Choice of GPU for laptop

Recommended Posts

Hi

I am looking at  new gaming laptop with I7 10750H processor.  It has to be a laptop and my current rig (specs below) give quite acceptable performance in V5.

I have choice of GTX 1660 TI 6GB or for £100 more RTX 2060 6GB (not super).

A comparison I found says:

Bottom line: there is no clear winner here, but if you can swing it, the GeForce RTX 2060 is still the best upper midrange card (or lower high-end card) that we have seen since the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. This is especially true if you plan to play at 1440p. However, if you plan to only play at 1080p and/or need to keep the GPU budget under $300, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is a very close second.

I don't play other gaming. Just P3DV5 or MSFS 2020 (possibly)

Will I be playing at 1080p?

Will the RTX2060 make noticeable difference?

Thanks for any feedback

For a laptop for flightsim I'd still buy the best I could afford.

The 2060 is the superior card. For only £100 more I’d think it is worth it. Is it night and day? Probably not but your stuck with what you buy now since it’s a laptop.
