GTX 1070 (Laptop) or RTX 2070 (Laptop) - What should I buy?!

[masterdarkside8876]

Hello there.

Im in a big dilema.

In my country (Portugal) I have alote problems with what "GPU" as laptop should I choose.

 

A GTX 1070 costs about 1600€ (1500$) and a RTX 2070 costs about 2100€ (2000$) so, both have almost same specs (CPU, RAM, etc etc) most cases like MSI doesnt change much or Lenovo (are quite expensive).

 

The RTX 2060 is less perfomance then a GTX 1070 (right?) in a laptop question.

Even seeing Notebookcheck I dont get a close conclusion what to buy. I dont care about ray trace, I mostly play even locked to 60 FPS to not force to much temps in the laptops. So what u would choose, models, etc etc?

 

Thanks alote for ur help!

I'd choose the 1070 because it runs high frames and is cheaper and I run amazing frames with it

@masterdarkside8876 What other specs are they? I've seen a few GTX1080 laptops for around the $1700USD range and that is what i would buy!

Since the 10 series notebook GPUs, Nvidia mobile GPUs are as good as the desktop counterparts (as long as cooling doesn't make it thermal throttle). 
The 2060 is supposed to be as good or better than a 1070Ti, which is slightly better than a 1070. If you want pure performance, the 2060 is theoretically better; but you have to factor in cooling, the 2060 might run hotter and could have more issues with thermal throttling compared to the 1070.

Well it comes with a i7 8750H with a single channel of 16GB DDR4 2666MHz and 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD, all setups are 17,3" with FHD panel (some are no IPS other are).

In my country all 1080s are not anymore at sell so even if they were they would go over 2000$ belive me!

I play some old games like BF4 for MP but new games to (mostly for singleplayer).

Resolution its only 1080p and it will be. Ofc if i choose a GTX 1070 I will get space  for a more 16GB (stick) of ram since it comes with a single channel in all laptops that I can find!

Well the RTX 2060 Laptop is as fast as a 1070TI in a Desktop?! Is that even possible?

I see alote underperfomance of the 2060 Laptop vs 1070 Laptop. Can it be?!
