Thank you Debiruman for your informative reply. Still I have a question whether i7-9700K is good enough avoiding huge thermal throttling or what would be the real benefit to have the i9-9900K instead. But I am more interested to know how do you control the processor to run at the speed you want...

Debiruman, can you tell me which temperatures you reach while gaming? Do you have any extra cooling device or system?

Thank you for your explanations, they are very useful and now I know that a 9th generation CPU performs better than 4th generation CPU with the same frequency. I ask you patience because I do not have a computing background, just a chemical engineer who likes gaming sometimes. I am also worried...

Total War games demands single core power. The reason is that most of them are not suited to use multicore, but just only 1 core effectively. There are complains everywhere, people who have desktops with GPU GTX 1080 can't run Attila Total War decently because they suffer fps drops to 20 or even...

Will i7-9700K and i7-8700K do better than i9-9900K as for thermal throttling? What about RTX 2070 vs RTX 2080 in the same respect? If you don't mind explain me... why do you need such powerful laptop?

Thank you for your explanation. Just out of curiosity, a 330W adaptor would be enough to power a i9-9900K and RTX 2080? If I would be willing to spend the money, which problems would I find with such CPU and GPU?

But is the only tool I have to set up comparisons bewteen CPU performance...

Interesting fact. Branded laptops with desktop CPUs are insanely expensive (for example, Asus and MSI). I noticed that some Alienware are not so expensive, but I am not willing to spend 4000€ or 5000€ for a desktop CPU in a laptop, is too much. Other customizable laptops brands are more...

Thank you for your support. With CPU i7-9700K and GPU RTX 2070 will I need 2 x 330W AC adaptor?

Hi, Scootster, do you think that RAM 16GB DDR4 3000 MHz makes the difference against RAM 16GB DDR4 2666 MHz?

i7-8750H is not enough to power Attila, Rome 2 and Thrones of Britannia. I have seen benchmarks in Attila Total War where i7-4770K paired with top GTX cards barely reach 40 fps. According to UserBenchmark i7-8750H is just 8% better than i7-4770K. Total War games are very CPU intensive dependent...

In that case my budget is under 2500€, what is the most powerful laptop I can purchase under 2500€?

I have worked in 2 different setups for Octane VI laptop to play Total War games: Empire, Napoleon, Shogun 2, Rome 2, Attila, Thrones of Britannia, Three Kingdoms. Which one would you think is the best considering CPU, GPU, Hard Drive, RAM? I have a budget up to 2500€ (2200 GBP) Setup 1: CPU...

I am interested in i7-9700K, what about temperatures? Octane VI chasis and cooling would be enough to deal with i7-9700K temperatures? I don't have in mind overclocking unless would be really necessary, I am not so fussy with gameplay, I am looking for stability not fps high numbers, I can live...

I have some fps drops in certain situations and I don't really know if is the CPU or GPU. Try to play 3v3 full stack armies in a similar CPU than mine and you will see that Empire Total War will struggle. The fps massive drops during sieges is another issue. I tried to find explanations, I think...

That's my concern... i7-8750H wouldn't be too weak for Total War games? I mostly play Empire, Napoleon, Shogun 2 but I also play Rome 2, Attila and I would be interested in Thrones of Britannia or 3 Kingdoms. In my experience Empire Total War is one of the worst optimized Total War games ever...

Hi, My name is Jorge, from Spain. Because I am living far from home I need a laptop and I can't have a desktop computer due to mobility. Currently I have a gaming laptop Alienware 17 R3 from 2016 and I am very happy with it, but I want a more powerful computer. I want to be clear from the...
