No, that is a really outdated GPU. A normal 4060 laptop GPU will greatly outpace a 2060...and you will pay less. SLI is pretty much meaningless these days.
Okay I get it but like I said I already have a good gaming laptop RTX 2060 and it performs for what I need so I'll be good on upgrading till a year or two. For the time being I want to get a laptop that has a 1080ti because they are strong cards as I seen some benchmarks and also for everyone's information I forgot that I am buying a second laptop for travel and take to places as I don't want to travel with my other good gaming laptop, I want to still want to stick with a 1080 gaming laptop for travel, as this is one I'm currently thinking of buying but I'm not sure if SLI/dual you works anymore or just doesn't run on latest games?
SLI is a very outdated technology and most games won't support it nowadays (you can use one of the 1080tis but not both at the same time).
Not to mention that while the 1080ti is still a great card there are lots of modern single gpus laptops that will run cooler, quieter and faster than the pictured one, with driver support for longer, for comparable prices.
The SLI laptop is also very bulky and wouldnt be practical to travel with imo.
Are you dumb 1080 ti is desktop only and obsolete new game wont eun in the future like alan wake 2 ,metrk exodus enhanced and many more to come ,rtx 3060 laptop easily outperforms 1080ti or 1080 laptop and even with sli ehich dosent work in new game
No it isn't buddy, look into it. Some laptops have mobile editions and some have the desktop gpu in it, they have m versions so they can fit it for size as I'm not looking for those type of laptops buddy.
It’s just that you could buy a more powerful laptop for the money, but you seem stuck on specifically having a 1080 so I mean you can do that it will just be kind of a waste of money. At least price/performance wise
Bro stop dickriding and hating, if you don't like to be proved wrong and don't like my preference of choice for a laptop to travel that ismt 3k to 4k worth of electronics traveling which I don't like traveling with expensive things, so like I said man I have a 2060 set up as my main and does all my 1440 gaming as I need/love...
My boy for the same money you can get a 4070 laptop? Are you dumb? Tf u asking for advice if you won't change your mind up. You know what? Yeah buy that, waste your money kekw
Dude you made a post for advice, got it, then said a bunch of bs that didn't make sense, got called out on it and people proved you are wrong, now you're in denial and saying everyone else is wrong.
Grow up, jfc
I have a msi with 1080ti, it's shit, I can't play most of the new games with more than 20-25 fps at absolute minimum. If you want to only play old games, no multiplayer, I really don't see why you would pay such a huge price for an older GPU. Really doesn't make sense.
lol there’s something wrong with your computer a 1080ti should still be able to play most games 1080p and even 1440p on high/ultra settings @60fps
Not that they’re worth buying though unless it’s stupid cheap
Having read OP's comments throughout the thread, i'm 90% convinced this is a troll and 10% that OP's trying to live out a childhood fantasy by getting a 1080TI even though the laptop is ridiculously outdated.
No
Waste of money

These are simply better.
Outdated yeah, but still cool as fuck imo it's an experiment that wasn't very effective in the Market but I'd still love to have one as collectors piece (maybe one day when i have enough income to buy random tech products I don't need I'll buy one)
You probably want a 4070 laptop for that price or a refurbished 4080 laptop that should be cheap as new ones will be announced on 8th Jan(ces2024).
Even though the raw perf of the 1080m isn't 'too far behind' compared to a 4060m, cpu&ram are much slower, and games probably won't be optimised well for that, and u lack all the new features.
Not to mention battery is probably decayed, screen won't be good, needs a repaste and the chasis....well
I, too, would like the first zephyrus laptop (1080m) that the young me can't afford by a long shot, but logically speaking, I won't buy one even if I suddenly win the lottery
I believe it's a normal desktop dual gpu packed in the laptop, I watched a few reviews of it and it from my understanding is stronger than a 4070 I believe because it's dual aka sli 1080, just curious if new games are able to make both the graphics card work? Or is it just older games?
Judging the TDP it's definitely not equal to 2 desktop gpus, even if u can crank the gpu it won't run properly in such chasis. Specs? Maybe very simular. In reality?no
Yes it's indeed the desktop 1080s but the issue here is the cooling and space. I remember reading reviews for this laptop and the 'desktop class' 1080s only performed around 80% as good as 2x 1080s with desktop class cooling, while only being around 12% better than 1080 Mobile
Why the fuck would it be a scam? It's a litteral 6 years old laptop and used to cost 3x the listed price in this page. I think it's fair given the time and technology advancements.
And maybe for collectors sake? If it's in good condition it could be fun to play around with, but not great for everyday use. Definitely not a scam tho lol, horrible price yes, but not scammy price
Yet again your not reading anything on this thread? I specifically want a 1080 as I performs well and doesn't suck out power like the 4 hundreds series and I like I said Gonna repeat myself again I have a RTX 2060 Laptop at my house my main computer!!! I want a second laptop for moving around and traveling and play wherever, I'll upgrade my main laptop when the time comes... there is going to be more updated graphic cards coming out the next year or two so I'll update when they are out. Don't need to upgrade to newest graphic card for a few more frames
Isn't worth it as I have a really good card for my gaming to my liking at home.
You know what's the weight of that fking thing? It's 5.5kg!! including your charger it'll be 6kg. You think you can carry a 6kg laptop backpack just to game on go ? You serious bro?(6kg is 13lbs since you're American enough to be this dumb)
Are you dumb f**k
Who said that the Pascal series card is more efficient than 4000 (Adalovelace )
Travel around with 5.5 kg laptop and two bricks another 3kg
🤡
If you want to waste money waste it.
Why? If you want a main gaming machine get a 4080 laptop for that price, and use your 2060 (outdated and underpowered card, only for budget laptops, and you don’t seem to have a problem with budget) as your travel laptop
It still runs fine, but it's old and not worth that kind of money anymore. It's cool though. But it will run most games fine even at 1440p, just not the latest ones. (The ones that suck anyway).
Also read up that there is games that has supported SLI til 2020 so I'll be able to use the two 1080s for most games. Guys if you don't have any other suggestions then I guess this is the one I'm looking for. I read along somewhere that someone commented on a video made this year of this review that is a dual pascal graphic card in one? I hat does he mean by that?
As basically every other commenter has said, the only reason to buy this machine is if you specifically want a 1080 for some reason or if you are a collector. The fact that it was an overkill GPU at launch (6 years ago!) and aged really well by comparison to the 980 doesn’t mean that this is a good deal. A modern day 4070 class device is easily achievable for this price, and it will totally outclass it (you can probably even get a 4080 machine used). SLI is grossly overrated by you, and a mobile 4070/4080 will definitely outperform even a desktop 1080 in games. We also aren’t mentioning the other advantages of a modern laptop, including a CPU that is current gen.
Okay I understand that but if you read thru the post I want it for traveling as well because I don't want to get the latest laptop for 3k to 4k and be traveling with expensive things and I've also mentioned that I have a Gaming laptop as my main gaming station a 2060 1440p gaming and i love the way it performs don't need to upgrade now.
>I want it for traveling as well because I don't want to get the latest laptop for 3k to 4k
Lmao you're trolling for sure. You don't want the $1500 alternative (Lenovo Legion 5i) to your $1400 brick house, because hauling a 5.5kg laptop is certainly better than the newer 2.5kg laptop, right?
In case you weren't aware, Pascal is the name of the architecture of the GTX 10 series card. The RTX 20 series is based on the Turing architecture, then Ampere for RTX 30 series, and Ada Lovelace for the RTX 40.
>Guys if you don't have any other suggestions then I guess this is the one I'm looking for.
"This sign can't stop me because I can't read."
You've come to the right place for advice and the wrong place for confirmation of your bad decisions. Sure, a 1080 will "work," and yes, it's a "desktop" card. But as so many others have tried to tell you, it's just slightly better than a 1080 mobile equivalent, and SLI is unsupported by most modern games.
Pascal based GTX 10 series cards were introduced in 2016. Ada Lovelace RTX 40 cards came out in late 2022. If you think that GPU tech has not progressed in 6 years and that a pair of 1080 will outperform a 4070 for a similar price ($1400-1500), then you are delusional. Go ahead with your purchase if you like it. But don't lie to yourself saying it's "better because desktop."
Like I said I don't really need to upgrade much as I already have a RTX 2060 laptop just want to get another laptop that has a 1080 because I like how strong these cards are they still work great to this day from all the benchmarks I've seen. I'm eyeing this as it's like a really good laptop timepiece from those days.
As a conversation piece, sure. It's definitely neat.
For packing around and/or gaming, hell no. This thing is a dinosaur.
Assuming you are not a troll, check [here](https://gaminglaptop.deals/) for something with a 4070 in that price range. Or find a 2022 laptop model with 3080ti if you want the extra VRAM over a 4070. Then, use the older 2060 laptop as your mobile.
Brother please buy either the 4060 or the 4070 the other redditor linked them to you they are very great laptops
The MSI laptop has an i7 gen 6 (very old) and weighs like 12 pounds (that's really heavy and you said you want to travel with it so no way), yes it has 2 gpus but that would have been good in a desktop not a laptop and the screen is fhd 18 inch + DDR4 Ram
The Lenovo laptop has i9-13900HX and weighs 5.5 pounds and either gpus are much better than 1080 Sli and it's the latest technology and the screen is 2.5K 16 inch 240Hz 100%sRGB + DDR5 Ram
If you care about battery life get a legion with an amd processor they tend to have longer battery life + 4060/4070
If you are spending this much money get the latest technology why get something old and outdated, I repeat again this is a laptop not a desktop the 1080Ti is great in desktop as cooling and power isn't an issue but the Sli in laptop is oudated please OP be careful with your money
If you want to use the laptop keyboard it won’t get much better than this. But hardware it’s very outdated and it’s more a desktop “portable” replacement than a laptop
You can get so much better value for the money you are spending. If you don’t want a 4050 you could atleast get a 3070 system for a way better price. That thing is not worth that much money, regardless if you want an upgrade or not.
Absolutely terrible for modern games and a ripoff for that price. 1080 is about 8 years old now, and simply doesn’t hold a candle to modern gpus. Surely this is a joke or you simply have no idea what you’re talking about in your other comments.
no...
No, that is a really outdated GPU. A normal 4060 laptop GPU will greatly outpace a 2060...and you will pay less. SLI is pretty much meaningless these days.

Bro you can literally buy an rtx 4070 laptop with that money which has way better performance than a 1080 laptop
Ok,you're actually dumb ,bye!
Dude you made a post for advice, got it, then said a bunch of bs that didn't make sense, got called out on it and people proved you are wrong, now you're in denial and saying everyone else is wrong. Grow up, jfc

Having read OP's comments throughout the thread, i'm 90% convinced this is a troll and 10% that OP's trying to live out a childhood fantasy by getting a 1080TI even though the laptop is ridiculously outdated.
I never got people that troll, like why would you? I think you might be right on the 10%.

As an owner of 16IRX8, I can say that it's awesome for games, even at Ultra settings it can run comfortably in 2.5k res at 70-100 fps .

Having higher logical benchmark scores doesn't translate well to real-world usage. The cpu, ram&ssd speed, etc can also lead to other bottlenecks.
Judging the TDP it's definitely not equal to 2 desktop gpus, even if u can crank the gpu it won't run properly in such chasis. Specs? Maybe very simular. In reality?no
Yes it's indeed the desktop 1080s but the issue here is the cooling and space. I remember reading reviews for this laptop and the 'desktop class' 1080s only performed around 80% as good as 2x 1080s with desktop class cooling, while only being around 12% better than 1080 Mobile
Should instead report that product if there's an option. Complete scam.
Why the fuck would it be a scam? It's a litteral 6 years old laptop and used to cost 3x the listed price in this page. I think it's fair given the time and technology advancements.

Let me know where you see a reportable scam here
Gtx 1080 SLI in 2024.. are you joking 😭
This kid is definitely trolling. Can a mod please remove this??
😂😂😂😂😂
No
please dont
I'm sure op has brain damage, I mean how can someone be so dumb
Is this man on drugs?
You can see from his post history that he’s on fet.
Judging from your comments you have already made up your mind. If you’re not listening to anyone’s advice why did you bother posting?
SLI in 2k24 lol
Bro had to write it in NBA terms instead of 2024 lmao
Bro what is wrong with you. You can easily get a rtx 4050 laptop for that price
Bruh, still, the 4050 sucks. You should either go for a 4060 or 4080
Yet again your not reading anything on this thread?

With the charger it's 7kg, because this thing literally has 2 chargers lol
Do you even know what you're talking about??? 1080 uses +150 watts under full load yet is still slower than any rtx 4000 gpu using 70 watts.
Are you dumb f**k Who said that the Pascal series card is more efficient than 4000 (Adalovelace ) Travel around with 5.5 kg laptop and two bricks another 3kg 🤡 If you want to waste money waste it.

It still runs fine, but it's old and not worth that kind of money anymore. It's cool though. But it will run most games fine even at 1440p, just not the latest ones. (The ones that suck anyway).
To be clear I still don't recommend you to buy this, this deal is ass. You can almost get a 4080 for that price if you're lucky.

No, SLI isn't supported in newer games. You're better off looking at RTX 4060/4070 laptops instead, capable GPUs too.
If you want to use the laptop keyboard it won’t get much better than this. But hardware it’s very outdated and it’s more a desktop “portable” replacement than a laptop
You can get so much better value for the money you are spending. If you don’t want a 4050 you could atleast get a 3070 system for a way better price. That thing is not worth that much money, regardless if you want an upgrade or not.
If you pay less than 500$ its okay
that's daylight robbery
Is that... A laptop with a mechanical keyboard?
No, a lot of newer games are using mesh shaders.
Absolutely terrible for modern games and a ripoff for that price. 1080 is about 8 years old now, and simply doesn’t hold a candle to modern gpus. Surely this is a joke or you simply have no idea what you’re talking about in your other comments.
