The opposite. NOTHING. Nothing was going on with the 2070-2080s. Other than the higher power use and higher thermals (due to power) the performance gain has been very incremental with the Max-Q implementation. (Max-Q is like desktop-grade chip but slightly toned down, less performance than the desktop counterpart. 5-10% perf. hit) Hence not a lot of purchasers and/or manufacturers prefer them in their laptops.
So far, only 2060 has been actually viable both performance and thermal/power-wise.
Honestly, I don't recommend buying gaming laptops to anyone :)
I know. Its inferior to a tower but i want something mobile. Where i can lounge on thr couch or in bed snd use it ir for when i travel. Before coronavirus i used to fly a lot. I want something mobile. Hence the laptop. Im not a super hardcore gammer that needs to have 4k but i do like mods for enhanced graphics and i want something that wont run into requirements issues with new games coming down the line in three years or so. I can't afford to buy or upgrade a computer often so i need the purchase to last four or five years. But i also move around a lot and need mobility. So im at a conundrum.
If you have a nice internet speed on the go, cloud gaming services (such as Nvidia GeForce NOW) have been gaining traction. Maybe check those? Worst case scenario, go with a laptop that has an RTX 2060.
Cool. I shall keep that in mind. I plan on doing a build. A lot of times ill be away from wifi or internet so its gotta be able to stand alone on its own.
Thank you btw for taking the time to explain all this to a noob like me. I appreciate it.
