If 120 frames-per-second displayed on the screen of your gaming laptop is twice better than 60 frames-per-second, then surely eight times as many frames must be eight times better do you think? That's the thinking behind the latest super high-refresh rate panels that are available on Alienware gaming laptops. The Dell subsidiary now sells its M17 R5 17-inch laptops as well as x17R2 17-inch laptops that feature brand new panels. It is claimed to be the fastest in industry.
While the panels are able to display 1080p resolution with this high-resolution speed of refresh, it's probably for the best. You'll have to run a game that can actually output nearly 500 frames-per-second for you to experience the benefits - switch off ray-tracing, and opt for Minecraft-grade textures, I suppose. The new panel has a 3ms response rate and is compatible with both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync dependent on the GPU configuration. The upgrade is an extra $300 over the base 165Hz screen, which works out to 95 cents per hertz.
