I've been searching every day for information regarding the new Pascal cards for laptops. It turns out that things might not be quite as rosy as first thought.

http://wccftech.com/geforce-gtx-1080m-details-show-up-in-gaming-notebook/

Obviously this is very early information but I thought I would start a thread similar to the desktop one to collect the info.

I'm now wondering, again, if holding off for the 1070/1080m is going to be THAT much better than the 980 desktop (laptop version). It almost appears to me that there's going to be either a delayed release of the full chip in the laptops... or there's not going to be one.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure I'd say it's much less rosy :) While the proposition of full desktop spec for laptops was tasty, it was only ever a rumour. The leaked Asus mobile GPU bench (this one - http://videocardz.com/60211/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080m-faster-than-gtx-titan-x - which I think came out before that rumour started?) also contradicted that, as it showed a 1080M being about as powerful as a GTX 1070 desktop.

That graphics score beats out the 1070 desktop in the Guru3d bench: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-review,28.html

Don't get me wrong, it's still absolutely jaw dropping. I just think there may be another "game changer" in the laptops around the time there's a ti or Titan gamechanger in the desktops :D

Maybe, although power draw might be an issue. GTX 980 desktop is 165W, GTX 1070 is 150W, GTX 1080 is 180W. If the GTX 980 for laptops is ~100W (http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/86639-nvidia-releases-geforce-gtx-980-gaming-laptops/) it may be a struggle for the 1080 desktop to make it into them, and certainly will be for a 1080 ti.

From what I had read there were 2 GTX980 laptop versions. One was 180w and the other was 200w. That would suggest that the full GTX1080 could be powered in a laptop.

I had asked the question regarding which variant was in the 775 but I didn't get a response. I'm not sure what the desktop GTX980 even looks like, does it perhaps occupy 2 MXM slots or use the power of 2?

Edit: Here is a blurb stating that the 980m was 100w but the 980 notebook model runs between 165 and 200 depending on OC, etc. This would suggest to me that it's perhaps using 2 MXM slots for power?

Edit again: Reading between the lines it appears that MXM 3.0b is 100w, MXM 3.0 is 200w :)
