so as in the title
my maximum budget is 1500$
and i've found an offer for ASUS ROG with 6700HQ & 1070
but i've read in thread here that it will bottle neck a little bit
so my question is should i go for MSI 7700HQ with 1060 or get the ASUS ?
 
Solution


I can not recommend 17" laptop :) Just saying that 6700 + 1070 is more powerful.


are you sure that it "WILL NOT" bottleneck
 
Performance of the 6700 and 7700 are nigh identical. Something will bottleneck always, for some games it will be the 1070 for some the 6700. But there are zero instance I can think of where the 7700/1060 combo will out do the 6700/1070
 


😀
ok then i'm going for this
ASUS ROG G752VS-RB71
do you recommend it to me ?
thanks for your time in advance
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from IDaRkEMp3rOr : "ASUS ROG G752VS-RB71 Does it worth it ?"

so i'm tending to buy a new laptop and my final decision for under 1500$ was
ASUS ROG G752VS-RB71
With those specs.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ Quad Core Processor
17.3" Full HD Matte IPS Display (1920 x 1080)
16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM (Max 64GB RAM Supported)
1TB 7200rpm HDD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 Graphics
Any Advises ?
