GeForce GTX 1080 gets full fat GP104 GPU with 2560 CUDA Cores. Literally the only difference between the mobile and desktop parts is the base clock, which is ~50 MHz lower on mobile part. Apart from that, we get full 8GB GDDR5X memory clocked at 10 GHz.

The GTX 1070 gets more CUDA cores than desktop variant — 2048 CUDA Cores. The decision to increase the number of cores on laptop part was probably dictated by lower clocks, thus by increasing the number of CUDA cores, we still get similar performance.

Finally, the GTX 1060 has 1280 CUDA cores and 6GB GDDR5 memory. The mobile chip is simply lower clocked (1405/1670 MHz) than desktop variant.

Let me guess these can do module free G-Sync?

One thing in which NV's mobile GPUs are superior to their desktop counterparts.

 

[Zafir]

How many limbs will we need to sell to buy one of these notebooks?

Depends on where you live and where you buy from? Cheapest one I found in Europe was 1600 euros

Was a joke, really.

The Asus one seems to be £2600 in the UK.

lmao that's insane, you could get a whole PC and a decent 4k monitor for that price. (obv people who want a laptop don't care about desktop PCs)

 

[Wollan]

Would be cool if SurfaceBook 2 featured this.

It just proves they already have the ability to support Adaptive Sync on Desktop as well. But of course that would never happen.

The msi with 256GB ssd and 1tb HDD and 1070 and i7 6700hq is $1999.

This has been known for a while http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/198603-leaked-nvidia-driver-offers-taste-of-mobile-g-sync

 

[Triteon]

Hey these might be the best way to VR. Strap it to your back and you get rid of most of the wire problems.

 

[Kayant]

Yh doesn't look like they are changing that implementation anytime soon or are bothered to bring it to the desktop

 

[Visualante2]

Think we'll get an XPS 15 refresh soon? The 960 is often cited as the weak link in those systems.

 

[Bboy AJ]

I have a 2011 Macbook Air. I'd like one of these in a new Macbook. It would be nice. I'd never use it for gaming, though, since I already have a 1070 gaming desktop. But a 1060 would drive my Macbook well.

 

[Aztechnology]

I know. I just like to snarkily point it out because it blows as an Nvidia user. Sadly users just don't care enough or know enough to make it an issue.

 

[Tizoc]

Sorry fr asking this as i skimmed thru the op but how are these compared to a gtx 970m?

 

[anddo0]

A 1060 is 2x as fast.. Pretty much on the level of a desktop 980 to 980ti.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

coming from a MacBook pro. A 960m is awesome in my dell xps 15. 1060 would be cool but I'm happy with the 960m.

 

[Zedox]

Would be cool if SurfaceBook 2 featured this.

Yes. That plus getting Xbox Play Anywhere titles. Yea, I would be down for that.

 

[ethomaz]

Really cool they used the same card from Desktop to Mobile.

 

[YuriLowell]

Think we'll get an XPS 15 refresh soon? The 960 is often cited as the weak link in those systems.

Knowing Dell it willl be Q2 of next year and it will have QA problems out the ass for the first 4 months.

 

[L.O.R.D]

You mean like this?

This is a desktop btw.

 

[Widge]

Would be cool if SurfaceBook 2 featured this.

If they sort out the 1st gen quirks, put one of these in... I could very well jump on board.

 

[Lazaro]

Yes. That plus getting Xbox Play Anywhere titles. Yea, I would be down for that.

I wonder if Surface Book 2 will also get a customized GPU like the first one.

Haven't brought a laptop in ages, so I'm looking forward to what Surface Book 2 or the new OLED touch-bar MacBook's (if true) will offer.

 

[L.O.R.D]

I have a question,my friend has sager with GTX 880m SLI,can he replace them with the new GTX 1080? at least install one 1080 instead of two 880m.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Would be cool if SurfaceBook 2 featured this.

It will almost assuredly but not these specific cards. The SB uses a 940m, with a TDP of 30-33w. The 1060 is the lowest end card currently out in the Pascal family, and the mobile version is rated for 75w.

 

[gamma]

Did they change the names too cause Geforce Experience says Deforce DTX

 

[jedmaxwell]

Spoiler

I knew these new cards were coming but as I mostly use Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop (very little Premiere Pro or After Effects) and do my gaming on a PS4 and WiiU it's not so important. Still they are cracking new cards though!

 

[Neoxon]

I'm currently using a MacBook Pro (Mid-2014), but I'd love to upgrade to one of these just so I could bring a 4K/60fps/Ultra-settings Street Fighter V set-up to locals. That plus Overwatch at max settings.

Also, OP, you forgot Blunty's preview.

 

[darthkarki]

Digital Foundry got to do a bit of testing with these too:

This has me incredibly excited:

At a press event last week, journalists were given access to a range of laptops from virtually every major vendor, but the surprise package was a new Razer Blade 14, featuring a Core i7 quad-core processor backed by GTX 1060. It was playing host to Doom 2016, where it was running at 1080p on ultra settings at well over 60fps. It wasn't the most powerful laptop at the event - far from it - but it's first time that we've seen GPU power that comprehensively beats the current-gen consoles contained within a relatively small and thin laptop. The Razer Blade 14's form factor looked unchanged from existing models, which are comparable to a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro.

the remarkable reality is a GTX 1060-equipped gaming laptop offers more GPU power than the upcoming PlayStation Neo. Now that's food for thought.

 

[Kareha]

lmao that's insane, you could get a whole PC and a decent 4k monitor for that price. (obv people who want a laptop don't care about desktop PCs)

I'll never understand why people say just get a desktop to people looking at gaming laptops. They're probably know this but a desktop takes up a lot of space, space some people don't have, hence looking at laptops.

Also, £2600 seems reasonable to me and I'm not rich. Gaming laptops are expensive and always will be.

 

[Nerdkiller]

PC Specialist offering a decently speced 1080 laptop for €2,500...sounds good to me.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Great performance for laptops, shame about the price though.

 

[KKRT00]

Now that i think about it, Sony will have a hard time with their Neo in a year time.
Next year lower end laptops will have same or higher performance than their 'newest' platform and Microsoft will also be ahead.

Except I never said that? I just compared what you could get for the same money.

 

[dampflokfreund]

Is switchable graphics with the intel graphics not impossible then if it features gsync?

 

[mavericktopgun]

And perhaps triple the price.

Yowza
Gonna look up more on that when i am home thanks

 

[Mr Swine]

Awesome that laptops are now more or less equal to desktop computers!

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Now that i think about it, Sony will have a hard time with their Neo in a year time.
Next year lower end laptops will have same or higher performance than their 'newest' platform and Microsoft will also be ahead.

Not really, those lower end laptops with the same performance will still cost twice a PS4.

 

[Micerider]

Well probably not at the same price level though. "Lower end" gaming which would probably be above 800. Still good to see portable PC gaming becoming more of mainstream thing.

 

[Blablurn]

I need one!!

 

[Ulysses 31]

I need one!!

At origin pc website you can customize a laptop to have 2 GTX 1080!

With all other components maxed it will only set you back about 8000$ >.>

 

[K.Jack]

Join us in the gaming laptop thread.

Is switchable graphics with the intel graphics not impossible then if it features gsync?

The new laptops have manual switching.

 

[Mivey]

The good thing about this is that you could probably use them to cook your food, once you have to sell your stove to pay for them.

 

[Vitor711]

As someone who's bought several gaming laptops over the past decade, this performance increase is nuts.

Real shame about the price though. I have a desktop now since I stopped travelling but, even before, I could justify the pricing of the top tier machines (680m, 980m etc.). This, not so much.

 

[mordecaii83]

A 1060 is 2x as fast.. Pretty much on the level of a desktop 980 to 980ti.

Uh, the 1060 is below the desktop 980, somewhere between a 980m and a 980 (at least according to the benchmarks I've seen). This is still really impressive though!

 

[KKRT00]

Well probably not at the same price level though. "Lower end" gaming which would probably be above 800. Still good to see portable PC gaming becoming more of mainstream thing.

Of course not at the same price. Its full mobile platform and PC which make it more versatile.
But there are a lot of people that use normal laptop for work and a console for gaming. Buying one hardware in smaller form factor without breaking a bank can make big difference.

 

[Robiin]

How long battery life? Ten minutes of gaming?
