so NVIDIA has brought us to London and there's been a lot of speculation as to why some people thought it was ten atti I really hoped that it wasn't too many desktop cards in the last little while some people thought it was ten atm I was in that camp and we were all wrong it was 1080 1070 and 1062 lat top without the M nomenclature and for a good reason mass drop is currently featuring their exclusive k7 XX red headphones built by AKG learn more and purchase one today at the link the video description down below nvidia is claiming to have a 20 million user install base for gaming notebooks that it's increased by 30% over 2015 alone and that it's 9 X 2 in the last five years gaming notebooks are becoming a big deal compared to before where everyone is just like they're just really large clunky objects they're becoming much more streamlined things like the razor blade which I'm actually getting my notes off for this video are actually really really fast and there's going to be a new one coming out with a 1060 in it and that's impressive there will be laptops with desktop grade GTX 1060 s in them that are as thin as 14 millimeters and as light as 4 pounds and that's coming with more features as well like more power efficient graphics which should give you 30% more battery life over their previous Maxwell editions and while the thin in light 1060 equipped laptops catered to me you might want to play with a little bit more power and that would be fine we saw a live demo on stage where they overclocked a 1080 inside of a laptop got it to like 20 62 megahertz and it was only at like I think 73 degrees Celsius something like that we're gonna have to test this in office and we're gonna have to compare them against their desktop equivalents but it is pretty exciting nonetheless now NVIDIA does seem to be ditching the M all together they're just calling them desktop Edition cards but they are slightly different what they're going to be looking for in terms of bidding is going to be different and in the case of the 1070 the specs are actually different but invidia is saying that they should be within 10% of the perceived performance of their desktop variants the laptop Edition 1060 has six agree bytes of memory 1280 CUDA cores and a sixteen hundred and seventy boost clock the 1070 is a little weird with eight gigabytes of memory but 2048 CUDA cores and 16:45 on the boost clock then the 1080 is more like its desktop Edition brother with 2560 cuda cores eight gigabytes of memory and 1733 boost clock in regards to TDP they wouldn't give us any actual numbers but what they would tell us is that the 1060 should be basically the same TDP as a 970 m the 1070 should be the GDP is a 980m and on the 1080 should be the same TDP as a 980 non-m the desktop class 980 now they'll be equipped with the dual FET power supply a multi phase power controllers and some laptops will come with factory overclocks but do note that there's no over voltage or under voltage control at all on the card and unfortunately we weren't able to play with overclocking at the event so that style video will have to come later on now in terms of tech you get all the same stuff as the desktop side does you're going to be able to have ansel in your games have Nvidia VR works if you're into that all of these different graphics cards are VR ready quote-unquote that will mean more or less depending on which card you get and there's been some improvements to gsync the main one is 120 Hertz so you're gonna have 120 Hertz 1080p panels and 120 Hertz 1440p panels although we didn't see any of those today that's pretty exciting if you're into the high refresh rate gaming on the go which has not been a huge thing in the past ok so I'm back in Canada now and I was able to sit down and pour over some of the benchmarking results that I gathered from the laptops at the event in London there were two rather unfortunate things to note here one is that Nvidia did not allow me to test any of the laptops that were equipped with a GTX 1060 this was frustrating as those were what I was most excited for the thin and lights no well the second unfortunate thing is that the games they allowed us to use for testing were weird why they had bow shock infinite and shadow of mordor there I have no idea giving results of 181 ish frames per second in Bioshock for the 1080 is sweet but not very impactful or useful I would have rather seeing more modern games that actually could really push the platform and see what it's capable of to later does that but it's pretty cherry pit that being said here's the performance numbers they were all ran at 1080p due to the resolution limitations of the Asus laptop and I paired that with the highest presets I could throw at it now this wasn't a great comparison not only was 1080p not a challenge for either of these cards or laptops as a whole but the Asus laptop had an i7 6820 HK and the clever had an i7 6700 Desktop Edition processor so it was not the same on either end but there you go it's fast sure both myself and the venerable line is Sebastian himself will have benchmarking comparisons and whatnot for you guys in the future as we get some laptop samples in the office but that's actually all for now I don't have a ton to say on those benchmarking numbers as they're on kind of older not as relevant games but we can look at the tomb raider number and know that these things are going to be quite fast and I'm very happy that they have desktop grade graphics in laptops in a full range instead of just on the 980 it's just exciting for the future Braintree is code for simple online payments so if you're building a mobile app and searching for a simple online payment solution

were like no you're only allowed filming video in one country at a time it's rude if you do it in more than one country at a time hit the dislike button that's fair I don't really understand the argument but you could do that if you want to buy a shirt like this one you can click the link the video description down below if you want to buy a product that it may or may not have mentioned in this video you click the Amazon link in the video description down below as well check out this video which is on the 980 in a laptop that I shot in a third country so basically whatever I'm just screwing with you at this point but I'll see you next time
