Looking at a laptop that says “Rtx 4060” I have no idea what either of those mean, is that a lot of Rtx or a little?

    Ok since you seem to know a lot about rtx, side question how does an rtx card make the graphics better if the laptop has a set number of pixels? And follow up, if I switch out the rtx 4060 for a 4080 will that improve the graphics or do I need a screen with more pixels?

      Better textures, view distance is farther, the environment may have more plant life and other foliage, water can look better, etc.

      Also fps which is how many frames are created in a second. 30fps was standard for old consoles but PS5 made 60fps the new standard. It makes movement look smooth instead of jittery or like a slideshow.

      Stuff like that.

      My 3070ti can play 1440p resolution with 60fps max settings pretty easy. I know XX60 cards are a good bit weaker and XX50 cards are trash.

      I would go with 4070 just to be future proof. But 4060 may work at 1080. Should be able to 1080/60 with high settings and 1080/30 max settings for sure. The rest depends on how intensive the game is.

      So 4060 will run all the games you want now. 4070 will run all the games really well, the best they can on your resolution, and future games for a few years without issues.
