Because maybe size and weight are more important than absolute performance to some people? Why do people spend $200 more for a MacBook Air when they can get a Dell XPS 13 with the same, if not better, specs? It's not like they need macOS for anything. I have a blog!

I gotz bleeds, it doesn't really bother me, but if your paying premium you should receive perfection imo. |EVGA 850 P2| |1440p PG279Q| |X570 Aorus Extreme| |Ryzen 9 3950x WC| |FE 2080Ti WC| |TridentZ Neo 64GB| |Samsung 970 EVO M.2 1TB x3| |Logitech G900| |K70 Cherry MX Speed| |Logitech Z906 | |HD650| |CaseLabs SMA8 (one of the last ones made)| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don't get a lighter or smaller notebook from that. Your own 15" laptop might say 1080 instead of 1070, the performance, size and weight remains the same. It's probably just more expensive. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe you're considering the weight of the cooling solution there. A top GPU massively downclocked won't need as much, or as aggressive cooling. That said, I'm with you. Loosing that much performance is, and always has been a crap deal for the consumer. The mobile GPU shenanigans don't seem to have changed one bit. Craptops and beast cabinets at home still the best way to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, significantly downclocking a 1080 could lead to lower temps/power consumption than a 1060 clocked higher. So, from a value standpoint it obviously doesn't make sense, but it could theoretically be the only way to get a certain level of power within a certain temperature/power threshold. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case as I don't know at what clockspeeds Pascal is most/least efficient.

If that's the case, I'm all for it, but then I would like another naming scheme and a proper pricing. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it would still be using a GTX1080 chip and thus the it would cost as much as a normal clocked 1080. And it is still using a 1080, so a 1080 is the appropriate name.

The ROG Zyphirilililikilhdjdhxj will coast 2699usd for the gtx1080 model and not be louder than 40DBa, which fits in what nvidia said about MaxQ, having a 40Dba limit. (source HWC video about the rog zephyudjfjfjdb) I don't know, I'm thorn about this. I really don't like the announcement of cool stuff where there are no pre-done reviews released along side it. Maybe I'm just to antsi pants about tech. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
