If 120 frames per second on your gaming laptop's display is twice as fast as 60 frames per-second, then surely eight-times as many frames is eight-times as good. That's the thinking behind the latest super high-refresh rate panels on Alienware gaming laptops. The Dell subsidiary now sells its M17 R5 17-inch laptops, as well as x17R2 17-inch laptops with brand new panels. It's said to be the fastest in the market.
The panels are restricted to 1080p resolution with that amazing refresh rate, but that's probably for the best. You'll have to play an application that can output nearly 500 frames-per-second in order to see the benefits.Just Another Wordpress Site Turn off ray-tracing and go with Minecraft-grade textures, I suppose. The new screen has a 3ms response rate and it's compatible with both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync dependent on the GPU configuration. The upgrade costs $300 over the base 165Hz screen, which amounts to 95 cents per hertz.
I've seen 120hz screens compared to 240hz screens at trade shows, and they were enough for me to believe that even ultra-fast gamers could benefit from these screens. But what if you double the speed? It can't improve the performance of games I'm not convinced even for eSports pros who have Special Eyes. But ridiculous excess is the main draw of gaming hardware in the end.
