Hey guys,

Been looking at the new laptop graphics cards and was wondering about the potential for CPU bottlenecking? While the laptops with 1080s all come with a desktop grade CPU, the 1070 and 1060 models don't. The highest they tend to go is an i7 6700HQ (which I have in my current laptop so I know a fair bit about it). They have some pretty impressive benchmarks with those GPUs but I am wondering if that translates to real world with a weaker laptop CPU. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be appreciated.
 
Hm. I don't think any laptop CPUs from the 6 series would bottleneck them to a noticeable point on most laptop displays. Now a 4k external monitor we might see some performance impact. Maybe we can make a push for more desktop CPUs inside laptops too???
