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]
The 6GB AMD 5600 XT is a slightly cheaper, BIOS restricted, version of the 8GB 5700. The majority of 5600 XT’s should operate reasonably quietly as the single fan reference design was skipped for this release. Although the reference design is absent there are, however, several variants which range in performance between the GTX 1660S and the RTX 2060. Performance is more varied than usual because of last minute BIOS changes. The best versions of the 5600 XT (Sapphire Pulse) were distributed to reviewers (good luck finding one of these at MSRP). These models are capable, with BIOS updates, of performance that almost matches the RTX 2060. At $280 USD the higher performing SKUs could make sense for users that are happy to tinker with or return faulty hardware. During our GTAV testing reflection MSAA resulted in very poor, almost matt, reflection fidelity (the same bug appears on several Navi and Vega cards). Whilst playing Project Cars 2 our 5600 XT PC crashed several times. Given the vast number of software (and hardware) problems since day one of the 5000 series launch, it’s ironic that AMD’s latest 20.1.3 driver does not even offer an option to skip the installation of a boatload of new system shortcuts, gimmicks and other bloatware.
