Nice vid. On a side note; what do you think of their graphics, and the gameplay?

EDIT: Just noted;

"Fallout 4 AMD Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X 4GB Benchmark,

Fallout 4 Intel i7 4770k Benchmark"?

You said these benchmarks are on a GS40 Phantom though?

Sorry, wrong link. I've fixed it now.

 

As for your question, GTX 970M is a decent GPU for playing modern games, the performance is equivalent to GTX 960, more or less.

Are you comfortable with those temps? They're pretty high, especially for a laptop.

Some laptops get higher than that and still operate fine.

Personally, I am not comfortable with that. Some says it's normal and pretty low compare to other but still, 80c+ is terrifying. :mellow:

If I had a laptop, I'd be fine with those temperatures.  Laptops are designed to adequately cool themselves to what their engineers deem an acceptable limit while running full bore as long as the computer is on a hard, flat, and stable surface.  No pillows, legs, couches, carpets, etc.  

 

I'd be more worried about playing a game with a trackpad.  :mellow:

Runs great and the temps aren't to bad. Hows the noise when under full load?

 

Also the gpu temp is really good for being in a laptop, where it has very little airflow. I wouldn't worry about 80C + for temps too much. My current gtx 780ti reaches the same temps about 82C under load. It is in an Fractal Design Define R4 so not the best airflow but still better than a laptop I would say lol. So don't worry to much about those temps.
