How far to mobile 4k 60fps?

I'm starting to plan my purchase of my next notebook, and I was curious about whether or not posters here thought we were getting close to notebooks being capable of running games at 4k 60 fps (high settings).

Will it be possible with pascal? Volta? (or AMD equivalents). Is it a pipe dream to think it'll arrive soon at all?

I'm well out of the loop on what modern cards provide for performance, so it would also be great to know what you expect for the next generation as well!

 

4K with 60 fps in mobile is still a year or two away. This year's top dogs from both green and red will have performance equivalent (or +5-10%) to 980/390X cards according to my estimations.

 

Of course it depends also on whether you OC and also whether the new cards OC well. 30% increase in clocks is often possible that would easily allow for 4k 60fps on a 1080M I reckon.

 

Well, if 1080M is as powerful as 980, then with 30% OC (quite heavy I would say) it would put it at 980Ti level which is still not enough for 60 fps at 4K according to these benchmarks:

at least another 2 years

 

Thanks guys, doubt Ill be able to hold off another 2 years

 

Based on the info we have about the 1080, I think we can expect the 1180M next year to probably be in the 50-60 fps range. But a steady 60 fps at 4k won't be possible until the 1280M in 2 years time.

On a semi-related note, I can actually get 4k@60 fps in Assassin's Creed Rogue on a 980M, but it dips down to 45 in cutscenes. Rogue is a game that came out around the same time as the 980M.

 

Um, you guys serious? Either of the 980-SLI wielding laptops on the market can handle 4K 60fps.
The ASUS GX800 especially is going to be ridiculous, since it's got water-cooling for two full GPU's (full 980's at first, full 1080's after). The OC on those is amazing btw.
This year is where it's at. If you can afford it, of course.

 

You let out the part where only a fool would pay $6k for the GX800.

 

The fat water cooling on that thing is just... if it can't be carried in a normal backpack and deployed quickly at desk it's not a notebook computer anymore.

 

Good aircooling should be enough. Or at least an Intergrated watercooler that doesn't look like an afterbirth.

 

today

 

hurik. the benchmarks you provided were ultra settings hes saying 4k high settings 60fps and that is already possible

 

One company did make a very cool water setup for the Alienware 18x R2, but Alienware never took 'em up on it...

I woulda sold granny for it...
