Important Things About Geforce 10 Series
Basically every major laptop manufacturer is going in on this they're all on board except for Apple a lot of rumors are saying that the next generation Mac books are going to use the Polaris 11 chips from AMD still a very capable graphics platform but if you're an Adobe user and you want CUDA cores for rendering it's not looking good for mac books these are the specs for the desktop GTX 10 series cards.
Lots of fancy numbers all good stuff and then these are the specs for the laptop chips also a lot of fancy numbers but I want to draw your attention to a few things first the clock speeds on the mobile variants are reduced a bit same with the boost clock speeds but they have the same number of CUDA cores actually the mobile 1070 has even more than the desktop version because of the drop in clock speed but in previous generations the mobile chips easily had like a 25 to 30% reduction in CUDA cores not this time they've also dropped the M moniker at the end of the name.
It's a GTX 1070 not a 1070 m now most of the other specs including the memory speeds and bandwidth are the same between the desktop and laptop version gaming laptop screens have always run at 60 Hertz.
If you had frame rates above 60 frames per second you couldn't see it but competitive gamer want higher refresh rates on desktops they'll run 120 or 144 Hertz panels to help with reaction time and if you've never gamed on a 120 or 144 hurt screen you should try it something special so Nvidia has worked with manufacturers to bring out 1080p and even 1440p displays running at 120 Hertz on these new cards you're getting some very buttery visuals I just got these updated drivers from Nvidia but with preliminary testing on the GTX 1070 I'm getting around 15% better frame rates than the GTX 980 from the previous generation Nvidia claims that the performance on these mobile chips will be within 10% of the desktop version so if you're interested in the performance of a specific game just look up the card that you're interested in subtract 10% from the desktop card and that should theoretically be the performance of the mobile card they're very fast.
