Napkin math based on the analysis of some random jackass anyway. yeah, I would rather AMD just put an FPS counter, is it that bad that you cant show VEGA performance on an AMD sponsored game...

So there's a lot of sacrifices being made here. But still, they managed to get the GeForce 10 series to work in both laptops and desktops without much in the way of a performance difference. So maybe unicorns do exist. I did a bunch of reading about Max-Q and im really sad about the results. What i managed to gather from all the informations postet on tech sites: Performance: Max-Q GTX1080 = Laptop GTX1070 Max-Q GTX1070 = Bit over Laptop GTX1060 Max-Q GTX1060 = 20% slower than Laptop GTX1060 (GTX1050Ti level?) Don't really see the benefit of droping more money on a Max-Q GTX1080 if you can get a GTX1070 for much less money. I was hoping to see identical performance by reduced thermals and noise. I'm not due for a system update at all, but new tech is exciting and gives me an idea for a future rig. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that AMD doesn't want to leak everything, but they're playing things so close to the vest when right now is when they need to be building up the hype. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/449522-smoking-barrels-ltts-unnofficial-gun-club/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built the hype back in January (remember to make some noise? lol). That hypetrain has long passed. Ye ole' train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 17" gaming laptop. It was kind of cumbersome to lug around after a while. So I settled on Dell's Inspiron 15 7000 series. I have a blog!

Industry sources - couple with AMD in Canada, and some press on the floor at Computex. Basically the rumors are pointing in right direction.

If you are looking for most up to date it far better to head over to New sub forums. I will updating the whole post way before Saturday (UTC+10:00), most likely Friday afternoon. Magical Pineapples
