So I am thinking to buy a decent laptop to push any game to 60fps at 3k at ultra presets. And I recently heard about nvidias new Volta GPUs, so here is the question,, should I wait for Volta mobile GPU to come , also the current pascal line up is supporting shader model 5.0 while shader model 6.0 is just on its way.... So should I wait or kill the buy button

Note:- I can wait for like august of 2018

gaming at 3k? What are you calling 3k? 1440p?

Pascal has been huge advances for mobile gaming due to using the full desktop gpus as they are so power efficient.

It will be long wait for Volta if you dont have anything to game on currently.

Yes i mean 1440p, and currently I have an MSI laptop with 880m and can game at 40fps on 1080p , the main concern is shader model as you know the latest games would tell"this game requires shader model 6.0" as happened back in 2009 for SM5.0.
