imo quite worth, i've been thinking about that too before i've decided to take the 970.

if you can afford, why not? cause the graphic card will be soldered hence cant be change in the future.

and after looking at performance difference, there's quite a big gap between the 970 and 960.

and again, depends on what games you're playing also.

I think if i am not mistaken since illegear is custom
PrinceJ has done upgrades for soldered gpu. My guess limitation mobo bios etc to support that gpu.
Guessing here on the later part.. since unlocked gpu bioses are different for each notebooks eventhough there are the same gpu.

970m is a true desktop grade gpu. Equivalent to a gtx770 . Faster that a stock desktop 960.

Im going for 960M only, no money no talk sweat.gif But i will throw in a lot of other small additions like a bump to 16GB RAM, IC Diamond Thermal Compound, etc.

I want to play games like GTA5, but i wont be pushing the graphics high. medium also can ady. The main reason i want this machine is RAW photo editing and heavy multitasking.

I'm speaking as a 980M user (Illegear RS-15, now no more sold, replaced by the more powerful D-series T_T ),

the 970M > 960M in many ways.

the 980M = 970 desktop, but if you're daring you can overclock it to be on par with 980 desktop.

970M = 70-80% of 970 desktop. Slight overclock will be able to outperform stock 970, especially with the fact that 970M comes in two flavours, 3GB (not some lame ass 3.5GB+512MB) and 6GB variant, therefore it does not have desktop 970's Archilles's Heel issue.

Hey guys, anybody familiar with routers ? I need two router,
One for a house with average 5 users (laptop+phone) streamyx 8mbps package.

Another a house with 2 users streamyx 2mbps

I game quite a lot hence, the ping matters to me a lot, would like to avoid lag if possible. (Dont have unifi option in my area sad.gif )

Vram doesnt give you gain .. The 6gb n 8gb variant of 970m n 980m doesnt make sense as ure still limited by gpu grunt power.

970m oced=770>960
980m oced<970=780ti
980m needs a 30-40% oc to be close to a stock 980.
The prob with 980m .. You can game ultra setting on 1080p but it just cant do very high settings@1440p.

This is based as a former titan black sli & 780ti sli user..

But ...Then again this was a first time i ever bought a gaming laptop. I was literally shocked how far mobile gpus has come. I dont trust reviewers in general but pascal mobile gpus will be atleast 20-30% improvement on this.

990m>980m sli >980.. Bless the dude who gets this gpu. i am guessing this will be the first pascal gpu.

My setup a bit pricey but advise ya just get a asus ac 5ghz router.
So far on unifi routers i find them the best. For wifi aps.. apple airport extreme/express.
But end of the day ure gonna have ping issues with streamyx.. So theres just so much you can expect.
