@Fruper:
That is actually a great question about the glowing green logo on the outer lid. The ability to turn it on and off would be useful in professional settings. Unfortunately, there is no switch to deactivate the light even in the BIOS. Opting for the Mercury White color option would circumvent this issue.
Mercury White is a "limited edition" color and it is not available on all SKUs. Only the RTX 2060 SKU is available in Mercury White for now as Razer has not announced any plans as of this writing to expand the color.
There are no differences between the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 Max-Q SKUs other than GPU performance. The RTX 2060 is slower than the RTX 2070 Max-Q by about 13 percent in 3DMark Fire Strike.
@gm89uk:
The performance delta between the GTX 1070 Max-Q and RTX 2070 Max-Q increases at higher resolutions when the processing load becomes more GPU bound. When running the Time Spy benchmark at 2k resolution, for example, the RTX 2070 Max-Q is able to outperform the GTX 1070 Max-Q by about 45 percent. This isn't very helpful for SKUs with the 1080p panel, but it's important nonetheless for users who want to output to higher resolution monitors.
@Dalingrin:
We took your suggestion and reran the CineBench loop test on the Razer "Creator" Performance mode that supposedly increases CPU performance. Multi-Thread score settles at 960 points compared to 925 points on our original loop test.
