hey guys ive been looking at this Asus laptop for awhile now, its a model that probably only released in China. its called the Asus FX60VM. it costs around 1170USD and runs on GTX1060 with 3GB of Vram. it also run on intel i7 6300HQ with 8GB of RAM.
 
The GTX 1060 is basically slightly better than the GTX 980m. With 3GB of VRAM, you should not have problems running most games at 1080p using ultra graphic settings. Although I have read that custom ultra quality texture mods for some games (like Skyrim) can push VRAM demand close to 5GB @ 1080p.
 
A 1060 will be pushing games that will exceed 3gb of video ram. Thing is I have only seen them come with 6gb. You sure it's a 3gb load out?
