The complete list of laptops with Nvidia GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 graphics

The complete list of laptops with Nvidia GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 graphics
By Andrei Girbea, last updated on October 6, 2023

This article is a complete list of gaming laptops with Nvidia Pascal GTX 1070 and 1080 graphics chips, with details on some of their important particularities, prices and links towards more in-depth reviews that will take your through all their fine bits and potential quirks.

If you want to jump straight to the lists, here’s the one of GTX 1080 laptops, and here’s the one of GTX 1070 options.

We’re covering all the options built on the full-power versions of the GTX 1070/1080 GPUs in here, including full-size machines and the few existing thin-and-light models.

If you’re however primarily interested in a slim and lightweight computer, you should also check out our article on laptops built on Nvidia GTX 1070/1080 Max-Q hardware, which is the lower voltage variant of the Pascal family, better suited for compact devices. That aside, quite a few portable gaming machines are also built on GTX 1060 graphics solutions, so you’ll also want to look over those options as well.

With Pascal Nvidia no longer makes dedicated mobile chips for laptops, but solutions closely derived from to their desktop architecture, just slightly lower-clocked and tweaked in order to meet lower TDP requirements.

This makes them overall considerably faster than the older Maxwell Mobile chips (GTX 970M and 980M), with increases in the 80 to 200% range, and just about 5-10% slower than their desktop counterparts. That makes the Pascal gaming notebooks much more interesting for those of you that are looking primarily at performance.

What to expect in terms of gaming performance from a GTX 1080 laptop

What to expect in terms of gaming performance from a GTX 1080 laptop

Pascal laptops are not just significantly faster in games and VR, they also incorporate high-resolution screens with GSync support and up to 144 Hz refresh rates, various storage options, up to 64 GB of RAM, excellent RGB keyboards, Thunderbolt 3 and HDMI 2.0 ports, and pretty hefty batteries in most cases.

Graphics aside, you’ll find GTX 1070/1080 notebooks mostly built on Intel Core H, K and HK (overclockable) platforms, with the latter Core i7 and i9 six-core Coffee Lake H variants offering a significant performance boost over the older quad-core Skylake and KabyLake lines. So if you’re buying a high-end gaming laptop these days, you should aim for a Coffee Lake configuration.

Nvidia GTX 1070 laptops

The GTX 1070 Mobility chips are built on the Nvidia GP104 core, get 8 GB of DDR5 memory, have a standard clock speed of 1442 MHz (Boost up to 1645 MHz), a memory clock of 8008 MHz, 256 GB/s memory bandwidth, 2048 CUDA cores and a TDP of around 120 W. Some laptops offer dual GTX 1070 chips in SLI, while other offer factory-overclocked variants.

You should expect full-power GTX 1070 notebooks to start at around $1700. If you’re interested in the thinner and more compact variants built on GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics, like the highly appreciated MSI GS65 Thin, Gigabyte Aero 15x or Razer Blade 15, check out this detailed article over here, as well as our post on the best thin-and-light gaming laptops of the moment.

Performance wise, GTX 1070 laptops are able to handle all the recent games at FHD resolutions and maximum details, but also UHD resolutions on Medium-High settings. Compared to the desktop 1070, the mobile version offers 5-10% lower scores in benchmarks and games. However, compared to Maxwell mobile chips, the GTX 1070 laptops are roughly 65-75% faster than the older GTX 980M builds and about 120-130% faster than the GTX 970M models.

Nvidia GTX 1080 laptops

The GTX 1080 chips are built on the GP104 core, get 8 GB of DDR5 memory, have a clock speed of 1506 MHz (Boost up to 1733 MHz), a memory clock of 8008 MHz, 320 GB/s memory bandwidth, 2560 CUDA cores and a TDP of around 150 W. Some laptops offers dual GTX 1080 chips in SLI, while other get factory-overclocked variants.

Expect GTX 1080 notebooks to start at around $2200. If you’re interested in the thinner and more compact variants built on GTX 1080 Max-Q graphics, like the Asus ROG Zephyrus and Acer Triton series, check out this detailed article over here, as well as our post on the best thin-and-light gaming laptops of the moment.

The Mobility GTX 1080 chips offers very similar scores in benchmarks and games to the desktop GTX 1080 solution. On the other hand, compared to the Maxwell mobile chips, the mobile GTX 1080 is miles ahead, showing 125% bumps over the GTX 980M chip and 180% improvements over the GTX 970M. SLI variants are of course even faster, and these are recommended for high-frequency UHD screens and multi-monitor setups. The single 1080 notebooks will handle most modern games at UHD resolutions and High graphics settings.

That’s about it for now, but like I said earlier, we’re constantly updating the list.

Bottom point, Nvidia Pascal is a major update for gaming laptops. GTX 1080 machines are now capable of running most titles on 4K resolution with high details, and if you want ultra-details or want to power multiple monitors at once, you can opt for the few solution with dual SLI GTX 1080 chips.

GTX 1070 models are still faster than the high-end GTX 980M notebooks of the previous generation, while selling for less. They offer excellent gaming performance on FHD resolutions and will be able to run most titles on UHD panels as well, but you’ll have to trim down details to medium.

Last but not least, if you don’t have $1500 or more to spend on a gaming laptop and still want something capable of running modern games on FHD resolutions, the Nvidia GTX 1060 laptops are the ones for you. They start at around $1300 and we’ve covered them in another post. You can also check out our detailed article on ultraportable gaming notebooks in case you want a thin-and-light computer, or get in touch in the comments section if you have any questions or anything to add to this article.

    FYI: I think you have the batteries for the MSI models reversed. The GT72VR comes with an 83Wh battery (msi.com/Laptop/GT72VR-6RE-Dominator-Pro-Tobii.html#hero-specification) where the GT73VR comes with 75Wh (msi.com/Laptop/GT73VR-6RE-Titan.html#hero-specification).

    Looking at the specs on various sites it looks like the MSI GT73VR only has G-Sync on one UHD variant, FHD 120hz variants don’t seem to offer it.

    Is that why we have yet to see Asus release any G752VS variants with a 120hz panel ?
    Maybe the implementation isn’t going so well, asus is still trying, msi just went to market… (random speculation warning)

      GT73VR with 120Hz variant does support G-Sync out of the box, MSI doesn't list this feature either by mistake or some unknown reason. I'm using GT73VR @ 120Hz @ GTX1080 and screen does support G-Sync.

      There’s nothing on Asus’s website and I don’t have any official info on it, but I did look at the GL702VT in a previous article here on the site and I know they’ll have a GL702VM version for sure, with 1060 graphics, but I also expect for a VS model, given they offer the same on the 15-inch model. There’s always a chance I’m wrong,

        Was updated during the first 3 days of this very year. Surprisingly no one's talking about it, and its not even been in CES 2017 as far as CES reporters are concerned.

        It also doesn't have the third fan as the VM model and sports a duo-copper heatpipe system compared to the tripple on the VM model which only has the 1060. More and more intriguing.
        asus.com/Notebooks/ROG-GL702VM/

        Had the VS come last year together or just after the 17 inch VM and the 15 variants, Asus would have had 1 more customer, and probably a lot more, but looks like they did not want to kill sales of their more beastly 17 inches. Bad move IMO with so much great competition in that segment since the GTX 10 series came out.

      To be frank, I mostly see the purpose of using external graphics through TB3 on a more portable computer with perhaps 1060 or 1050 graphics, when announced. The 1070 is already pretty powerful on its own, so unless you want to power a 4K external monitor, it might not be worth using a TB3 external graphics solution with a 1070 chip. At least imo.

      • Palomino

        September 5, 2016 at 1:37 am

        I see TB3 as a good future-proofing option down the road for what is a very expensive purchase.

        I think it’s extremely short sighted to write it off for top-tier GPUs right now, and I see this misguided approach come up a lot on other forums.

        In 3 years’ time, the 1070 will be the equivalent of the 1050 or 960m. But, your laptop will probably still be functional and fully working in every other way.

        Why wouldn’t you want the ability to just plug in a new GPU like a desktop when gaming from home, and still have something capable at lower settings for on the road gaming?

    So I came across this site trying to find my first gaming laptop after over a decade of building desktop rigs. What I absolutely needed was a 1440p GSYNC display at >60hz and a GTX 1080, both for less than $3,000 after configuring all the other parts.

    Seems to me that I've got only a single option, the AVANT P870DM2-G from AVA Direct. I mean, I'm not disappointed, it seems to have everything I need and within my budget, but is there any particular reason why none of their laptops made this list? Am I missing something when it comes to them or gaming laptops in general?

      It is on the list, that's identical to the Clevo / Schenker P870. There are a few of this type of computer builders that are using the same barebone and resell it under their brands, and I just missed AVA :)

That doesn't mean Asus won't probably offer a bigger ROG at some point, but a 24-inch one seems too big for a notebook imo. Perhaps something closer to the 20-21" segment, like Acer's Predator X 21. Just suppositions though.

    Any new news on the Asus GX800? I was hoping this would release this year considering this was announced some time ago. However the final specs on this has changed several times. So it's hard to know what exactly the final version will be. About all I know is that it apparently is going to have 2 SLI cooled GTX 1080's unlocked.

    Pretty much everything else I'm in the dark on. Getting kinda impatient I guess considering I am seriously considering this one. But don't want to bite until I have a solid release date. Not to mention some info on it's final version specs and such. Pretty soon it might not be worth it. Considering CES is just around the corner but we will see I guess. :/

    Such a shame that Aorus made the bonehead decision to leave TB3 off their latest generation. Would have given the Razer Blade Pro a run for its money. Who the heck approves a high end laptop not having a TB3 in late-2016/2017? Was an instant sale killer for me given I have equipment that requires TB3. Nice looking laptop, great profile and weight, great price, and great features other than the missing TB3. Shame.

Acer has vx15, another $800 laptop for the competition with slightly better hardware (ips screen etc.) I think u should strongly consider writing a new post for 1050/ti laptops as they are going to be really popular and most people are not willing to spend over $1500 for a laptop.

For example, man y of the 120hz panels are marketed as "IPS-like" but are in fact TN, so it would be helpful to have this clearly defined. Thanks again for the great list! :)
