    Yes it should have it and especially if Prema has confirmed..
    Lol, trust me I would be angry about both.. When I got my G73JH 6 years ago, it was stuck at customs and had to pay import tax before they would release it.. Went all the way to the Parcelforce depot on Saturday, somewhere in the middle of nowhere and paid the damm tax and took it home.. I hate waiting for my new toys lol
    Get the P870DM2, you could probably get it by Friday if you order from Hidevolution.. Has a 1080 and can be upgraded to 1080 SLI in the future..

    You guys are lucky, in India the MSI laptop prices start at $3000 and we always have higher avg running temps :p

    So the 1070M is about the same speed as the desktop 1070 and around 40% faster than the desktop 980, is that correct ?

    I would also like to propose the prefix of 'N' for notebook graphics cards even though the M nomenclature has been dropped and we are getting desktop class cards, we still need a way to distinguish between them am I right ?

    The 1070 notebook gpu is about 25% faster than the 980 notebook gpu. The 1080 is about 40% faster than the 980

    I think you are talking about the 1060, being between the 980M and 980M SLI.
    The 1070 should be between the desktop 980 and 980 Ti.

    Is the 1070 enough to game at 1440p for the next 2-3 years? Or would it be worthwhile to spend the extra $400-ish to get the 1080? I have zero interest in VR if that helps.

    1080 is approximately 50% better. As both will not struggle running games at 1440p, it's totally your call.
    If you can afford both, go for the 1080.

    I am confused. My numbers were correct lol.
    1070 mobile is 25% faster than 980, 1080 is 40% faster than 980. His post said the 1070 was 40% faster than 980 which is incorrect. This is looking at 3dmark graphics scores

    I didn't say you were incorrect, rather, you saying "Laptop 980" was a bit confusing as I thought you were talking about the 980M.
    And you shouldn't be confused. The "980" used in some laptops is indeed the desktop 980 we all know, with no compromises or whatsoever.

    Bottom line: 1060 is comparable to 980M, 1070 is comparable to Desktop (and laptop) 980, 1080 competes with 980 Ti.

    So, i'm in the market for a laptop with 17" screen, a 1070 and a 1080p@120hz with G-Sync.

    What are my options? MSI gt73 and clevo p8? Are there other confirmations? I've read the review of the MSI gt72VR and those ms times in the screen look NOT 120hz at all. Was it really 120hz?

    Thanks for the help!!

    From the reviews I've seen, I would say that all those are a bit on the low side. The 1060 is better then the 980m, the 1070 is better then the 980 desktop and the 1080 is higher then the 980ti....
    If the thermals are good, obviously.

    This does not seem accurate. The 1070 benchmarks I have seen put the mobile version closer to the 980 ti than a 980. And the 1060 is at worst 15% faster than a 980m from every benchmark I've seen.

    I will tell you in a few short days because I have a 980ti in my desktop and I have a Asus Gl502vs w/1070 on the way.

    This picture from Tomshardware backs it up a bit.

    Yeah, the response times in ms have been shockingly bad from what I have seen on notebookcheck as well. What use is 120hz if your response time is 20ms and you can only manage 1000/20=50fps? Seems like these folks are playing a marketing game.

    That's why I wish some of these smaller notebooks (MSI GS43, Aorus 13") would follow Alienware's example with the OLED panel - it may be 60hz, but with 1-2ms response times you are guaranteed a nice smooth and stable 60fps. Unfortunately the Alienware 13 is heavier/similar weight to some 15" gaming notebooks...

    Guys, just to be clear here.
    All the comparisons I have mentioned are in favor to the Pascal cards. Which means all the pascal cards actually perform better. I have probably badly rephrased my comment.

    Quick question to you guys - do Gigabyte laptops have good QC, build quality and thermals?

    And if they don't, which company has the best QC, build quality and thermal and acoustic performance?

    It's this quote that people are having problems with:

    Your use of the word comparable is most likely the hangup. That word is generally understood to mean "approximately equal to," which is not the case at all when you're talking about Pascal versus Maxwell.

    Welp. When I said "comparable", I meant to mention the closest Maxwell GPU to compare to the current Pascal.

    AORUS X7 v6 is available for pre-order with those specs, albeit with a 1440p display (2,560x1,440) - 120Hz/5ms http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...rds-gtx-1060-1070-1080-13-9-15-6-17-3.795060/

    "Hi,
    the response time is 25ms. With G-Sync enabled, the screen refresh rate is 75Hz."

    Just got this response from sager about the 1080p g sync screen on the NP8153. 25ms seems kinda slow doesn't it?

    I'm still confused

    Just kidding, but yeah I was talking about desktop 980. I just wanted to let him know that the 1070 is not that much faster than the 980. (He said 40%). What I'm dying to figure out is what the gap in performance will be when they are both overclocked to the max

    Forgive me if this is the wrong thread for this question. But if I want to take full advantage of a screen. Does the 1070 or 1080 need to be able to push enough fps to match the refresh rate of the monitor while gaming?

    It depends what resolution screen you're getting. If 1080p then 1070 is enough. If 4k then atleast 1080 is needed.

    Notebookcheck has reviewed MSI GT72VR. Their test unit had GTX 1070 and the new, LG Philips LGD046E 120 hz 5ms screen.
    In their test they measured the actual response time of the screen and the gray to gray response was 34.4 ms.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the newly anounced 1060 3GB would make it into mobile with a 960m comparable TDP? For all us ala XPS 15 users.

    Because I am worried we might get just a maxwell recycle in the lower tiers.

    Could it be that the unit they tested was the regular 60hz and not the 120hz model? With 34.4ms in GtG is pointless to have 120hz... It doesn't even makes sense.

    Lets talk about the GT72VR:

    MSI has gutted the unit; no more thunderbolt, no RAID support, only 1 M.2 slot for SATA 3 only!!! no support for PCIe M.2 drives? according to that notebookcheck review, only i7-6700HQ! WTF?

    I guess they want "enthusiasts" to go for the GT73VR and spend $$$

    My GT72S has 4 M.2 slots of which two are PCIe NVMe capable... damn marketing people getting in the way of progress...

    I agree, however their asking price is high for the stripped down shell of a laptop it used to be.... The GPU is the highlight....they are forcing buyers to look at the M$I GT73VR

    For those of you that are interested PCspecialist now have a P870DM2 up for sale, so dual 1070s, and P870DM3 (dual 1080s) at a pretty decent price, cheapest I have seen this side of the Atlantic, why isn't Europe getting any solo 1080 love for the P870DM? that is all I am asking for, I don't want SLI, I don't care for SLI, specially when the second card is gonna cost me a kidney ...

    It really depends on whether you're a health enthusiast or not; two kidneys running in SLI offer significant advantages, even when compared to dual 1080s.
