The GTX 1660 Super has a launch price of just $230 USD with comparable performance to the $280 USD 1660 Ti. The 1660 Super has 14 Gbps GDDR6 (versus 12Gbps GDDR6 for the 1660 Ti and 8Gbps GDDR5 for the 1660). The 1660 range of cards sit in the sweet spot for many gamers because they offer superb 1080p EFps in popular titles and they are relatively hassle free in terms of noise, compatibility and stability. The 1660S also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. Shop prices will determine which 1660 series card represents the best value over time but at today's prices the 1660 Super effectively undercuts the 1660 Ti by $50 USD thus challenging the RX 590 in terms of overall value at 1080p. The next step up from the 1660S would be to the $325 RTX 2060. [Oct '19GPUPro]
1070 Max-Q better card than 1080 Max-Q for many reasons.
Here are some facts.
1060 Max-Q is 11% slower than 1060 Mobile but 53% faster than 1050ti Mobile.
1070 Max-Q is 18% slower than 1070 Mobile but 25% faster than 1060 Mobile.
1080 Max-Q is 12% slower than 1080 Mobile but 0% faster than 1070 Mobile.
1080 Max-Q is only GPU that is not faster than its lower tier mobile GPU.
1080 Max-Q is 18% faster than 1070 Max-Q
1070 Max-Q is 52% faster than 1060 Max-Q
1070 Max-Q has much higher performance jump from its lower tier Max-Q card.
Based on Asus Zephyrus GX501VI and GX501VS reviews,
1080 Max-Q temperature goes up to 80°C on load, whereas
1070 Max-Q temperature goes up to 70°C on load.
In which it gives 1070 Max-Q a headroom to overclock, reducing performance difference with 1070 mobile and 1080 Max-Q, while
1080 Max-Q will throttle if overclocked.
To conclude
Due to the nature of 1080's high TGP, Max-Q version of 1080 has worst efficiency, performing much like a 1070 card.
1070 Max-Q a smarter choice for the Max-Q Laptop for its performance efficiency and better acoustic. [Jan '18nday76]
