who goes gtx anymore rtx is the way to go grow a brain editor and writer oh wait can't grow what wasn't there to begin with

Right, RTX, go ahead and pay another $400 for a feature that halves framerate and kills visual quality when it's supposed to enhance it instead. Money well spent I suppose. :P

You can always spend $100-$200 more on the next level up. I personally don't think it's worth getting a gaming laptop. Buy a desktop for home, and a Nintendo switch for on the go gaming.

Not everyone has room for a full tower desktop and even fewer actually care about top-tier performance. Damn near every person in college mainlines on a laptop. Kinda surprising to see. No sense in bashing another's choice though, if you don't see the value in it, that's on you.

As for me goes, anything over a 1660 Ti is a waste of money. The best 1660 Ti laptops are on par with basically every 2070 laptop on the market because of power limit vBIOS idiocy. Jarrod's Tech, OwnOrDisown, Bob Of All Trades and a few others all talk about this actively. Not to mention that a laptop with a 1060 will keep pace with basically any Turing laptop GPU and scales considerably better at lower power draw. I distinctly remember hearing from reviewers to ignore RTX laptops and scour the net for used or previous generation 1070 mobile and 1080 mobile offerings and buy those instead for this reason.

Here's to hoping RDNA 2 shakes things up. Rumors have it likely being on par with Ampere, which would be extremely refreshing. AMD on top? Yes please.

How is paying the rtx premium before big navi "growing a brain"? Navi laptops will probably come by mid 2021, and gtx 1660ti is still super viable

The performance-per-dollar on GeForce 1650 Ti laptops aren't nearly as good as the GTX 1660 Ti which is only one step up for just $100 to $200 more. The 40 to 50 percent gaming performance gap is hard to ignore for any gamer casual or otherwise.
