The increasing amount of new blockbuster games featuring ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS being released shows that things are progressing really well and it’s definitely worth considering the upgrade now if you’ve finally decided to take a dive into the world of games with ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS. With more game developers now implementing DXR and NVIDIA DLSS on their games, you can definitely expect to see more ray tracing enabled games in the future.
With the most recent titles like Watch Dogs: Legion, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the long-awaited Cyberpunk 2077 now available, and the holiday season just around the corner, it’s definitely a great time to consider for an upgrade if you’re still rocking on a machine powered by the previous generation GTX 10 series GPUs. If you’re more of a gamer that prefers to game anywhere flexibly with a gaming laptop, you might want to check out the ongoing NVIDIA Holiday promotion and save up to RM 2000 on selected RTX gaming laptops.
In case if you missed this, ASUS Malaysia and MSI Malaysia are currently having a limited-time deal for their GeForce RTX gaming laptops for the holiday season and we’ve prepared a list of the models that are on discount for easier navigation.
