i7-8760H + GTX 1070 Max-Q vs i7-9750H + RTX 2070 Max-Q?

[Battousai1]

Hi guys! I am currently deciding on what to get. Although, I may already have an answer, I would like to hear your opinions first to have a better decision.

I am choosing between an i7-8750H + GTX 1070 Max-Q vs i7-9750H + RTX 2070 Max-Q.

The price difference between the two is big, the RTX version is on average $500-$700 more expensive but the performance difference is not that big.

I am leaning on getting the i7-8750H + GTX 1070 as it is more budget friendly.

What are your thoughts?

I don't know about the GPU side of things, but I fully support the CPU side, as the 9750h has minimal performance gain over the 8750h

The 2070 max q isnt that great it even loses against a 1070 mobile (not max q ) and thats kinda sad

The 9750H is only 5% faster than the 8750H on average. The 2070MQ is not that spectacular either but neither is the 1070MQ so I'd get the 1070 and save money.

What model laptop btw?

[Battousai1]

Thanks guys for the replies. I am referring to the Zephyrus S.

Open to other options?

I might consider other option but so far the size and weight are crucial factors.

Where are you from? Budget? Preferred max weight and min battery life?

i7-8750H - 6C12T, 2.2 GHz base, 4.1 GHz boost, 9 MB cache, 14 nm, UHD Graphics 630 (350–1100 MHz), 45 W
i7-9750H - 6C12T, 2.6 GHz base, 4.5 GHz boost, 12 MB cache, 14 nm, UHD Graphics 630 (350–1100 MHz), 45 W

 

The newer of the two CPUs is roughly 10% faster.

 

The RTX 2070 Max-Q is roughly 20% faster than the GTX 1070 Max-Q.

 

Hope that helps.

Would the price difference justify the performance gains for both?

Both CPUs will run games fine so it depends on the extra price of the RTX laptop model.

 

The GPU is 20% faster - is the model 20% more expensive?

Thanks for the reply. The price difference is almost 40%. Do you think it is worth it?

It's like cars. You can pay 500% more to get a car that's 25% faster.

 

A £350 phone will be 80% as fast as a £1000 phone etc.

 

You pay out the nose for the very best but it's the only way you can get it.

The newer chip is not 10% faster. If you're looking at the base clock, then sure, but the chips never sit at base clock.

The 8750H sits at 3.3GHz at 55w across all cores and 3.9Ghz at 4c/8t

The 9750H sits at 3.4GHz at 55w across all cores and 4Ghz at 4c/8t

 

That's a 100MHz increase and you will not see any level of performance increase from it. It also runs hotter because all they did was increase the clockspeeds. Intel TDP doesn't even line up appropriately, because it's never actually sitting at 45w for power draw, it's always well above that.

Thanks! So would it be worth it to pay 40% more for an i7-9750H+RTX2070?

Still depends on model

 

Please answer my questions:

Please answer my questions:

Same model, Asus Zephyrus S, looks the same the only difference is the CPU+GPU combo and of course the price which the other one is 40% more expensive.

I'll ask you again, are you open to other models? Or you're set with this?
