Solved! what is the better 1060 or 980 in a laptop

[ZeeReD]

Hello
what the best laptop from this list

first from Acer Predator

Intel Core i7-6700HQ,
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (8 GB DDR5), "not 980m"
16 GB RAM,
256 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD


second from HP Omen

Intel Core i7-7700HQ,
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB),
16 GB RAM,
128 GB (PCIe Flash), 1 TB HDD

Both are good even 980 has more Vram speed better gaming but 1060 can also handle everything easily
the difference is of Brand so i think you should go for which ever brand you feel comfortable with or which ever is giving better warranty service options

I've never used a gaming laptop because I prefer to build my own desktops. In general, a 1060 and 980 are pretty much equal. Performance in a laptop is probably going to depend on which one has better cooling so it can maintain maximum boost clocks more often.

The 1060 is a 120W card while a 980 is 165W so my gut tells me that the 1060 model will run cooler and have slightly better battery life but this really depends on the designs from Acer and HP. That larger SSD on the 980 machine is an advantage though.

So when it comes to heat who has the best cooling system
Is it predator or omen?

1060, similar performance, uses less power and creates less heat, so less throttling in a laptop.

i saw a comparison on notebookcheck when we talk about the desktop versions they both have almost the same results

but when we talk about the laptop version it seems there some difference

They still look similar even on them links, with the 1060 slightly better.

I would still be going for the HP Omen system out of them two.

If both laptops are running 1080p screens then the clear choice is the 1060.

Notebookcheck's excellent testing means you don't have to guess from benchmarks. They list actual test FPS they obtained on different games using the different GPUs in question.

Personally I would opt for the 1060. The GTX 980 draws enough power that combined with the CPU it probably exceeds the capacity of the laptop's AC adapter. Laptops which do this slowly drain their battery while plugged into run at full speed. When the battery is empty, the laptop throttles the CPU and GPU to keep them under the max power the AC adapter can supply.

The 1060 laptop probably does not do this, or if it does it does it slower enough that you'll be able to run the laptop at "full speed" for longer before the battery is drained.

But when we talking about the one that give me the most fps is it be 980 ?

Go for 1060, it generates less heat, and use less power. But has the same performance. So the 1060 will work better...
