Graphics with the Ampere architecture – that is, the GeForce RTX 30 series models – promise, above all, dramatically higher performance. “After the huge interest in our Nvidia Ampere desktop architecture, it is now coming to the world’s most powerful laptops,” said Kaustubh Sanghani, vice president and general manager of GeForce in Nvidia, at CES.

Specifically, three different designs will appear on store shelves. Models with the GeForce RTX 3060 offer 90 frames per second in the latest games with detail set to ultra and 1080p resolution. The prices of laptops will start at CZK 30,999, while offering higher performance than previous models with the GeForce 2080 SUPER, whose price was more than doubled.

The gold middle class will be the GeForce RTX 3070 cards, which are designed to play at 1440p, also at 90 frames per second and at ultra settings. Potential interested parties can count on a price tag of CZK 41,999.

The highlight of the offer will be the GeForce RTX 3080. The card will bring up to 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and enable the production of the most powerful laptops for gamers and content creators. When played in 1440p and ultra detail it offers more than 100 frames per second. However, the price of laptops with this card will start at CZK 61,999.

The first such machines should appear on store shelves as early as January 26.

The first will be laptops, then desktops
The planned availability is quite interesting – especially with the cheapest model GeForce RTX 3060. This means that laptops with this new graphics will appear on store shelves before it happens with classic desktop computers.

This is practically never the custom, Nvidia usually prefers desktop owners for new models. But the GeForce RTX 3060 will not come to desktops until the end of February. This step also shows how more important gaming laptops are from year to year and how their popularity is constantly growing.
