Lies. Granted I am not a huge gamer anymore, but I play warcraft III reforged on max settings on 1080p with 60fps vsync, and also stellaris in 4k. Even Linus from Linus Tech Tips tested the Xe Max and says that for alot of people it will be satisfying. I won't play anything or with any settings that drop me below 60fps though. But I also have a Razor Core X Chroma to attach an eGPU if i really wanted to but haven't felt the need. For fps type games, typically you want a higher refresh rate than 60mhz which is seldom found on 4k monitors so that it provides a smoother experience with the fast motion. THat means that if you get a 120mhz or 144mhz monitor u need to match it with 120fps or 144fps to get the full capability though and you can see quickly how someone might find themselves trying to beat out the bots to get a nvidia 3080 ect. For laptops though, you are paying alot of money to get close to a desktop equivalent in a laptop and that is going to create a much bigger thermal concern. Personally I love the Xe Max and how well it works with its iGPU partner. But by all means cram a 2080 into a laptop and when your intel turbo technology is throttling your cpu at 3ghz and doing extra work with the iGPU to render the final output to the display (Look up Nvidia Optimus or swithable graphics its horrible) and I am crusing at 4ghz+ with the same cpu by all means listen to the Dell guy above and go hand him more money.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the hardware on this system is not built for gaming. However, you can check the Dell's G-series system that is built for gaming: https://bit.ly/3lsiojm
