Gefore RTX laptop artwork

The recent 2021 release of Nvidia's RTX 30 Series for laptops has us very excited about what this means for the future of laptop gaming. If you missed the launch, don't worry! We will give you a rundown of all key features right here, before letting you know when and where you can grab yourself an RTX 3080 gaming laptop. 

Features of the 30 series

The first thing to mention is the extraordinary performance jump from the 20 series to the 30 series as performance is almost doubled! This is due to Nvidia's new Ampere architecture - which is the advancement from it's Turing architecture. The Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) deliver an impressive 2X the output of it’s predecessors, to give you a laptop that packs a performance punch.

Ray-tracing

The RTX GPU series centre around the all-important ray tracing, which gives incredibly lifelike lighting. The 30 series GPU's feature the second-generation RT cores which can handle up to twice the throughput of the 20 series. What does this mean for you? Well, it means effortless and realistic visuals on a range of modern titles including Cyberpunk 2077 and Minecraft with RTX.

DLSS

Nvidia DLSS is powered by the 3rd generation Tensor cores, which can give up to 2X the throughput of the Turing-architecture Tensor cores. DLSS allows you to enjoy cranked up settings in ray traced and rasterised games, by boosting frame rates whilst also maintaining super-sharp visuals. 

Nvidia Reflex

Nvidia understand that latency or input lag can be the difference between winning and losing in competitive games where each millisecond counts. This is why they have designed Nvidia reflex, which can reduce input lag and optimise system latency to give you the upper-hand in fast-paced games!

A GPU for work and play

A laptop with the RTX 3080 is perfect for those looking to use it for creative work as well as play, as it can work as a portable studio. This GPU has been backed by Nvidia studio, and therefore is optimised to accelerate performance in a range of creative apps to give you faster creative workflows. It also has AI acceleration to give incredibly fast performance. So whether you're rendering complex 3D scenes, editing high-resolution video or live streaming in HD, you’ll be backed by the power and performance of the 30 series.

For the bloggers and streamers out there, the Nvidia broadcast app has been designed with you in mind as you can now enhance your audio and video with background noise removal, accelerated encoding and virtual backgrounds.

Max Q technologies

Say hello to the 3rd generation Max-Q technologies, which have been optimised to give both power and performance in thin and light laptops. 

Dynamic boost

The AI powered dynamic boost 2.0 delivers the needed power between the GPU, GPU memory, and CPU for a larger performance boost than ever before.  The AI networks in Dynamic Boost 2.0 manage power on a per-frame basis, so your laptop is constantly optimizing for maximum performance while you’re gaming and creating.

Whispermode 2.0

Enjoy an entirely new level of acoustic control on the 3080. With Whispermode 2.0, all you have to do is pick your desired acoustic level and let the AI algorithms manage the CPU, GPU, fan speeds and system temperatures for you, giving you optimal performance with minimum effort required.

Resizable bar

This advanced PCI Express feature enables the CPU to access the entire GPU frame buffer at once, so you can enjoy enhanced performance. 

The 30 series

Allow yourself to feel the difference with the RTX 30 series. Whether you’re a gamer or content creator, you will no doubt benefit from one of the fastest cards available. 

Range of RTX 30 series laptops


Specs on the 3080

6144 Nvidia Cuda Cores

1245-1710 Boost Clock (MHz)

80-150+W GPU Subsystem power (W)

16GB/8GB GDDR6

256-bit Memory interface width


How does the 3080 compare to the 2080?

The 30 Series uses the Ampere architecture, which brings a substantial jump in performance (almost double) that of the 20 series Turing architecture.

Whilst we do have ray tracing and tensor cores on the 2080 series, raytracing was not commonly adopted in games when it the 20 series was released. However as ray tracing has increased in popularity, we now see more games taking advantage of it. This is why we are excited to find second-generation dedicated ray-tracing cores on the 30 series which can give ultra-realistic graphics effortlessly.

In addition to this, we have the third generation of AI as well as third-gen Max-Q technologies, which give cutting edge features including improved dynamic boost and whisper mode. In terms of specs, the 3080 also has over double the Cuda cores, is available in double the memory and has a significantly higher boost clock than the 20 series. 

Overall, we have a smaller processor that delivers almost double the performance of it's predecessor in a range of games and applications, and without much of a difference in price!

When building or upgrading a PC, there’s one component that is arguably the most important, serving as your system’s foundation. This is, as you may have guessed, the motherboard. Your choice of motherboard will determine many things in your build, such as the components you are able to use, and vice versa - for example, your choice of CPU may determine which motherboard you should purchase. So, what exactly  is a motherboard, and what should you look out for? Read on for our top tips. What is a motherboard? A motherboard is the foundation of a computer and is the main printed circuit board that holds and allows communication between your crucial components, from processor to memory. Without having a motherboard, your hard drive, graphics card, and every other component won't be able to interact. It serves as a backbone to your system, which is why selecting the right motherboard for your build is crucial. While many modern motherboards are packed with a wide endless list of featu...

Where to Buy Lite Hash Rate GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 Graphics Cards

Image
While many of us rely on graphics cards to enjoy the latest gaming titles or to upgrade our PCs, their intelligent technology makes them ideal for alternative uses. NVIDIA GPUs are programmable, meaning they can be used for a range of activities from gene sequencing and weather simulation to mining cryptocurrency. Passionate about gaming, NVIDIA strives to find ways to ensure their GPUs " end up in the hands of gamers ", so we can experience cutting-edge technologies such as RTX real-time ray tracing as they were meant to be. What is Lite Hash Rate? Following the announcement in February that NVIDIA were reducing the Ethereum hash rate in all of their GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, they have now taken additional measures by applying a reduced hash rate to their new GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti ranges. "Lite Hash Rate" or "LHR" for short, is the term given to these new GPUs, which contain a reduced hash rate making them perfect for gaming ...

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
