Why is the GPU clock speed so low under stress test though? A 960M should be able to achieve much higher than that.

I meant for the GPU clock speed, it's only running at 540MHz/2500MHz.

Isn't the 540Mhz the one that hits 1097 ~ 1202?

The 960m wasn't a very good card to begin with. It is only average when compared to all the current mobile cards and near low tier when compared with the desktop equivalents.

Still it's good enough for most modern games if you can live with lower graphics quality. I use an 860m, still able to play Doom with full 60fps at 1680x1050 with med graphics and AA set to the lowest.

You pay for what you get I guess. If you're going to sell it off, better do it before the 1060 starts retailing commercially.

I think it's definitely going to be above 5k for the 1070 and 1080 gpus. For the 1060 it's kind of difficult to judge at the moment as the predecessor, the 960m was relatively affordable, though shirogawawa says there is one coming for 7k and he's rarely wrong about the prices.

The 970m and 980m costs significantly more than the 960m even now. You can't get a 970m laptop for less than 5k at the moment.

the 1060 is a major leap in performance from the 960m. I'm not surprised it is priced that way.

Though I think the price for a 1060 is kind of justified. It may be a replacement for a 960m but the 1060 outperforms the 970m by a large margin and in some cases it is even better than a 980m. The price of 980m laptops now is still around 7-9k. Pretty worth it getting the 1060 if you ask me.

I'm pretty impressed nVidia closed the gap so quickly.

Actually no one said what is replacing who. Those are things that we came up on our own. Everyone's saying that cause of the xx60, 70, 80 model but this is a whole new architecture. Also if you're saying the 1060 is replacing the 970m, why is it the price has to drop down to the 960m?

Maybe you don't realise this but the mobile GPU and the 1060 for laptop is totally in a different class. The 1060 you get in the laptop is only slightly weaker than the desktop counterpart. If you're expecting prices to remain stale with new technology being introduced, you're going to have to wait for a long long time before it reaches affordable prices. Enthusiast level gaming laptops have never been cheap. It's not going to change now.

I think he meant Thunderbolt port.

The options available for laptops with the thunderbolt port is kind of limited at the moment.

Most of them are also part of gaming laptops, which already cost so much, its probably going to be the same as buying a laptop with a 1050/1060 in it.

I think this is only applicable if you have an old laptop, maybe dating back 4 to 5 years or more. Newer laptops no longer come with the express card slot.

Bawa bertendang bro. There is a GTX 1050 for the laptop coming out soon. That should be more in line with the prices we're used to for 960M or 970M laptops (hopefully).

From preliminary reviews its somewhere a bit better than the 970M.

Oops you're right. I rechecked the source, it is for desktop only. Sorry for the confusion guys.

Everything in it is last gen technology though.

1050's might be a while more. Until now the information about it is all rumored only. If it were true, maybe the first laptop we will see with 1050 in it will be early next year.

The rumoured 1050ti is supposed to be equivalent to a 970M so it should be safe to say, if there were a 1040 that it will be somewhere between the 960M and 950M. Have to wait for it to be announced though if you're going down that path, why not just get a 960M instead? The pascal chips are not going to be cheaper than a 960M even if they offered the same level of performance.

1050/1050ti confirmed. Looks like on the desktop side, its equivalent to the 750/750ti series. With those specs, it's performance on the mobile space will be quite similar to the 960m.

Kinda hoped it would touch closer to the 970m.

The 1050Ti reviews have been flooding in. It looks like the 1050Ti has very similar performance to the GTX 960 desktop model and slightly better performance than the 970M.

I think those waiting for it might be happy to be getting something close to the 970M. Judging from how little performance drop off the mobile chips have now, I think the performance will be exactly like the 970M.

Now here's to hoping they're affordably priced.

Probably not. The 1050ti is in a different league from the 1060 3/6GB. Maybe they will open a new market segment? The ideal price will be putting it at the same price of the current 960M.

Who is that from? For that price you might as well go for a 1060. 6k for a 1050 laptop s way too expensive.

Huge. You can go to youtube to search for comparison videos of the 1050ti and 1060 3GB. The results of the comparison is similar to comparing the 1050Ti to a 1060 6GB. The 1060 outclasses the 1050Ti in every way.

Which one?
