In recent years, manufacturers have managed to significantly increase the power of our laptops, now capable of prowess in terms of performance. And one of the great architects of this move upmarket is Nvidia, whose graphics cards meet the needs of both gamers and creators.
With its RTX 40 series graphics cards, Nvidia pushes the limits of our laptops even further. Based on the Ava Lovelace architecture and a TSMC engraving, these new GPUs have cutting-edge technologies offering exceptional performance, allowing you to play in good conditions and boost your productivity to create ambitious content.
The benefits of GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards
The latest generation of Nvidia GPUs, the GeForce RTX 40 Series widen a performance gap with other models. In addition to being more powerful, they are much more energy efficient, that is to say, they consume much less to deliver similar or better performance. Nvidia also integrates exclusive technologies into its graphics cards, which make all the difference for users.
The most impressive is undoubtedly the DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) 3. This is a scaling feature, which consists of making the GPU calculate an image in lower quality in order to relieve it in this task. , and thus gain precious frames per second to improve fluidity in the game. Artificial intelligence then intervenes to add the missing pixels and obtain an image with the desired definition. DLSS also analyzes sequential images and motion data to create additional images of the highest quality. Players get a better framerate while preserving the quality of the graphics. DLSS 3 is only available on RTX 40 graphics cards.

Another important asset from Nvidia is Ray Tracing. Its GPUs are equipped with RT Cores, calculation units specially dedicated to ray tracing, ensuring high performance in this area. As a reminder, ray tracing makes it possible to calculate more natural light and reflection effects, for better fidelity and immersion in the game.
Nvidia recently announced the deployment of DLSS 3.5 on its graphics cards, which improves rendering when ray tracing is activated. The big news is the introduction of Ray Reconstruction, an AI-based feature that makes developers’ jobs easier while improving image quality. This novelty will of course make the in-game experience even more spectacular (Alan Wake 2 is notably announced as compatible), but also serve professionals who use 3D modeling software using ray tracing.
We can also mention Nvidia Reflex, which allows ultra-low system latency, ideal for online and competitive gamers. Creators can rely on Nvidia Studio, which speeds up creative processes by delivering exceptional performance gains over leading software for video editing, photo editing, 3D animation, motion design, graphic design, architectural visualization or streaming.
PC ideas for gamers and creators
If you’re a creator, you need a laptop that’s reliable, delivers top performance, and has a quality display. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra is a perfect machine for this. Its Intel Core i7 13700H processor with 14 cores is clocked up to 5 GHz in TurboBoost. Combined with its 32 GB RAM, you can perform several heavy tasks simultaneously without slowing down your machine. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card can seriously speed up your software rendering times and many other processes to boost your productivity. Finally, the 1 TB SSD also contributes to the availability of a fast system and software.
The large 16-inch OLED screen offers a 2880 x 1800 pixel resolution display and covers 120% of the color space of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema. The connection consists of two Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI socket. The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra also supports the Wi-Fi 6E wireless connectivity standard to enjoy the fastest and most stable speeds. It comes with Windows 11 pre-installed.

For gamers, we offer the Asus TUF F15 and powerful Intel Core i9-13900H CPU with 14 cores with a clock frequency that can go up to 5.4 GHz in boost. It is associated with a GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, compatible with DLSS 3/3.5 and ray tracing and benefiting from 6 GB of VRAM. The machine has 16 GB of RAM (expandable up to 32 GB) and a 512 GB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD for storage.
The 15.6-inch screen has a Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel definition and a refresh rate of 144 Hz for unparalleled fluidity in game. The display will therefore be able to take advantage of DLSS to exploit its potential and offer the player a high number of frames per second.
The connectors of this model are very extensive: two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port (type C), an HDMI 2.1 socket, another HDMI in 2.0, a DisplayPort, two Thunderbolt (including a Thunderbolt 4) and a USB 4.0. Three months of Xbox Game Pass membership is included with device purchase.

For smaller budgets, the Medion ERAZER DEPUTY P40 is an interesting alternative. He cuts on the processor, an Intel Core i5-12450H which remains quite sufficient for the practice of gaming, to put the means on the graphics card: an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 with 8 GB of memory, the best solution on the market today to play in Full HD in the best conditions.
The 16 GB of DDR5 RAM (up to 64 GB) are significant, as is the 512 GB SSD. The 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel and 144 Hz screen allows you to enjoy the graphics of your games in complete fluidity. The manufacturer has been generous on the number of ports with USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A, USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, Mini Display 1.4 and HDMI with HDCP.
