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 '18 nday76]}

The widely anticipated (albeit currently not widely available) prosumer AMD Radeon VII is finally available. It features a next generation Vega 20 GPU which is based on a 7nm manufacturing process, compared to 14nm in the first generation flagship: the RX Vega 64. The Radeon VII has a massive 16GB of expensive high-bandwidth memory (HBM2) which offers a decent degree of future proofing and also makes it a good choice for memory hungry applications, however most current games do not require more than the 8GB that comes with both NVIDIA's RTX 2080 and AMD’s RX Vega 64. The Radeon VII has fewer cores than the RX Vega 64 (3840 vs 4096) but clock speeds have been boosted up to 1800 MHz compared to 1546 MHz in the RX Vega 64, the net result is 13.8 TFLOPS single precision computations (versus 13.4 TFLOPS for the RX Vega 64). On the negative side, the Radeon VII is designed with three cooling fans which can get noisy and early software drivers are reported to be buggy. Whilst there is a modest 16% performance advantage over the RX Vega 64, initial benchmarks indicate that the Radeon VII has an effective speed which is 6% short of the similarly priced RTX 2080. ^{[Feb '19 GPUPro]}
