Hi all,
I am debating a value proposition here between two configurations of the same laptop. Specifically the laptop is the Max-17 from Eluktronics. https://www.eluktronics.com/MAX-17. The Question here is whether or not to pay the $900 premium for the RTX3080 (max-q I assume although it does not say specifically) with the Ryzen 5800H, or to keep the lower 3060 (presumably max-q as well) with the Ryzen 4800h. I understand one is better than the other, but for playing AAA games right now on QHD, and being able to use the rig for 4-6 years for AAA games and not have <30FPS, what's all of your thoughts on spending that $900 premium?
I have a hunch that in such a tight machine the thermals will be the limiting factor anyway, so there might not be much of a bang-for-your-buck out of the 5800H + 3080 since it will hit max thermals quicker anyway.
I'm a bit of an enthusiast and I understand the hardware at a novice+ level, but I am really curious how people feel the speculative thermals will bottleneck this rig or not.
Thanks everyone for the input,
Glen
