Not sure if you're being sarcastic haha, it may run at ultra in a year but definitely not comfortable framerate. This will easily be obsolete in 2 years’ time.
What game are you refering to? Most games now are being run off existing platforms, so all they work on is optimisation, not creating a new source code.
Probably the most taxing game is Witcher 3 which is 3 years old. Anything based on that platform may get taxing.
Gaming notebooks generally expect 3 years of good frame rates.
But define comfortable? Anything over 60fps is comfortable to me because my eyes dont distinguish anything over 50fps, some people can, some are placebo.
But the real point is, what do you expect, a graphics card that doesnt exist right now, you cant buy anything better than the 1080.......
Unless you are on about notebooks vs PC and dont understand notebook gaming, which I can understand, for most it doesnt make sense, but there is definitely a use case there for traveling gamers.
For me, I would personally love the Alienware 13 1440p touch OLED HDR 2018. I dont play anything a gtx1060 cant run at native 1440p. In fact something like LoL is going to be well into 150fps. Or Civ 6 which has always been very CPU intensive.
That OLED is like nothing else, well it is currently the only option. Its not cheap but $3k you can get 16G ram and 512GB NVME. And any game on ultra given the OLED looks, mind blowing.
Then there is the EDR implementation just to make things look even better for Netflix, Prime, YOutube HDR watches, HDR has a bigger impact on IQ than say 4k for movies, clearly both together in OLED on a portable notebook would be nice, but dreams are free. 1440p is the sweet spot anyway for notebooks imo, I think 4k is over kill and its more the quality of the 4k that makes the difference, i dont think the same 1440p quality disply would look any better at 4k display on a notebook.
