hey how's it going guys this is Dave QD and this is a video in which laptop GPU to by now if you have an unlimited budget you can drop like three or four or even five thousand dollars on a gaming laptop with 4k gaming capabilities it's awesome but if you're like most people you have a limited budget and you're trying to choose between some cheaper gaming options this video is for you so these are the laptop graphics chips we're going to look at and if you care about specs you can pause the screen and check them out now there's a bit of confusion to the naming system that Nvidia gave this generation of laptop graphics chips so last generation there was a gtx 960m and the 970m those were 50 watts and 80 watt TDP video cards so the water's number refers to the amount of thermal energy that you need to dissipate from those chips these line up with the GTX 1050 and the GTX 1060 chips these are also 50 watt and 80 watt ships it's a little confusing so sometimes in the comments we'll see people asking why you comparing a 960 M with a 1050 it should be comparing a 960 M with a 1060 but that's just not the case it's 960 m with a 1050 that's just the way the Nvidia made it this year and the reason why is to compare trips by wattage is because the higher the wattage the more cooling you need to build into the laptop to remove it you can't put an 80 watt graphics chip into a laptop designed to cool a 50 watt chip and then you can't put a 50 watt ship into a laptop designed to cool a 35 watch it just doesn't work okay let's talk about graphical performance if we look into a benchmark program like fire strength so far strike 1.1 and we assume that the 960 M is like the base score the GTX 1050 is around 25% better the 970 m is around 70% better the 1050 Ti is around 75% better and the gtx 1060 is way better it's like two and a half times so these scores don't always translate to the same percentage increase in gaming frame rates but they're usually close starting with some lightweight games like dota 2 at 1080p on Ultra settings I haven't played this game in forever and it already ran nicely on the 960 m but if you're after a better visual quality or higher for these new cards are nice next up is overwatch still a relatively lightweight game it's playable on any of these cards in fact most of my overwatch career isn't spent on a gtx 960m but on the newer cards can get some significantly better frame rates or image quality doom like the new doom is a step up in hardware requirements and on the 960m it's really not playable on high settings you'll need to drop resolution or graphics quality but on the 1050 P I can get some really smooth frame rates on high graphics quality battlefield one is a bit more demanding especially with some multiplayer maps here we're actually starting to see a drop-off in frame rates even on the 1050 Ti we can't quite hit 60 frames per second on high settings you need to play on the gtx 1062 break 60 frames per second on high graphics rise of the Tomb Raider pushes all these shifts pretty hard the gtx 1060 will break 60 frames per second on high settings but even then it's getting close it'll dip below 60 pretty often and I'd say that this game is kind of where the gtx 1050 Ti reaches those limits for a really good image quality at 1080p and then lastly witcher 3 which I'm sure you guys are sick of seeing but it's a very well optimised game and uses your hardware effectively it's a beast of a game and it's not an enjoyable experience unless you have some pretty good hardware and in this case lower end karts just don't cut it if VR is you're saying the only card that can comfortably handle VR and is officially VR ready is the laptop gtx 1060 the 1050 Ti is kind of capable I've tested it on some lighter games that are dropping too many frames but it's not ideal in regards to video editing there's a slight improvement in render times as you get better GPUs but it's not huge the performance gains are more pronounced with higher res little I've case garlic footage I'm not sure why it might be beer emulated but in general video editing performance in Adobe is much more CPU dependent the last thing I want to talk about is pricing and for a lot of people this is the most important factor a laptop with a gtx 960m starts at around $700 a laptop with a 1050 will start around $800 a 970 m device tends to be $1,000 or more a laptop with a 1050 Ti and will be around 900 and a lot of top of the gtx 1060 starts at around $1,300 so i did the math okay it's pretty obvious the one was the best value is the gtx 750ti and it's not that the other ones are our bad value it's just that for current titles playing at 1080p resolutions with a 60 Hertz screen which is like your standard gaming laptop screen you're getting the best value there and my guess is that you're going to get two maybe even three years of scheming at really good frame rates like 60 frames per second or higher with really good image quality and at that price it just it's a really good deal it's kind of crazy that you're getting this kind of image quality with just kind of frame rates at this kind of price pretty cool now there's one last thing I'm giving away two laptops the first is the Dell Inspiron 75-67 this is the gtx 1050 TI with the i5 and the second laptop and give them away this one's a little better the msi GST 3 this is a gtx 1060 i've done reviews for both of them I'll link the videos down below to win them I mean you should be subscribed and all that to this channel but it's actually not going to be a youtube contest and run it on my other social media probably on Twitter maybe Instagram maybe one on each I haven't decided yet but when this video goes live maybe wait like 2 or 3 days and you'll see a details post on my social media accounts as to how to win them so if you're interested in winning one or yeah you can only win one you can't win both if you're interested in winning one of these follow me there that's the end of this video hope you guys enjoyed it thumbs if you did subject it see you guys next time
