RTX 30 Series Low-Priced Gaming Laptops Now Available Starting today, gaming notebooks with RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050 GPUs will be available starting at $799 and will support Nvidia's frame rate enhancement feature, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), where it is needed most.

It's safe to say that at least for 1080p games, you can expect decent performance from the two new mobile GPUs from Nvidia's skunkworks: the RTX 3050 Ti is a steady step up from the GTX 1650 Ti, and the RTX 3050 is capable of today's 4GB of GDDR6 may be a bit prohibitive, but nothing a little tweaking of settings can't solve. For the most part anyway.

The GA107 chips under the surface of both laptop GPUs also have the prerequisite silicon to enable ray tracing in games. What really intrigues me, however, is the introduction of DLSS for the first time on an entry-level graphics card.

For those of you who are completely unfamiliar with DLSS, it is a performance-enhancing, machine-learning upscaling technology that was first released in the Turing RTX 20 series generation. Since then, we have come to appreciate DLSS

as it has undergone significant improvements and more and more games are supported.

DLSS comes in handy when you are doing your best to pull 60 fps on the latest triple-A titles or pushing for faster panels. Usually seen as a way to counter the performance hit of ray tracing on high-end cards, this technique is merely a means of enhancing the card's native performance at the expense of fidelity.

There is a loss of image quality as a result of DLSS, but to what extent depends on the choice of DLSS upscaling, which may not be as noticeable on a small laptop panel as, say, a 32-inch 4K panel.

So while it may be suitable for a budget gaming laptop with an RTX 3050, it may still feel a bit underpowered for the most demanding modern games.

We have already heard that there are many laptop manufacturers preparing models with RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050. Many of them are powered by Intel's Tiger Lake-H processor, which was announced at the same time today. [While there has been no official announcement regarding the RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti discrete GPUs for gaming PCs, we are certain that they will feature the same GA107 GPUs as those for mobile devices. However, some specifications, such as the number of cores, may differ.
