Why are there no laptops with 1080 Tis?

[RollTime]

My first guess would be cooling, but I've seen plenty of laptops with dual 1080s...

Is it that those heat sources are more spread out?

 

I'm stumped here.

No 1080ti MXM card.

Some people just want to see the world burn...

The same reason there aren't any laptops with i9-7980XE's.

Or rather their heat pipes.

Because the laptop would have to be 2-3 inches thick to stay below "boil your testicles" temperatures. And sound like a leaf blower.

Nvidia does not offer a 1080 ti for mobile, likely due to lack of demand. i do not believe it is due to cooling, like you say there are some(plenty is a big word) dual 1080 systems out there. the market for laptops that large and powerful is tiny, the time and money nvidia would have to invest to add an extra product to there mobile line of gpu's is too high for such low demand. i'm sure if enough companies where interested nvidia would sell one.

That's true. Good points.

I was joking above, of course... but still...

 

A gtx1080ti consumes up to 250 watts.

 

nVidia only offers gtx 1070 max-q or something like that which is capped at 110 watts or thereabouts.  It's not even full gtx 1070, it's a binned chip with binned memory and with aggressive frequency adjustments to keep it below ~ 110w  - the regular gtx 1070 goes up to 150w

 

There's an article here which says there's a gtx 1080 max-q and regular gtx 1080 laptop : https://www.notebookcheck.net/Opinion-Nvidia-s-Max-Q-Maximum-efficiency-minimum-performance.232038.0.html

 

Laptop	GTX 1080	GTX 1080 Max-Q Founders Edition
Base Clock (MHz)	1556	1101 - 1290	1607
Boost Clock (MHz)	1733	1278 - 1468	1733
TGP (Total Graphics Power, W)	150 - 200	90 - 110	180

 

last column is regular gtx 1080

 

so any laptop with a gtx 1080ti would need two big power bricks, let's say 2 x 180-210w laptop adapters and it would be heavy because it needs cooling... so what's the point?

What's the point? What's the point? Clearly you haven't met Acer.

I guess you haven't meet P870TM with 8700k and 1080 SLI

That's a portable desktop. Majority of people can't use it in there lap.

Never talked about how good it was, simply was making a point about how sometimes manufacturers don’t need a reason.

I don't think you can even call it a laptop 

 

It's more of a foldable desktop. It's too big, clunky and heavy

Technically it is both of those things... technically...

Well, the 21X is really stretching that meaning.

 

It's portable.......barely

But still! Portable! 

More so than a tower, anyway.

Probably.

 

I wouldn't carry one though.

That's true. But the point still stands that this is easier to carry around than even an ITX tower.
