1650 with better cpu or 1660 ti with worse cpu ?

[Skellter]

So my friend wants to buy a laptop. And he doesn't know if he should take an i7-9750H ,16 gb of ram and 1650  or i5-9300H , 8 gb ram with 1660 ti on it. They are almost at the same price. I guess the ram doesn't matter that much cause you can just buy more ram and that's it

Depends on what he Needs it for. 1660 ti will be better in gaming (better GPU) and 9750H (2 more cores) will be better at anything else. He should really take a look if the newer ryzen 4000 Laptops fit in his Budget as they are flat out better (and mostly cheaper) than the Intel parts right now.

yep as @Stahlmann98 said ryzen laptops will most likely have a better value than either of those.

For gaming better GPU is always better.

What kind of games do you plan on gaming?

 

Overall, the choice weighting towards gpu is better for gaming, but not always. Civilization for instead is highly cpu intensive

AAA games. I guess gpu cause 1660 ti is way better than 1650

Look into ryzen laptops 

More cores and a better ipc 

If your limited by these options a 9300h with a gpu with a bigger frame buffer is always better

I'd say so yeah. On some titles there might be a slight cpu bottleneck, but the i5-9300H isn't a bad cpu to begin with.
