MysterD buys a Gaming Laptop...AGAIN - SC15 Laptop this time.
MysterD:
MysterD last week ordered a Gaming Laptop...and it arrived today!
Yep, bought an Acer Nitro (which still works fine w/ 900p-1080p gaming at 30fps or 60fps, I might add) around 2 years back, but now...here we are again!
Saw this SC15 on sale recently for $1000 (50% off its $2000 price-tag) on EVGA's site - so, didn't and couldn't pass this one up.
EVGA SC15 Gaming Laptop:
Intel i7 7700 HQ @ 2.8 Ghz
Windows 10 64-bit
16 GB DDR4 RAM at 2400Mhz
6 GB NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 (mobile version)
G-Sync Support
15.6'' 1080p IPS Screen w/ 120hz refresh rate
256 GB SSD
1TB HDD 5400RPM
Bluetooth 4.2
Thunderbolt 3.0 port
USB-C to USB-A cable wire (that goes in the TB3 port)
MysterD:
Throwing some games at it.
First up was Ghost Recon: Wildlands. 60fps at 1080p on High. Barely taking hits here, even with stuff happening on screen. Even the lowest I've seen is 57fps here so far. The game both looks and runs great. Impressive laptop. My previous laptop was on Low mostly at 900p at around 30fps w/ the Acer Nitro V15 (i7 Haswell, 16 GB RAM DDR3, 4GB 960M, W10 64-bit).
Holy crap @ this! Prey 2017 at 1080p here is running at 120fps at Medium like it's nothing. Around 100-115fps at Very High with 1080p.
idolminds:
damn, nice man.

Trump refers to himself in third person...

COINCIDENCE?
Also, congrats. Looks great!

I didn't know anything about the mobile 1060s, so I looked. Performance is within 10-20% of the desktop models. Mine just loafs at 60 fps, on just about everything. My 25% use in FC5 went to 40% when I changed the rendering scale from 1.0 to 1.3 (everything on high, texture filtering on ultra, renders at 768p*1.3 = 998p). My CPU always blinks first, and I suspect that will be the case for you too. At 1080p and below, I think you're going to be quite happy.
