RX2070 verse RX2080

SurfaceMinionThanks for the thoughts on the 2070 vs 2080 and I am feeling the same as you are describing, now the only difference for me is that later this year when the new Raptor 27" monitors ship I am either going to go with 2 or possibly three of them. Given that understanding would this change your perspective? Sure, my reply was purely based on assuming that you will be only gaming on the laptop. If you plan to go for higher resolution monitors then a 2080 MQ will definitely perform noticeably better than 2070 MQ on higher resolutions. But the heat and CPU issues will still remain and the 2080 MQ might still not reach its full potential because of them. But since playing on monitors is important for you, you will have to trust that Razer has built the internals good enough to avoid deterioration due to heat generated and the CPU bottleneck might not be that limiting. I was just not willing to take that risk of trusting them with that for gaming just on the laptop. For you it mak

RX2070 verse RX2080

SurfaceMinionHey Guys, Getting ready to order a Blade 15, and the final question comes down to GPU and going 2070 verse 2080? At the end of the day all things equal is the 2080 worth an extra $400 to the cost of the Blade 15? Thoughts? I was in the same situation two weeks ago. I researched a lot on the difference between the two GPUs. I finally came to the same conclusion that @ChiefNieth has written in his comment. We always like to go for the more powerful GPU when we are gonna spend so much money anyways. But it's really important to make a smart choice here. On a 1080p display, a 2070 MQ GPU will perform fine at the highest settings. A 2080 MQ might increase the frames a bit (or might even not due to CPU bottleneck and thermal throttling) but that increase is really not worth that kind of money. It will be barely noticeable. If we were talking about higher resolution panels or connecting to a monitor, then 2080 MQ might make sense. When gaming only on the laptop, make the smart
