If 120 frames-per second on your gaming laptop's display is twice as quick as 60 frames per second, then surely eight-times as many frames is eight-times as good. This is the reason behind the brand new super high-refresh rate panels on Alienware gaming laptops. The Dell subsidiary is now selling its M17 R5 17-inch laptops and x17R2 17" laptops sporting brand new panels. It is said to be the fastest in industry.



While the panels are able to display 1080p resolution with this high-resolution refresh rate, it's likely for good. https://minecraftservers.life/ After all, you'll need to be running games that output more than 500 frames-per-second to reap the benefit - turn off ray-tracing and go with Minecraft-grade textures, I suppose. The new screen has a 3ms response time and is compatible with NVIDIA GSync and AMD FreeSync, depending on your GPU configuration. The upgrade costs $300 over the base 165Hz screen, which works out to 95 cents per hertz.



I've seen 120hz screens in comparison to 240hz screens at trade shows and they were sufficient to convince me that even some ultra-fast gamers could benefit from them. But what about doubling that speed again? It won't help the performance of games I'm not sure even for eSports pros with Special Eyes. Gaming equipment is famous for its extravagant designs.
