New laptop- upgrade from old

Delta Charlie · 21 Nov 2017 at 20:53

Got a MSI Apache two years ago with an I7 4720hq and a 970 gpu.

Saw an offer for new MSI with I7 7700hq and a 1060 gpu. Now I have looked at the hierarchy tables, but don't really know what values are required to notice a difference. Can anyone advise me if I will see a noticeable difference in the upgrade before I spend the cash?Thanks

Don't buy an MSI.

Link in my sig as to why.

I would recommend getting a laptop with a GTX 1070, there's a cracking gigayte deal on at the moment for £1,400 on hotukdeals - https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/gi...s-intel-i7-7700hq-139999-overclockers-2830454

I have a GTX 1070 in my AORUS laptop and it's amazing in comparison to my previous 980M.

£1400 is out of my price range. Highest I can go to is £1100. Spec in my op is going for £999

Ahhh, OK.

The 1060 will give you 70-80fps in new games like Need for Speed Payback, Call of Duty WWII, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Destiny 2 - link.

Wait for Friday and grab anything other than an MSI. Gigabyte, ASUS, even Alienware, Acer and HP before an MSI.
