NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series
These GPUs deliver the ultimate performance for gamers and creators. They're powered by NVIDIA's 2nd Gen RTX Ampere architecture - with new Ray Tracing Cores, Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors for a massive leap in performance.

3erd Gen Tensor Cores
Tensor Cores enable mixed-precision computing, dynamically adapting calculations to accelerate throughput while preserving accuracy.

2nd Gen RT Cores
Ray tracing simulates light's actual behavior to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to the most visually intense games.

NVIDIA DLSS
Groundbreaking AI rendering boosts frame rates with uncompromised image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs.

5th Gen AeroBlade 3D Fan Technology
Our 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D Fan Technology delivers some of the most powerful airflow made possible in a laptop - while providing essential cooling to other critical components via Vortex Flow Optimization, the PowerGem, and strategically placed intakes, exhausts, and heat pipes.

Bionic Design
Inspired by silent, powerful flight mechanics examined in animals, we gave our fans a serrated edge, allowing more air to pass through.

Ultra-Thin Blades
Each of the 89 bionic blades is just 0.08mm thick and all-metal with a stabilizing dual indent groove.

Wind Guide
Designed to redirect airflow exactly where intended and further stabilize the fan at high speeds - reducing turbulence and noise.

Vortex Flow
We optimized the laptop's airflow through strategically placed thermal foam to increase overall cooling and reduce the device's skin temperature.

PowerGem
Thanks to this unique approach, the laptop can quickly disperse heat from the processor at a greater rate than other alternatives.

See Things Differently
Treat your eyes to a new reality with the 4K Mini LED 120Hz display. HDR comes alive as the backlighting method makes it possible to reach VESA's DisplayHDR 1000 specification. Games, movies, and whatever's on-screen - all benefit from OLED-like levels of contrast and brightness.

• 4K UHD 17.3-inch
• 512 Zones Dynamic Backlight
• 120HZ / 3 MS Refresh / Response
• DisplayHDR 1000 DCI-P3 100%
