Hello everyone

 

I know that FSX is CPU intensive which is why desktops are highly recommended. But, I really prefer laptops due to their easy transportation capabilities and spacewise. I am interested in two laptops. I intend to run PMDG 777 and 737.

The only major difference is the GPU. The first one has GTX 960M (which is cheaper) and the second has a GTX 970M. 

 

Anyone have an idea if the difference of these graphic cards will have a noticeable different FPS count? If yes, about how much of a difference?

 

Thank you

I doubt there will be any noticeable FPS difference. The laptop CPU is going to be the limiting factor in either case.
