8:49 in. Shows what you can do when bypassing iGPU. Beating 150W + 3080s. I have this laptop. It's great Smilie

Even without bypassing iGPU, it performs well (can see numbers in full review).

the most powerful laptop for any price around it, and I think this is the model that fixed the liquid metal issues of the first model

this should be burning

Completely different ballpark. 6800M falls in between 3070 and 3080. Some games, with external monitor (to bypass iGPU), this can beat a 3080.

R9 also much faster processor...

I'd go for open box for $980 over acer nitro for $725.

Ram good? Or isn't the sub par stuff that affects the gaming performance I've been hearing about?

Thanks for the tip. Looks like there are more "Excellent" units for $980 under "buying options."

I have the FHD version of this incredible laptop, well built with vapor chamber cooling solution, stunning display, long lasting battery life and nice little speakers, the $1K range 680M integrated graphics found nowadays is a childs toy compared to this, this one is much much more powerful easily comparable to a 6600XT desktop class GPU on the go, 16GB (2X8 ram) is plenty for most users unless you really need to expand your RAM also make sure you get certified RAM for this laptop as other kits may work "nicely" but it will eat up your battery life much quicker than normal (in my experience).

From what I'm seeing, it's luck of the draw. Supposed to come with the faster RAM, but some people ended up having to replace them.

Are there any disadvantages of Radeon GPUs compared to Nividia RTX for 3D model rendering?

Asking because I have heard hardware acceleration on some video editing softwares like premiere pro work better on Nividia.

Is this a BF level deal or should I wait if I don't need before Christmas?
