    I'd rather have there be a demand for MXM and for more companies to utilize it and give it a reason to be used than just Clevo making them, personally. I agree that it's silly as a desktop, but more support is good.

    Yeah, one hopes that we can one day pick one up off the retail shelves and upgrade our MXM laptops without jumping through hoops.

    The more the desktop world gets involved with MXM is a good sign, hopefully the broad cross-vendor standards start trickling down. So long as compatibility is (mostly) locked to a vendor's ecosystem, volumes will remain low, prices high, and aftermarket will remain niche (and get more so given the thin'n'BGA infestation in notebooks)

    That would be amazing. I could only dream of walking into a best buy / futureshop / etc on the release of the Nvidia 12x0 series, grabbing an MXM board off the shelf and shoving it in my laptop the same day. That's the kind of world I want for my children.

    No!! They forget the delay due high polling frequency. NBC talk stupidity... As they stated. "Enabling Maximum fan mode has some interesting effects on the Q5. When running Witcher 3, the CPU becomes locked in the 3.7 to 3.8 GHz range while the GPU will run slightly faster at a steady 1316 MHz." Is pure Stupidity!!

    Look at Cpu Package Power in the pictures + the current clocks. Barely over 22w when running Witcher 3 (maximum fan mode). With high polling frequency and low load will the clocks look almost likevise for all 4 cores.

    What about compatibility of this 1070 with clevo P170EM(sager NP9170)? And could i received from you a couple of photos that shows the set of "1060" for p170em? I'm really wondering what means that "power cable" in the offert:

    nVidia is up to something!

    They are working on releasing a new GPU sometime soon, all prices have touched rock bottom in Romania, I'm sure they are working on something right as we speak!

    When does the Nvidia GT 1040 come? Will it ever come? Kinda waiting for something in between the mx150 and 1050 gtx... (which should be similar to 750Ti or 960m performance).

    Btw. if anyone stumbles across the rumor of an Ideapad 320s having a GT 1040 on a polish website - this has been corrected (changed to mx150).

    For the ones who find this wish ridiculous... let me tell you what is really ridiculous: an mx110 and mx130... which have both been seen already. There really is no need for a dedicated gpu below the mx150, as this can be replaced by Intel HD gpus.

    How can one avoid those Qrippled versions? Which videocards do come in this flavor exactly? For example, is there like a 0 chance to get a crippled 1050ti? Or all Pascal GTX cards will also come in crippled form?

    Avoid "thin and light's" or anything with a max Q tag.

    Edit: also it's limited to just laptop cards. Any desktop card that isn't running to full potential is just defective.

    Unfortunately for you, most notebooks with the GTX 1050, GTX 1050 Ti, GTX 1060 and even GTX 1070 are 'thin' by this community's standards. Look at the Clevo PA70HS, for example.

    Will the 1070ti be made into a mobile GPU? It would make far more sense to slot it into the Max-Q 1080 slot.

    The 1070 Ti is Stupid Because Vega Sucks

    Nvidia could easily designed a 1070Ti for laptops. But why create something who decrease their earnings vs. throw out crippled 1080? And Max-Q series graphics will let Nvidia have extended deadline to meet OEM's demands for new graphics in next refreshed models.

    Well, it might just be that the 1070ti is a shaved 1080, shaved in a different way than the Max-Q 1080, so it accomplishes the same goal, sell a sub-1080 level GPU for the same price as the 1080 :)

    If the 1070ti takes off, gets popular on the desktop, I'm thinking a mobile part can't be too far behind :)

    It seems only the 1060, 1070 and 1080 have Max Q variants. Notebooks should have the Max Q branding visible. Problem is finding it in cases where they bury them deep within the specifications or manual.

    Well, when you live on the cutting edge of technology, it isn't the best compromise...
    if I didn't need the absolute best I could get, I probably wouldn't care so much about those things, but I really need me some performance.

    IDK, it's easy to look at 2 numbers and pick the highest performance of the two, it's a whole 'nuther thing to decide which is the best solution to a problem, is the extra money worth the time savings? Are there time savings?

    In the end, it's stuck in a box under a desk, or in a server room, nobody's gonna see it, they just want to submit their jobs for processing, slay the dragons on the screen, and keep doing that day after day with money left over for other things.

    You have to figure out if that premium for a little more performance makes any difference, or whether smart configuration and tuning will make up the difference, and multiply that over 100's or 1000's of units in many sites.

    If you are tossing the top end FPS off with G-sync, who needs to pay more to get nothing?

    IRL I find it's rarely the most expensive "fastest" solution that ends up getting selected, it's the balanced solution that makes the bottom line go up. :)

    Well... At the end of the day, I don't even know anymore... I just need to do my work faster, you don't want to wait minutes to process everything all the time. But I think that the CPU has more impact for me in particular.

    Gamers Rejoice – GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Coming Nov. 2
    https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2017/10/26/geforce-gtx-1070-ti/

    "We designed the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to be an overclocking monster with plenty of headroom for gamers to crank up the clock speeds. And our partners have built cards with thermals and power supplies that allow gamers to push performance way past stock specifications."

    Nvidia finally announce the GTX 1070 Ti, and it's an overclocking monster

    https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia-1070-ti-launch

    "Nvidia claim they “designed the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to be an overclocking monster, with plenty of headroom for gamers to crank up the clock speeds.” Well, that dispels those rumours

    Check back on November 2nd for our full review along with in-depth benchmarking of the GTX 1070 Ti."

    Now we need Nvidia to settle in to their new building, and get the 1070 ti mobile solution out the door to replace the Max-Q 1080 in laptops. :)

    I have a question regarding 1060 Max-Q , I have heard it can be overclocked and once overclocked it will perform at same level as that of 1060 regular(Laptop) , Is it true ? and the amount of overclock is limited by Laptop manufacturer ? or by VBIOS ?

    Very, very interesting. Definitely one to look out for, especially since on the Asus website, they claim IPS. That would be epic.

    I would assume the Max-Q variety also has a lower allowable TDP too, which means that even if you do overclock it then you will still be hitting up against the power limiters. Probably best to buy a regular GTX 1060 if you want GTX 1060 performance!

    I'm seeing prices of about 2.5k CAD.

    My interest is are they gonna bring it over to laptop. Linus tech tips cracked it open and it looks identical to the inside of a laptop. I would be more than eager to see this as a test bed for a tornado f7, gt75, or gt85 style laptop

    Edit: i found the video

    You are aware Clevo have been doing multiple lines of laptops with desktop CPUs constantly since intel dropped the mobile PGA socket... P750, P770, P751, P775, P870... The P570WM even had a HEDT socket for 6 and 8 core chips... MSI are recently getting into it as well with the one 15" model, and rumours say a 17" ice lake (late 2018) is coming too.

    The Vortex series itself is a bit of a joke. Extremely expensive. And if the G65VR is anything to go by they are happy to dump support after 6 months and leave their $3k customers languishing with year old driver package.

    The only good thing about it is popularising the MXM format.

    I am aware, they have been on my radar for some time. I'm just hoping to see more options so that we see more competition and inovation.

    I wont disagree on the vortex being bad.

    Hey guys I have a question to those who own a laptop with a 1060gtx.

    My card usually boosts to 1886 mhz but as soon as the gpu load reaches 97-99% it immediately downclocks to stock speed. (The boost goes away completely). Initially i thought that it is temperature related but i was able to rule that out by running firestrike on fresh boot and the gpu clocks only go to max stock speed on the scene where the gpu is strained, after that i tried playing doom demo and the clock stays at 1886 mhz throughout while maintaining a temp of 73 c. Anyone experienced anything like this before? It seems to me that the clock runs at max boost when the gpu isnt near max load and reverts to stock clock at max load.

    Thanks in advance
