High, high, high, high, I mean, pretty much everything's on. I will leave DLSS on of course, but yeah, okay, cool. Well, let's see how this actually looks. I'm sure you've seen all the RTX On memes at this point, but it does do a lot to ground you in the immersion of a game especially when you're gaming on a laptop.

I mean, just look at the reflection here on the ground, right? You can see how it sort of naturally blooms as you walk over to a little bit more of a puddle and then you get those much sharper reflections of the screen all the way up here. I mean, it just does a lot to ground you in a game, and while yes, not every thing takes advantage of ray tracing right now.

You're also getting all the additional performance of the RTX 30 series first even like, you know, non-ray-traced games. There are lots of marketing demos showing you ridiculous, unreasonable things like running five Chrome tabs at the same time, which is clearly impossible by the laws of physics. However, what we can do is my own patented ultra super-tasking demo that I definitely have created completely by myself with no help from anyone.

So start out with we have a copy of Cold War running, right? So we are running here. It is full screen, 1080p 60. So actually, I will show you the settings just so you can see it's all running at the same time, full screen 60p 1080p and then we also have pretty much all settings on high. We even have like ray tracing on and whatnot.

So you can see this obviously is running well. However, at the same time, I also have a copy of OBS running. So I'll go ahead and start recording; will be the same file with streaming. And now we're recording that gameplay as well as my webcam feed at a smooth 60 frames per second.

Now this is mostly thanks to that NVENC encoding built into the GPU so they can close look right down here. We're only using about 2% of the CPU, which is impressive because it really enables us to not only stream but also game at the same time. And we're really not losing that performance. However, who just games and streams on a laptop? That's ridiculous.

So let's also fire up a copy of Adobe Premiere. Yes, I'm going to also play back some videos so you can see; we'll just play some random clip that we were watching earlier. We're playing back at half resolution but this is also that same 1080p 60. It plays back fine, but importantly, I'm going to export it at the same time.

Is this a good idea? Probably not. We have a two and a half minute 1080p export. I'm gonna go ahead and start that, and hopefully if my house of cards doesn't completely collapse, there we go. So we're exporting it in like two minutes or so.

Sorry, what two-minute clips?

Two-minute clips? Almost real-time?

And now I'm gonna switch back over to Cold War and look; I'm playing the game at the same time. Oh, you know what, let me go check on my OBS. Hey look, I'm still recording, and I haven't dropped any frames.

And then I wanna switch back over to Abode Premiere and it is still exporting. This I think is a slightly ridiculous example of how you can take advantage of something like the power of the RTX 3080. But the nice thing is we have all the resources we need.

I mean, this GPU has 16 GBs of VRAM. That's more than the desktop RTX 3080. And what's crazy is that was all GPU for the most part. And we probably had CPU headroom for OBS again if you really wanted to.

Exactly. So while this might not be the most practical thing in the world, it really does go to show what you can do with this kind of horsepower in a laptop, which is this thin. So this is pretty clearly the most powerful laptop I have ever tried.

Then well, yes, this specific configuration won't be out for a little while. So definitely be sure to stay tuned if you want more on this stuff because there's a whole lot more stuff coming soon. But regardless, I think it's safe to say this is never going back to Nvidia. Thanks guys for letting me borrow your laptop.

Make sure to check out the links in the description. You can buy your own 30 series laptop. I mean, you get like a 3060 for 1000 bucks or something but this one's spoken for by me forever. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time I do some multitasking.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- This is the world'smost powerful laptop.Now it may not be six inches thickand need a portablenuclear reactor to run.However inside this chassiswe have a full RTX 3080 laptop GPU.This is all thanks toNvidia who were very kindnot only sponsor this videobut also provide us withan early sample of this,the MSI GS66 Stealth.Now, of course, when you look at what theyhad last generation with the RTX 20 seriesof laptops, they werevery powerful, right?They had some serious graphics horsepowerin fairly thin and lightweight packages.Am I, am I not?(drilling)Do I have, did I forget how to screw?So inside we have a lot of cooling.Okay, so we have one, two,three, four, five, six heat pipeskeeping our RTX 3080 cool.Now, one of the thingsto keep in mind is thatwith the RTX 30 series oflaptop GPUs they're of coursea huge jump over the last generation.So we're seeing those same kind of gainsnot only for traditional gamesbut also games that takeadvantage of ray tracing.So essentially you're justgetting a ton more performance.But on top of that theinitial configurationsare slightly different.If you're familiar withthe big chungus itself,the RTX 3080 on the desktop side whileit is an incredibly powerful GPU,it's also, I don't knowhow to put this, biglike big with three Gs.Now to get all of this power into a laptopwhat Nvidia opted to do is slightly changeup their configurations.So if you look at the raw performanceand the specs of this laptop GPU,you'll see that it's actuallyfairly similar to somethinglike the desktop RTX 3070,which makes sense consideringthat a laptop has to not only be thinand last more than 15seconds on a battery.There's a whole lot ofheat that needs to be movedout of the way becausethis laptop, I mean,it's got a 1440p 240Hz panel.That's a lot.So of course there are tonsof features I wanna tryand test and benchmarksand all that kind of stuff.But the most important thinghere is how does it game?It's almost like I'mtesting a gaming laptopor something right now.So before we go into Max-Qand all that kind of stufflet's just load up a couple of gamesand see how it actually performs.Oh, I need a mouse.I need to get a mouse.Where's my mouse, is that my mouse?Yay, my mouse, look at that.Now Fortnite might not bethe first game you thinkof when you think theworld's most powerful laptop.However they're actuallya couple of featuresthat do make it a good sort of test case.Not only does it support raytracing, which is importantbecause the ray tracingcores are much more powerfulon this laptop than previous generationsbut also it has verygood support for DLSS.Now that is something whichcan make a big differenceto your frame rate whilestill allowing you tohave a ton of imagequality and importantlya ton of performance.I will say this screen on theGS66 is certainly far betterthan pretty much any laptopdisplay I've ever used.Not only is it a full 1440p resolutionbut importantly it supports Nvidia G-Sync.Oh man!But it also runs a full240 frames per second.Is that enough to keep mefrom dying in Fortnite?No, no, it is not, but atleast the laptop supports me.Now because this is not final softwareand certainly not final hardware,it's hard to judge it too harshly.I will say the fan noiseis a little bit louderthan I would personally like,you can turn it on silentmode if you'd like.But there's a lot of power in this laptop.Part of that is becausethis is taking advantageof Nvidia's Max-Q technology.Now Max-Q's a little bitof a marketing catchallfor a lot of individual different things.So things like optimizing not only of coursethe GPU and the fan curvesand all the cooling apparatusbut also like even down to like the PCBand the individual chips on board.There's a lot that goes into gettingthat Max-Q certification.And of course every Max-Q laptopcan be designed differently.But why don't we play agame that's not Fortnite?I think that's a good idea.There are so many wide varieties of gamesthat are not Fortnite that I couldbe playing right now such as Cyberpunk.Which actually to befair is a legitimatelyreally good benchmark because the thingwith Cyberpunk, that is a demanding game.So I've not tried playing Cyberpunkat all on this system yet.So I'm actually curious to see,well it immediately throws meto high and ultra ray tracing.So well, Cyberpunk believes in me.I don't know if I believe in myself.All right, I mean, everything'son, context, shadows,high, high, ultra, ultra,ultra, high, high, high, high,I mean, pretty much everything's on.I will leave DLSS on ofcourse, but yeah, okay, cool.Well, let's see how this actually looks.I'm sure you've seen allthe RTX On memes at this pointbut it does do a lot toground you in the immersionof a game especially whenyou're gaming
