Abstract

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips kicked off Microsoft's Copilot+ PC era with long life and surprisingly competitive performance, only to be rivaled by Intel's Macbook-killing Lunar Lake chips months later. On top of best-in-class ray-tracing performance, Nvidia's also best-in-class software features (such as DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction (fave. co/49w67Ev), dual AVI encoders, and Nvidia Reflex, a must-have in competitive shooters) make the RTX 4070 Super shine bright in the most competitive segment of the graphics card market. There are so many factors to consider such as privacy, ease of use, server network size, unblocking capabilities, and speed. The 34-inch curved display stands out among a sea of other QD-OLED competitors by boasting a higher refresh rate (up to 240Hz), strong HDR performance, and an excellent range of connectivity, including the ability to charge a laptop or phone over USB-C.
