race around Brazil I think uh just the one not the two hit advance and of course who else could I be other than the one and only Lando Norris much like in Fort now we've also got a frame rate counter in the top left it's capped at 60 FPS in the menus but once you jump into the game itself it should reach a slightly higher level or at least that's the plan oh okay that was 80 for a second there remember for a racing game 45 50 FPS is where you want to be of course 60 overall across the board is also useful as well decent start image quality looks pretty good to me and the frame rate is at nearly 80 frames per second very nice indeed oh that was a slightly dubious move oh I've got to hand the position back no what a disaster that's right I'll come for him this time oh I've lost I've lost a place I've lost two places oh this is a disaster here we go right oh that was three I lost three places getting that one back shall we oh my goodness yes they're cute we got a bit of lucky there with the elite oh no no no no no no no oh chaps this has not gone well this is like the game I'm supposed to be good at and now we're down flailing in what place are we in 16th oh no no no no there we go up to 15 bit of a late lunch down the inside looks like we're holding the position yes frame rate's good I actually can't believe to be honest with you from a laptop that we're getting this kind of frame rate at 1440p high settings with Ray tracing enabled I mean it wasn't all that long ago right that Ray tracing had a bit of a performance hit and everyone was going yeah you can't have that on a laptop not anymore those days are gone it looks like we could be on the verge of making up a few places down the inside we go yes it's a bit messy but we've got it done I can't believe how much fun this game is it looks awesome as well our notebook did a great job it's really cool to see that you can actually game on a laptop out and about on the move or you can of course plug up to a larger display to get a slightly more immersive gaming experience oh chaps chap steps yes thank you it really does give a great idea of the versatility a design that this could offer there is one thing I do want to test out though before we round off the video today day and that's tested microphone quality of the integrated mic Logitech headsets if we jump into Windows voice recorder oh it needs an update how can a voice recording software need an update that takes minutes I downloaded fortnite quicker than this right stuff this I'm Giving Up on voice recorder I'm instead going to use Nvidia screen recording on the desktop so turn the microphone on hit record and hopefully we should be able to do a mic test so you're using the integrated mic here it is Discord certified it's not going to be as good as a desktop Studio mic setup but it is going to be good enough to get talking with your friends and communicate it on apps like Discord Skype all of that good stuff if you enjoyed this video make sure to get subscribed thanks to MSI for making this video possible and as always we'll see you in the next onewhat is up guys welcome back to another geeko art video in this one I'm going to be showing you how to build the ultimate laptop gaming setup gaming notebooks have come on so much in the last couple of years

or at least that's the plan oh okay that was 80 for a second there remember for a racing game 45 50 FPS is where you want to be of course 60 overall across the board is also useful as well decent start image quality looks pretty good to me and the frame rate is at nearly 80 frames per second very nice indeed oh that was a slightly dubious move oh I've got to hand the position back no what a disaster that's right I'll come for him this time oh I've lost I've lost a place I've lost two places oh this is a disaster here we go right oh that was three I lost three places getting that one back shall we oh my goodness yes they're cute we got a bit of lucky there with the elite oh no no no no no no no oh chaps this has not gone well this is like the game I'm supposed to be good at and now we're down flailing in what place are we in 16th oh no no no no there we go up to 15 bit of a late lunch down the inside looks like we're holding the position yes frame rate's good I actually can't believe to be honest with you from a laptop that we're getting this kind of frame rate at 1440p high settings with Ray tracing enabled I mean it wasn't all that long ago right that Ray tracing had a bit of a performance hit and everyone was going yeah you can't have that on a laptop not anymore those days are gone it looks like we could be on the verge of making up a few places down the inside we go yes it's a bit messy but we've got it done I can't believe how much fun this game is it looks awesome as well our notebook did a great job it's really cool to see that you can actually game on a laptop out and about on the move or you can of course plug up to a larger display to get a slightly more immersive gaming experience oh chaps chap steps yes thank you it really does give a great idea of the versatility a design that this could offer there is one thing I do want to test out though before we round off the video today day and that's tested microphone quality of the integrated mic Logitech headsets if we jump into Windows voice recorder oh it needs an update how can a voice recording software need an update that takes minutes I downloaded fortnite quicker than this right stuff this I'm Giving Up on voice recorder I'm instead going to use Nvidia screen recording on the desktop so turn the microphone on hit record and hopefully we should be able to do a mic test so you're using the integrated mic here it is Discord certified it's not going to be as good as a desktop Studio mic setup but it is going to be good enough to get talking with your friends and communicate it on apps like Discord Skype all of that good stuff if you enjoyed this video make sure to get subscribed thanks to MSI for making this video possible and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
