Black Myth: Wukong recently added a benchmarking tool before its official release on August 20, and to say that it is an intensive title would be a massive understatement because it can bring the most powerful GPUs to their knees at the highest settings if there is no upscaling involved. Thankfully, the RTX 4080 running in the GIGABYTE AORUS 17H is more than capable of handling the title at the highest ‘Cinematic’ settings preset by enabling DLSS and Frame Generation, both of which technologies exclusive to the RTX 4000 series.
Best of all, the gaming laptop has been discounted by $400 on Amazon, bringing its price down to $1,799, making it an exceptional deal because every other RTX 4080-powered machine listed on Amazon crosses the $2,200 threshold. The 17.3-inch portable powerhouse is equipped with a 14-core Intel Core i7-13700H, along with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD to deliver a combination of unrivaled gaming laptop performance and ultra-responsiveness. About the only gripe we have with the GIGABYTE AORUS 17H is that it features a 1080p display.
Sure, it supports up to a 360Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for esports titles, but with the hardware it is packing, a 1440p panel would have been the preferred choice. Thankfully, you can remedy this by purchasing a QHD, high refresh rate gaming monitor, or spending a little more and getting the GIGABYTE AORUS 17X for $2,199, which has received a $300 discount on Amazon. The AORUS 17X display has a 2560 x 1440 resolution that refreshes up to 240Hz, so if you can expand your budget a little bit, that will be great.
However, if you are looking for the best deal, the GIGABYTE AORUS 17H offers incredible value for the money, and given that there will be more mega-intensive games like Black Myth: Wukong coming out in the future, this RTX 4080-powered gaming laptop will also futureproof you.
