1060 is kind of the premium standard for laptop GPUs. The 1050 is solid, but limited by the 2 GB (they did create a 1050 ti which solves that problem at 4 GB). The 980 is solid, but the other 2 are...

But I'm not taking about mobile laptop version vs desktop version, like a 980m vs 1050. Can you tell me the difference between a 980m vs 1050m or the desktop 980 vs 1050? Thanks for the feedback.

pure performance wise, 980 is better than the 1060 or 1050
the naming convention follows generation + x0, where 80 is the best, and higher the x, the more shaders it has
the more shaders a gpu has...

The 1050 and 1060 may be desktop grade, but the 980M outperforms the 1050 by a pretty wide margin. The 1060 is marginally better than the 980M, but both the 1050 and 1060 should do much better for...

Is 4.9 lbs heavy? I mean, I've seen most configs with similar specs at 5.5+ lbs, outside of things like the Lenovo 720 and XPS series (which add $400+ more to this total).

I'm a newbie to graphics cards, what's better or more powerful, a GTX 980 or GTX 1050 or 1060? I know the 900 series is last gen & the 1000 series is current gen, which would suggest that the 1050 is...

For this generation, there's no difference in Nvidia's lineup between desktop and laptop. That is to say there's no difference between a 1050 desktop version and a 1050 laptop version. The laptop...
