GTX 1080, 1070 & 1060 - Now In Laptops

2016-08-15
excellent hello everyone welcome to this video I'm in London invited here by Nvidia and why am i why do they have Iceland but here's Buckingham Palace a sign of such regal kings queens pageantry what is known that if any had snow announcements for us and we're going to share this right now what they're doing is taking their graphics cards that they just loves 1062 1070 1080 and they're just shoving them into laptops okay guys I've switched a voice-over mode for better audio now and your first question is probably is this the launch of the GTX 10 ATM 1070 m 1060 m the answer would be no these are full-fledged GPUs just like they kind of did on a limited basis with the GTX 980 in laptops so they're not cut down mobile versions and videos doing this because they are expecting about 30 percent sales growth in 2016 for GTX class Mobile GPU based notebooks as lazy people who don't want to build their own computers look for gaming pcs that can handle current gen titles and VR also they're leveraging the efficiency of Pascal and I guess laptops being portable is also kind of convenient Nvidia says these ten series GPU laptops will be available globally tomorrow Tuesday August 16th just in time for back-to-school assuming they can keep them in stock of course which has been a big problem for their desktop variants but that remains to be seen let's get into specifics though first there's the GTX 1080 this one still has 2560 cuda cores a 17 33 megahertz boost clock eight gigs of 10 gigabit per second gddr5 X memory and this will replace the GTX 980 and a laptop so nice upgrade there the gtx 1070 will have 2048 cuda cores 1645 megahertz boosts clock eight gigabytes of eight gigabit per second gddr5 and it will replace the 980 m note here it's some slight spec variants this one actually has more cuda cores than the desktop gtx 1070 which has 1920 cuda cores but it runs at a slightly lower frequency and vidya says that this offset on both accounts provides pretty much equivalent performance finally the gtx 1060 will have 1280 cuda cores 1670 megahertz boost clock 6 gigabytes of eight gigabit per second gddr5 and will replace the 970 m again a slight variance here from the desktop specs just about a thirty megahertz lower boost clock if you're like me your next question would be can these overclock and the answer would be yes comparing them to the Maxwell mobile GPUs which could overclock to maybe 80 to 120 megahertz over their reference specs pascal's should expect to see 200 to 300 megahertz an additional overclocking Headroom the reason is they have dual FET power supplies now which drives a lot of power in a small area as well as a multi-phased power controller which increases power efficiency and reduces noise these are updates to the power delivery system with Pascal that we saw on the desktop side now when it comes to overclocking your mileage may vary of course based on the laptop you by its design and its cooling also bear in mind there's no voltage control with the desktop 10 series GPUs that is kind of to be expected since there's thermal limitations with the size of laptops and the target temperature is still 83 degrees Celsius Nvidia did a live overclocking demo for us it did have a couple hiccups but they managed to get it working they were using a GTX 1080 equipped MSI laptop and they started out with the base clock of 1607 applied at 225 megahertz offset in MSI Afterburner that resulted in the GPU running at about 2,000 63 while gaming at the temperature was 72 degrees Celsius and they played doom in 1920 by 1080 with ultra settings OpenGL mode and it resulted in a frame rate of about 120 to 140 now since laptops have displays integrated there are some display upgrades in the work as well 120 Hertz g-sync notebook displays at 2560 by 1440 and that's a pretty drool-worthy spec for any gaming laptop out there although I imagine these are going to be pretty high-end and maybe pretty pricey either way you do have decent support of course and when it's integrated into the laptop screen you actually don't need that g-sync chip so that's pretty nice - now we already know that Pascal is very efficient and NVIDIA claims up to 30% more battery life on Pascal based GPUs compared to Maxwell that is a really impressive spec especially if you like to game well unplugged there will be a new battery boost feature integrated into the Nvidia control panel that will allow you to set a max framerate or choose between frame rate quality settings or battery life so lowering the settings or the resolution will translate into the GPU using less juice and giving you more battery we should be seeing this soon with a driver updates and this will apply not just to these Pascal based GPUs but to all mobile GTX platforms so that's pretty nice as far as the laptops themselves Nvidia had a ton of them on display they say they're going to be able to get them down as thin as 18 millimeters potentially as light as 4 pounds and they're going to be available from every conceivable major laptop manufacturer that's out there so gigabyte Lenovo EVGA Asus MSI HP razor pretty much all of them and of course all these laptops are going to be VR ready as long as they have the proper USB and HDMI connections for the head-mounted displays one caveat is that they will need to stay plugged in but that's still pretty nice to be able to do VR on a laptop so if your question now is are these laptops going to be better than my gaming desktop and the answer would be maybe if you are using an older GPU but if you compare the same GPU from this generation the desktop variant will still perform better and stay cooler and have better overclocking potential especially with that voltage control at reference frequencies you should expect performance that's within about 10% of the desktop variants when you're using one of these in a laptop finally I want to point out that we definitely need some more independent testing and reviews of these laptops some of those reviews should be available now so check the interwebs for those more should be coming soon but all the information provided today was directly from Nvidia and as we all know with marketing material they tend to paint a pretty glowing picture of themselves all that said though I'm pretty excited about these full-fledged GPUs coming to laptops hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed this video guys and we'll see you next time for all of the optical disks that we use all of them fall in the optimum iMagic gonna need you're a soos drivers - yes oh yeah yeah I got a load your drivers off the driver disk unless you threw it away yeah but you wouldn't have thrown that away because you've been watching Linus you know know Linus tells you to throw him away all this right yep he's the problem you know much more lives geez
