Graphics card is throttled in a gaming laptop?

I heard if you want to buy a gaming laptop (how I want to do it) the graphics are throttled down by an Nvidia Geforce gtx 2080, right?

Have I heard it before?

This is true for most notebooks, because the cooling system in a notebook is usually much more compact than in a desktop system.

And the desktop variants of graphics cards can easily consume 200W and more under load, which is why the performance compared to desktop graphics cards is slowed down in favor of the battery life.

Most notebook graphics cards lower the clock and the voltage, and times for the maximum boost duration may also be shortened.

Do you mean now I should leave it with the laptop or how? (no offense)

So I need the notebook to gamble for Fortnite, Gta, Warzone, Rainbow six siege… And for school. I value good graphics, a good processor. What would you recommend me there? PC and notebooks. LG Jonas

Yes that's right.

This is due to the mostly very compact design, the necessary cooling is hardly achieved. As a result, it gets very loud and the clock must still be reduced because there are otherwise heat problems. The same applies to the CPU.

All in all, it gets very loud, the battery usually only lasts 45 minutes and less and the performance is hardly comparable with a desktop PC… But as compensation you have good muscle training during transport because the notebooks are also heavy… Oh, an outlet should always be nearby.

For GTA and Fortnite, the RTX 2080 is more than enough overkill. It doesn't matter whether you use a desktop or a notebook.

But if the budget is right, I would recommend buying a cheap used office notebook for the school (from a business series because it lasts a long time). And to play a desktop gaming PC.

As a notebook:

But then choose a 240GB SSD instead of the 500GB hard drive for an extra charge. Or if you are savvy buy a 2.5 "SSD yourself and swap it for a hard drive (the surcharges are quite steep).

Advantage: even if the display does not have Full HD (but you don't want to play with the notebook), the device is nice and compact thanks to the 1.5 "display and can be taken to school every day.

For a complete PC, just drop in at Dubaro or HardwareRat and choose something suitable for the rest of the budget:

E.g.

Dubaro: configuration 650363

Should have a Ryzen 7 3700x, Rx 5700XT, 16 GB 3200 RAM and a total of approx.1.5TB SSD storage. I added Windows and MS Office, a real MS Office is usually not wrong for school.

Hardware Council:

Unfortunately only with Ryzen 5 3600 which makes this PC quite unsuitable for streaming (an eight core CPU would be better but in its finished configs it is only included in much higher priced models)

or do it yourself:

You have to take a look at the partly listed licenses for Windows and Office, it might be worthwhile to get them from other shops like Lizengo & Co. Also an Office 365 license could be interesting for you (because of the notebook and desktop PC, since this usually applies to several PCs)

Many thanks.
