If you can, go for the 1080. I bought the G1 gaming 1080 a few months ago and my experience has been weird. I haven't used any other brand GPUs so this may be the usual experience. First the aorus(?) software failed on me, the lights on the GPU wouldn't change. After much research I found another application to change colors and fan curves etc for Gigabyte cards and whenever I try to open that my PC just lags like it is going to crash. This is persistent and frankly I don't care because I rarely open that thing anyways. Another weird thing is that the card has fan stop like many other cards but when the PC is idling or is under very light load the fans on the GPU make really weird noises. They stop and they start running again and they make a noise like the fan is hitting a small cable. This is very annoying and I changed the fan curve as well as case fans to help keep the GPU more stable. Another thing is that I heard what apparently was coil whine (I got my answer here) while playing rise of nations but I've tried to max the GPU in The Division, BF1 and a few other games and I've never heard of it.
 
Also I am using a 1080p panel and I get that sweet sweet 144fps in most of the games at the highest settings so I am pleased.
 
I hope you enjoy your card and you two have a good time together.

I think your best option is to build a new desktop but keep your current GPU and then buy a bottom tier laptop with decent battery life
 
"premium" laptops won't get you the speed of your current desktop. plus if all you need is something to type on a cheap laptop will do, use your desktop for any heavy workloads
 
 

This is cringe worthy.

This is like patent trolling, but a billion times funnier because they don't have a chance in hell. Bwhahahahahaha!

EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.
