Razer Blade Stealth graphics card match?

[myselfolli]

So I am looking to buy the Razer Blade Stealth in the near(ish) future, and since I enjoy gaming from time to time, I do plan to pick up the Core as well. As for my question: Which discrete graphics card would you suggest? I of course don't want it to be bottlenecked by the Blade, but at the same time I do want to get a well performing (and preferrably sick looking) card. And suggestions?

[myselfolli]

And yes I know getting the two is kinda dumb, but I like it.

Doesnt the blade stealth have a 1060?

Nope, the blade stealth is an ultrabook, it only has Intel integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 620) out of the box. Which is why the core exists

I heard the new one has a 1060. Well then an RX 480 8G is pretty good. 1070 is another very good option.

What you are thinking of is the Razer Blade (notice the missing stealth). Hooray for razers naming schemes ^^

And thanks for the suggestions!

Please for the love of god do NOT BUY the Blade Stealth if you want any CPU performance at all. It bottlenecks the shit out of a 1060 or a 1070. 

Get yourself a Alienware 13 and the graphics amp, it's got a better quad-core processor and a custom graphics port that iirc shares a proper PCI-E X4 3 and 460W of power

don't do it. You would be lucky if you even get 50% of the performance of a 480 or 1060, and then we have all the QC problems that razer has with their laptops or better known as mobile stoves.

You opened your Blade to replace the thermal compound?

Oh no, we can't accept your unit because it has been tampered with.

I talked to their support for two HOURS, just to make them understand what was wrong with their own laptop.... I hate their support so much

I owned a Razer Naga Hex in Red once. Mouse1 broke, so I contacted support. They wanted me to ship it back, and I couldn't since it was $30+. So they said 'cut the cable off, and take a pic with your case number'. I did. 'Those photos look to be faked. Request denied.'

 

I smashed that piece of shit into pieces.

I enjoy not burning my money too. Also. Just don't. If you want a good eGPU laptop there are PLENTY of choices around that price point. a Dell Outlet E5480 is one excellent choice. Also the core is overpriced. Just buy an Akitio node.
