That's actually quite surprising.
There's no way the boost clocks will be as consistent as their desktop counter parts but still impressive if that slide is true.

So weird that the laptop 1070 has more cores. But yeah, in response to hoojy, this is just one of those things that will be in large part dependent on design. Kind of like the core M CPUs in 2-in-one PCs... in theory, a core M can boost to perform like an i5, and do so all day long at the right temps, but of course they're meant for passively cooled devices, so the length of time they can boost can be drastically affected by either a great or remarkably shitty passive-cooling solution.
Not quite as drastic of a difference for the Nvidia GPUs, but I imagine you'll get a little more oomph from your 1080 if it's in a 9+-lb highly-ventilated, fan-happy tank of laptop vs. a more traditional footprint, 15", etc. But probably still within that 5-10% margin.
Off Topic: Seeing how the rebuild process is going for some of my friends and neighbors who flooded, I am in some ways kind of glad I wasn't insured. People dealing with slow contractors, ins. adjusters, mortgage company, etc... My in-laws' contractor just now got the drywall hung today, and will likely take another week+ to get the next crew in there. Meanwhile, me and my dad have 90% of my sheetrock hung, floated, and painted, 90% of the baseboards and door molding installed, and we've been able to make pretty worthwhile upgrades to my house for relatively little cost using that FEMA "emergency" money.
It's been a bitch for sure -- working a few hours a day for the last 2 months -- but we are still further along than a lot of people dealing with the red tape, people who flooded less than a foot like we did.

Question: My computer has two hard drives but doesn't recognize the second one. It's been formatted and partitioned and will show up on the boot menu, but nowhere else. I can't save anything to it. There's nothing on it but the computer won't boot without it. Wtf is going on?

First try this:
In Windows go to File Explorer options in Control Panel
Under view for Hidden files and folders, click on 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
Check to see if drive shows now in This PC
Since the drive is empty Windows may have hidden it.
IF the above doesn't work, try this:
Go to disk management
See if the drive you are having problems with shows the Disk # and says Unknown under the disk #
If it shows Unknown, the disk needs to be initialized.
Right click over where the disk # is and click Initialize Disk
Then reformat
For partition style always choose GPT if disk is over 2TB. For under 2TB you can choose either, but I always choose GPT in Windows 10. Choose MBR if you think you may ever need to connect the drive to an older PC.
Then reformat drive as simple volume and make sure it is assigned a drive letter.
After formatting, it should now show under This PC to use as storage.

Went ahead on ordered a fury nitro for the time being as a stop gap. Temps are reaching 90+ now and I'm too lazy to clean it. 
Last benchies are showing it 15-25 percent faster than my 290x. Not a great upgrade but the temps and noise will be much better, so it's worth it.
Paid 30 bucks so I can have it tomorrow. I'm such an impatient dumbass.

Anyone interested in a 980Ti with EKWBs? Can put air cooler back on. I still have one more for sale. I'll ship for $275.
Posted on 10/23/16 at 11:37 am to LSU Coyote
I'd possibly be interested. What about that x79 stuff?
Posted on 10/23/16 at 12:26 pm to bluebarracuda
I'm actually way more impressed with this minor upgrade than I thought I would be.
This fricking thing is a whisper compared to my old card.
Sure, the performance is only roughly 20% on average better than my old card, but GD, I can actually get rid of the frame cap that I used to reduce noise.
Better than I thought it would be.

Holding off until Skylake-E.
No need to upgrade.
Posted on 10/23/16 at 1:35 pm to LSU Coyote
Would you sell the 980ti for a lil cheaper without the block? I don't plan on doing any water cooling
Posted on 10/23/16 at 1:44 pm to bluebarracuda
No. Block comes free TBH.
About to post on eBay. I had both of them up but left for Vegas and had to cancel the auction a few backs.

Also... not a FPS fan but Battlefield 1 looks fckking amazing. Almost that experience in VR.

It looks good but spawns suck and only a few of the maps are fun. The rest of the maps blow which is surprising because I usually like all BF maps.

Got a buddy helping me with a build. Deciding to use his MSI 970 for a few months until I can buy a 1080. Only have about 1200 for the build. Would rather get a better CPU/MOBO and get the graphics card christmas time.
100$ seem fair for a used MSI 970 8gb?

That's a great price. I got my two 970s for $200 total and my gigabyte ITX 970 for $160.
$160-180 is the going price for them right now

All I need to hear. Haven't sniffed a desktop pc in half a decade, the hardware might as well be in arabic

What resolution are you playing at?
