Gtx 970m Now or Wait for 1070m?

[Awkward Turtle]

I'am able to get a gigabyte P35W v5 with a 970m now but I have a feeling that nvidia will release their mobile lineup of pascal gpus soon. Would it be worth waiting a couple months or bite the bullet and buy it now. Also do you think the performance leap from 970m - 1070m would be worth the obvious price hike (cause nvidia) would it be wise to wait.

I would suggest waiting another couple months and see where things go but since you're in Australia a giant spider or something might get you before then . The performance increase between the 970 and 1070 would definitely be worth it but of course that's just speculation until we see real benchmarks.

Answer this question;

 

Do you need it right now? If you do then buy it, if not then I personally would wait.

Remember that the 1070m has a 10W higher TDP than the 980m. Don't expect the 1070m in any laptop remotely portable.

" The mobile Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 is a graphics card for high end laptops (upcoming). It is based on the Pascal architecture and manufactured in 16 nm FinFET at TSMC. The GPU is using the smaller GP106 chip. Compared to the desktop version of the GTX 1060, the laptop version offers the same amount of shaders but slightly lower clock rates. The TDP should also be lower, laptop manufacturer currently talk about a 10 Watts higher TDP than the old GTX 970M (predecessor). It should be launched in August 2016.  "

 

" Instead of the new GDDR5X, the GTX 1070 uses slower GDDR5 graphics memory - but still 8 GB. The TDP is also reduced and rumored to be 10 Watts higher than the predecessor, the GTX 980M."

 

(I hope notebookcheck is wrong btw)
