Will an i7-7700hq bottleneck a GTX 1080 in a laptop?

I'm wondering if an i7-7700HQ will bottleneck a GTX 1080. reason I ask is because this is an AMAZING price for a 1080 laptop.

Thanks.

Top end processor. Top end graphics card. Why would you think there would be a bottleneck?

Because of this video. https://youtu.be/-xJjykSrm7Y

So... different processors are giving different results...

You're not going to experience any significant bottlenecks with that laptop.

Ok, good to know. If you had to say between this laptop and this one:

Which one do you think I should go with? I ask because the Predator has a 1080 and this one has a 1070 and at 1080p the difference looks negligible. (Not to mention that laptop has a freaking desktop processor)

Don't listen to london boy in the video, although processor is at 2.8ghz "when you get it" try overclocking it 3.4ghz.

Also the gtx 1080 msi includes inside this laptop is plenty of gaming power for what you want to do.
For 2000 dollar price tag I suggest you get it before the prices go back up again.

Oh, ok. Awesome. I thought the 7700HQ wasn't overclockable. Thanks!

No it will not. An i7 7700HQ won't bottleneck a GTX 1080.
