Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti for laptops specs, benchmarks leak

[HEXUS]

It appears to outpace the GTX 970M by approx 10 per cent.

Am I understanding it correctly...the mobile variant of the 1050 Ti is more powerful than the desktop variant? After years of understanding similarly named mobile counterparts are slower than the desktop equivalents why would they implement a naming structure like this?

LOL,its almost like what AMD did with Polaris 11 - mobile/embedded/professional versions of the GPU,seem better specced than the one we got in the desktop RX460.

Still if it boosts higher than the desktop one(assuming it does not overheat),thats better than desktop GTX960 level performance easily.

Frustration! The price for the 1060/1070/1080 laptops is simply far too high. You now have machines with 1xM.2. slot along with an OD and 1x2.5". What happened to all the super raid type stuff? Ah, yes, they will appear again in the 'next' revamp'.

In the U.K it's also annoying as Amazon is filled with Asus laptops with U.S. keyboards. That's annoying. No release date from the U.K. machines so that leaves Alienware, with their HOT machines, Gigabyte, HP and MSI.

Part of the issue,is AMD is not really competing as well in laptops which means Nvidia can kind of get away with charging more IMHO. There does seem to be some movement due to the RX460 and RX470 mobile cards,but I think needs AMD to get more designs into laptops for that to happen,so hopefully the rumours of improved Polaris 10 versions is true.

However,despite all of this I think laptop makers are missing a good chance - if they could push for more affordable gaming laptops with an external graphics box,I can see more and more people buying one over a desktop.

I know I would probably be interested.
