[Dhruv-Taara]

Our anniversary is coming soon and I want to gift a gaming laptop to Dhruv. The budget for his desired laptop is too high with one added feature of ray tracing. Is there a way to optimize a gaming laptop for ray tracing in this world?

Use the most advanced GPU (RTX 40 series), activate DLSS or FSR to improve performance, keep your drivers current, and turn down visual settings that are not needed to keep the frame rate stable.

If you want the greatest ray tracing experience in 2025, balance is the keyword. Ensure your PC has a modern graphics card, plus plenty of memory and is all running the latest drivers. Use something like DLSS or FSR to increase performance without losing quality. From settings tweaks to closing background apps and stunning visuals without the slowdowns, and more.

To optimize a gaming PC for ray tracing in 2025, ensure you're using a high-end GPU like an NVIDIA RTX 40-series or AMD RX 7000-series with updated drivers. Enable DLSS 3 or FSR 3 to boost performance without losing much visual quality. Close background apps, set your game settings to balance quality and performance, and enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows. Also, make sure your CPU and RAM aren’t bottlenecking performance and that your cooling system keeps temps in check during heavy loads.
