GTX 980M and GTX 1060M to buy who?

Why GTX 980M and GTX 1060?

First, we need to talk. Nvidia GTX 10 series, Nvidia GTX 10 system alone is not only in the core structure of the update, at the same time in the process technology update, double update Let this generation of unique performance promotion is very obvious, this is to let everyone pay attention to.

At the same time, Nvidia in the GTX 10 series mobile version of the name also canceled the previous "M" End of the way, directly using the desktop side of the same call, and there is no suffix, that is: a new generation in the notebook is also called GTX 1060. This is the name, because the NVIDIA GTX 10 series mobile version alone in performance and desktop side of the same model alone very close, but slightly reduced frequency.

Through the Gpu-z data screenshot shows that although GTX 980M in Cuda unit number, video memory bit width/capacity, etc. leading, but GTX 1060 in frequency to be more than a chip.

Therefore, the earlier rumors of the desktop end of the GTX 1060 can be GTX 980 UNIQUE statement is also extended to the mobile end, then the mobile version of GTX 1060 and GTX between the performance gap between 980M, today we have to pass a number of tests to explain.

3DMark Run split test

At present, the most representative test software for the graphics card is 3DMark, so we first test the 3DMark software in several test modes, and look at their performance through the specific values.

In order to show the contrast diagram more easily, the author summarizes all the test scores in a table. This test is for time Spy, Fire Strike Extreme, Fire Strike three modes, and also lists the overall score for each test and the video card options. Among them, time Sky mode test for DX 12, while Fire Strike extreme mainly for the multi-GPU system, Fire Strike is a common high-performance solo run score test, three scenarios have high enough representativeness.

Through the test results, we can see that all the GTX 1060 Mobile version of the running data is higher than the GTX 980M, to fire strike model composite score difference of about 5.58%, and the graphics card score is a difference of 10.19%, from which to see GTX 1060 is really higher than GTX 980M in running the data. From the running point of view, mobile version of the GTX 1060 is indeed more than a chip.

Game Test

After reading the running data, I believe that we have a better understanding of the two, then we look at the performance of both of them are not running the data is consistent? The following author selects "The Tomb Raider 10" and "The subway 2033" two game's benchmark test, simultaneously also takes the current fire " Watch Pioneer for more extensive testing.
