When adding external displays into the equation, nearly every game we tested showed a significant improvement in frame rates at 4K. Some supported titles, such as The Witcher 3, scored 35% (1080p) to 43% (4k) better than the single card Schenker XMG U727 2017, while other games provide near identical performance between the two models e.g., Resident Evil 7. Unfortunately, gaming performance doesn’t scale as well as synthetic benchmarks. It achieves this score with two Pascal based GTX 1080s in SLI configuration, which posts results 75 - 90% higher than competitors with a single GTX 1080. Winner: The MSI GT83VR 7RF Titan SLI (Score: 84%) squeaks slightly ahead of its closest competitor with a massive Fire Strike score of 22192. Those who are affected should just keep the screen brightness above 15%, something which should be reasonably easy given the disappointing 262-nit maximum brightness. PWM is present at brightness levels below 15%, but at 25000 Hz the rate of flickering is high enough that only the most sensitive will notice any side effects. The screen is surprisingly color accurate for a TN panel, with a low black level, excellent DeltaE of 0.64 for grey and 1.36 for colors, and sRGB/AdobeRGB ratings of 100%/77% that bests many IPS panels. The inbuilt support for Nvidia’s G-Sync technology will help reduce visual tearing as the framerate fluctuates, and this 120 Hz display will also provide smooth movement in fast-paced scenes. Additionally, the grey-to-grey time of 11.6 ms is suitably low, and together these two figures combine to make it difficult to detect any slow-to-change pixels. The black-to-white response time of 6.8 ms isn’t actually the second fastest after the Alienware 13, but it is close.

Runner-up: The MSI GT75VR 7RF Titan Pro (Score 87%) is a hulking beast of a notebook that is equipped with a 17.3-inch 1080p 120 Hz TN panel with G-Sync support.

This flickering is similar to competing laptops such as the Razer Blade 2017 and Aorus X3 Plus V7, but those two don’t have the lightning fast response time to redeem themselves. The only real downside of this OLED screen is the presence of PWM at 240 Hz through all brightness levels, which is low enough that those who are sensitive to PWM flicker are likely to be affected.

This screen produced rich, pleasing colors with true inky blacks and an sRGB rating of 97% and AdobeRGB of 78%. The 310-nit brightness is decent and is enough to overcome the glossy surface on the screen when indoors, but it struggles outdoors. Those who like fast-paced games will drool over the 2.8 ms (1.2 ms rise, 1.6 ms fall) black-to-white response time, which makes pixel ghosting a thing of the past. When deciding between TN or IPS panels on gaming laptops, there are positives and negatives for each that must be considered, but the newer OLED technology is better suited for gaming with their fast response and punchy colors. Winner: The Alienware 13 R3 (Score: 88%) can be configured with a beautiful 13.3-inch 1440p OLED display that is stunning to look at.

This list is part of a series of holiday buying guides. Price isn't a limiting factor here for budget models, be sure to check out our Top 5 Budget Gaming Laptops for Late 2017, which contains some great options. Any specific subcategory requirements are listed in each section. To reduce the list, we decided that any candidates needed a review from within the last 12 months, a modern Intel Kaby Lake, Kaby Lake-R, Coffee Lake, or AMD Ryzen processor, and an Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580 or higher graphics card. We have pulled the top 10 gaming notebooks from our database based on the overall NotebookCheck score and identified our top picks for portability, display, gaming performance, battery life, and value. With Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and New Years sales, the last two months of the year are a great time to snag yourself a bargain on a new notebook. The designs themselves might typically be more old-fashioned or traditional than the sleek ultra-slim devices we often see today, but the idea that something that is still quite compact can pack as much performance as a gaming desktop is impressive. Gaming laptops are one of the most exciting areas of notebook development.
