Your reviews are always top notch. I would recommend going a tiiiny bit more in-depth with the trackpads as a lot of people like myself use them for adobe products. General clickyness, ghost touch (when the mouse suddenly moves) and how it compares to the king of trackpads; the MacBook Pro. Most trackpads have a definite hinge feel because clicking them at the top require more force than clicking at the bottom. I’ve seen dozens of reviews on the ASUS Zephyrus G14 I bought and not one reviewer would talk of the trackpad like that.
You said it - 1660 ti really hits the sweet spot between value and performance. My own A15 is on the way from Amazon ✌🏻. Thanks for your efforts, really appreciate it🙌🏻
@@omarasif2068 Hey man, I bought RTX 2060 model instead for 95k... It's a beast, but I suggest you wait a lil till next year... rtx 3060 you can buy in laptop at same price... Nvidia just announced
Great Video as always! Considering the price difference, I find the 1660 Ti to be the winner here, but I wonder if the temps mean if you can squeeze a tiny bit of performance by using slight oc with afterburner? Anyway, keep it up!
Hey, here's another perspective on what to choose among these two, if you have the budget for 2060. If you're a computer engineer, looking for a machine that would allow you to do coding and a bit of machine learning, the tensor cores on rtx would help a lot which the 1660ti lacks. If you plan on streaming or something, more cores would also give you an advantage. I'm not promoting DLSS but it looks promising. I'd be glad if a laptop produces the same results (or better) 2-3 years after being bought for games by just turning DLSS on, considering that Nvidia is really committed to it. Spending the extra money does justify in the long run if you consider any of the use cases mentioned above. Hope this helps. I mention this because no reviewers while comparing laptop GPUs talk about longevity and the Tensor cores, the focus stays on how much % difference for performance you get for the extra money while there's more to consider. I'd be glad if Jarrod would talk about these too since there is an audience base that would like to know that too. Thanks.
FPS increase is tiny IMO, but I am curious about RTX exactly for this reason. Many ML experts suggest that 2060 has an large edge over 1660 Ti in NN training and I would be happy to see a review on that or related stuff.
@@andreipopescu7636 yes exactly. The thing is that the 2060 has tensor cores which are specifically built for that purpose while the 1000 series have none. That's why I commented this so that a programmer interested in learning ML in future doesn't make a bad choice. I found an article where the desktop 2060 and 1080ti were benchmarked for ML and the 2060 was almost identical or better in results.
The only real reason to prefer a RTX 2060 is the DLSS 2.0 that is very usefull when a game support it. The GTX 1660 ti is still the queen of price/performance in the gaming laptop market. We need the new RTX 3000 series for new options.
@@Sims64340 Don't use max Q for power comparison. They are cut back Tdp wise significantly compared to their standard mobile versions which can lead to worse performance
Thank you for the vid very informative as usual. I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Ryzen 7 4800 with a RTX 2060 and it's amazing my Rainbow Six Siege FPS is 268 average with 3.3ms GPU and 3.7 CPU times. I am running the latest Nvidia driver with Reflex.
Jarrod can you please review HP OMEN 15 AMD RYZEN EDITION. I have kept on hold the buying decision just for your review and verdict. You are a very trustworthy and reliable source for laptop review.
@@MegaYoooh the laptop or the GPU? Don't go for the laptop if you already have a pc because the sRGB range will disappoint you a bit.Wait for the HP Omen series or Lenovo Legion If u talkin bout the GPU you can go for the RTX unless you're on a super tight budget.Even then I'd suggest waiting for a sale.DLSS makes it worth it nearly providing 2x the frame rate of 1660ti
1660 Ti is impressive for the price to performance difference. I went for the 2060 however because of the edge in power, workstation loads and ray tracing.
Jarrod, great comparison...thanks for doing this. SUPER helpful stuff. As someone that is reasonably new to GPUs it's very difficult to understand the relative performance differences between all of the various Nvidia cards and their variants (much less AMD's cards). What I would LOVE to see is a chart that compares the performance levels of all of the various Nvidia cards (1650 thru 2080 including all of the variants...avg performance level and %gain versus it's successor). I realize that this would be difficult to do because of the need to try and keep all other variables the same.... so maybe this type of comparison would be more feasible to do on a desktop system by just changing the GPUs. At least this would give us some sort of baseline for the performance of all of the various GPUs. If I had my druthers I'd ideally want to see charts that cover 2 types of workloads: 1) Content Creation (using Adobe Premier, DaVinci Resolve Studio Edition and Davinci Resolve Free edition) and Gaming (maybe focused on more demanding games?). Having these type of charts as a baseline would give me some idea of the relevant performance comparisons between all the Nvidia cards. Armed with the performance comparisons I'd be able to make a more informed decision on whether it's worth it to move to the next level of GPU (e.g, will the bang for the buck be worth it). And of course having all of this data in a downloadable spreadsheet would be a great value add for your channel and good for you as well as it would be easy to update when new cards come along and you could just point people to that spreadsheet rather than having to respond to individual questions...so it would be a timesaver for you ultimately. Thoughts? Cheers
I went for the 166o Ti. My problem with the 2060: it's simply not fast enough for raytracing. Meaning, once this will be a common feature, the 2060 won't be able to produce high enough frame rates, so I'd still have to play without raytracing. The real alternative to the 1660 Ti (if I really wanted raytracing) would've been a 2070 Super, but that's a whole different price point.
thats the thing about the 2060 though. it has dedicated cores for ray tracing so it doesn't take as much of a hit. You also get dlss with it so its a win win. 1660ti is a great deal but i wouldn't buy one if a 2060 is also an option. gotta future proof
Thank you for making this video, you always somehow know exactly what I'm looking for online. I ended up getting a one year old laptop that was on sale at my local electronics store with a 2060 over a new laptop with a 1660ti because they were priced the same and the only difference was the ti had a 2020 processor. I think if they cost the same, even a year old 2060 can beat a new 1660ti.
Awesome video, very interesting to see that 1% lows were the big winner, not framerates so much. Would have been nice to cover any differences in features, as future thoughts are relevant unless you can afford to replace your laptop often. One thing, $200 is a lot of difference but with doubling of the SSD, this would account for much of that delta which I think needed to be better explained as it is not just $200 more for just the 2060. Keep it up loving this channel!
Was hoping you did this for the zephyrus g14, considering it has a lower wattage rtx 2060 and wanted to see how it handled games compared to it's gtx1650 ti.
Been a fan since a few months now. Have to say you make really detailed reviews and comparison videos, I'm sure it takes alot of time to make such videos. Great video and keep up the good work. Also, can you do review on the new HP Omen 15 2020 Ryzen laptop? It comes with the new Ryzen 4000H series and there are not much laptops with the new Ryzen chip.
Good video as always Jarrod, but I'm disappointed that you didn't mention one of the biggest strengths of the 2060 which is DLSS 2.0 - you don't have to enable Ray tracing to turn it on and it can give you way more fps on supported games (f.e. 20+ in "Control"). As I was buying a gaming laptop last year there was basically no difference apart from the price between mobile 1660ti and 2060 in the laptop of my preference (Acer predator helios 300) but now as an owner of the Helios with 1660ti, between the two cards I would go for a laptop with 2060 - the DLSS 2.0 makes it better in newer games and makes it certainly more future proof. You should definitely make a video on this feature in laptops!
i may be wrong, but it seems you forget to change the rtx 2060 - average to rtx 2060 - 1% low on the benchmark results. Beside that, great work! as laptop with gtx 1660 ti is most of the time $400 cheaper than rtx 2060 one, this really helped my decide! (i wanted to upgrade from i7 7700hq gtx 1060 so anything less than 1660ti is basically a side grade)
I am going back to college at the ripe old age of 37 and have been bouncing around the 1660ti or the 2060 for awhile now and I think for longevity’s sake I’ll just pony up the $200 for the 2060. Better in general but definitely in the future.
Thank you for sharing this. Please do the same comparo for hp omen 15, envy 15, zephyrus g14. I would also like to know how to recognize the 115w 2060 in the laptops as I am aiming for something able to handle both gaming and rendering workloads.
What about CUDA performance tests? For example, if I want a laptop not only for productivity but also for development, in this case, computer vision/machine learning models that could be accelerated by GPU. For some, this kind of tests could make up the difference in price
Is there any benefit to video editing applications between the two? Resolve is famously heavy on the GPU and Premiere is apparently using it more as well now.
I'm looking at that machine too, and wondering the same thing. However, there are other differences between the models where I live, with the 1660Ti model having a 1440P/60Hz screen, and the 2060 model being 1080P/120Hz and surprisingly being around $100 cheaper (although as usual, $400 more than it costs in the US...). If DLSS 2.0 works properly on the notebook 2060, then it shouldn't be too hard of a choice, although for work, I really like the extra pixels, but not sure 1440P non-scaled is a good idea on a 14" screen for work.
Hi Jarrod, Thanks again for an exhaustive comparison between different GPU options. I know you invest a large amount of time in the making of your videos & we the viewers deeply appreciate that, but will it be possible for you to have a comparison of GPU performance with variations in TDP for an RTX card(s). If you have already done that in a previous video, can you provide a link in the comment? Cheers for the great content as always.
I bought a TUF A17 with the 4800H and 1660ti combo, then taped over the vents (but also put some small holes in the tape to let some air escape), then put Raspberry Pi heatsinks over 0.5mm thermal pads over the VRMs, and a cheap SSD heatsink over the included 512GB SSD, then I used Ryzen Controller to set the 4800Hs TDP to 40W, and then used afterburner to keep the 1660ti at 1770mhz @ 793mV (6500MHz mem) All in all it resulted in a CPU that never goes above 93C (ambient temp at 32C), a GPU that never goes above 80C, and what seems like a pretty big FPS boost over leaving everything stock. If you don't mind tweaking, the A15/17 can be made really good with around 10 usd or so of extra stuff (the cost of my mods). CPU below 50% usage sustains an average clock of 4100MHz and under full load sustains around 3600MHz, nothing throttling. Anyway, great video as always and looking forward to the next!
In this case I'd go with the 1660 Ti. Simply because the higher temps worry me with the 2060 version. With other laptops I'd try and get a 2060 version. Is my worry about the temps correct though?
Hi Jarrod 🇦🇺🖐😊 another great review.....I’ve been recently looking to upgrade my 5 year old laptop to something with RTX graphics like my home pc, however after seeing the minute difference in performance between gtx and rtx models here, and the massive AUD price difference between the same spec’d laptops with these graphics cards.....I think im gonna hold out for new nVidia graphics cards and see what they’re like or hold out for price cuts on GTX models. GTX seems a much better performance and value proposition then the RTX in laptops and put the savings into additional storage etc. keep up the great work 👍😁
Hi Jarrod! Been subbed and a fan of your channel for 3 years+ now! Please answer me one question in your honest opinion. Intel i9 10900k Rtx 2080 super 8gb 4k screen 60hz, 25ms response time 64gb ram Getting the alienware area 51 m r2 tomorrow. Will this laptop be able to play most games with no issues?

@@goodnightchan669 Not at all. I've ran warzone gta and borderlands 3 so far. Max temps I've seen is 82oC. Fans area bit noisy to what im used to but they do a good job. Its a beast of a laptop
@@goodnightchan669 yeah it looks good to me. I'm only gaming on it not doing editing or photoshop things. Jumping from a 60hz to a 144 hz is pretty significant. I paid £1399 for mine in the UK. Yeah I could of paid less for a model thats slightly down the price range and to be honest I'm sure there's not that much difference between the 1660ti and the 2060 apart from Ray tracing ( which only applies to a few games) and around 5/10% frame increase. If you did pay for a lower model then im sure you won't be disappointed. I think 16 gb and 1tb of ssd is the way to go. Lots of reviews about it overheating and the poor screen but ( I've had it for 5 days now) I haven't had any problems. It comes with 1 year warranty anyway.
Currently playing The Witcher 3 on my Zephyrus G14 - R7, GTX 1660ti version - and getting ~94fps on high settings and ultra for texture mode, with the HD Reworked mod. CPU temp varies between 70-74⁰C and GPU 66-71⁰C after 2h of playing with the fans speed manually set to 40% max. Pretty good so far
great review!!! but i'd rather pay the extra 200 not just for ray tracing, but for dlss too, seeing that even on 1080p I can bump up more fps at an upscaled image
This might be an odd request, but think you could add Destiny 2 to the benchmarks? Been looking to see difference in performance on Destiny 2 played on laptop
TL;DR - If you have the cash for the performance boost of a 2060, get a 2060 variant. If you don't, the 1660ti will not fail to deliver, and will still perform solid.
Excellent video! In my case I require this laptop for design (fusion 360, solidworks, Blender, etc.) Would you recommend the 1660 ti for the price? Thanks!
Hey Jarrod! Are you planning to make a review on Razer Blade 15 base model 2020? Also there is a Clevo PC50, it should be already available in Australia as Metabox prime S. That’ll be great to see these reviews, thanks!
Considering most of the games I will play are just strategy games, the RTX 2060 doesnt seem worth it at ALL, since in my country the price of a laptop with RTX 2060 is about 20% more expensive than a laptop with GTX 1660 Ti. As a lot of people said, this has to be one of the biggest question for an average laptop buyer right now. Thanks for the video mate!
I heard that you're getting the HP Omen 15 AMD with the 2060? Can't wait for that one, since all the other reviewers are doing it with the 1660ti version.
I have the 2060 in my TUF A15, but I only paid $899 at best buy on sale, granted it has a 60hz screen but I don't care about that, I don't think I could have gotten it any cheaper with the 1660ti, so I am quite content having the extra 6-15% improvement.

I’ve seen dozens of reviews on the ASUS Zephyrus G14 I bought and not one reviewer would talk of the trackpad like that.
Always love ur work..❤❤..any idea when legion 5 with rtx and 1660ti comes out....waiting for ur review...and when r u reviewing omen 15 2020...?
This really helps. Thanks Jarrod :)
You said it - 1660 ti really hits the sweet spot between value and performance. My own A15 is on the way from Amazon ✌🏻. Thanks for your efforts, really appreciate it🙌🏻
How is your laptop?
@@omarasif2068 Hey man, I bought RTX 2060 model instead for 95k... It's a beast, but I suggest you wait a lil till next year... rtx 3060 you can buy in laptop at same price... Nvidia just announced
I love your reviews man, u go to the depth of the laptops, respect for all that effort.
I appreciate that!
Now that's a hell of a review. Thank you!
Great Video as always! Considering the price difference, I find the 1660 Ti to be the winner here, but I wonder if the temps mean if you can squeeze a tiny bit of performance by using slight oc with afterburner? Anyway, keep it up!
Was waiting for this.... many Thanks
Hey, here's another perspective on what to choose among these two, if you have the budget for 2060.
If you're a computer engineer, looking for a machine that would allow you to do coding and a bit of machine learning, the tensor cores on rtx would help a lot which the 1660ti lacks. If you plan on streaming or something, more cores would also give you an advantage. I'm not promoting DLSS but it looks promising. I'd be glad if a laptop produces the same results (or better) 2-3 years after being bought for games by just turning DLSS on, considering that Nvidia is really committed to it. Spending the extra money does justify in the long run if you consider any of the use cases mentioned above. Hope this helps. I mention this because no reviewers while comparing laptop GPUs talk about longevity and the Tensor cores, the focus stays on how much % difference for performance you get for the extra money while there's more to consider. I'd be glad if Jarrod would talk about these too since there is an audience base that would like to know that too. Thanks.
FPS increase is tiny IMO, but I am curious about RTX exactly for this reason. Many ML experts suggest that 2060 has an large edge over 1660 Ti in NN training and I would be happy to see a review on that or related stuff.
@@andreipopescu7636 yes exactly. The thing is that the 2060 has tensor cores which are specifically built for that purpose while the 1000 series have none. That's why I commented this so that a programmer interested in learning ML in future doesn't make a bad choice. I found an article where the desktop 2060 and 1080ti were benchmarked for ML and the 2060 was almost identical or better in results.
Thanks for this info! Was wondering about this the other day
The only real reason to prefer a RTX 2060 is the DLSS 2.0 that is very usefull when a game support it. The GTX 1660 ti is still the queen of price/performance in the gaming laptop market. We need the new RTX 3000 series for new options.
Even 2070 Max-Q can't match the GTX 1070 desktop...
@@Sims64340
Don't use max Q for power comparison.
They are cut back Tdp wise significantly compared to their standard mobile versions which can lead to worse performance
Thank you for the vid very informative as usual. I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Ryzen 7 4800 with a RTX 2060 and it's amazing my Rainbow Six Siege FPS is 268 average with 3.3ms GPU and 3.7 CPU times. I am running the latest Nvidia driver with Reflex.
Hi from Perú! So do u recommend get the legion 5 with the RTX 2060 version?
Jarrod can you please review HP OMEN 15 AMD RYZEN EDITION. I have kept on hold the buying decision just for your review and verdict. You are a very trustworthy and reliable source for laptop review.
same here, the 85k price looks like a really good deal with 1660ti.
It's in the mail, no tracking update for 10 days, stuck in LA on its way to Australia.
I was wondering about it and here is the video. Thanks man.
already bought the 1660ti A15 after watching your in-depth review! thank you Jarrod! keep up the good work!
myon , is it a 1660 ti maxq
Im thinking to buy this , u still recommend it ?
@@MegaYoooh the laptop or the GPU? Don't go for the laptop if you already have a pc because the sRGB range will disappoint you a bit.Wait for the HP Omen series or Lenovo Legion
If u talkin bout the GPU you can go for the RTX unless you're on a super tight budget.Even then I'd suggest waiting for a sale.DLSS makes it worth it nearly providing 2x the frame rate of 1660ti
@@prathamdave5849 alright thanks
Needed this got recommended it and i was looking at these last night
1660 Ti is impressive for the price to performance difference. I went for the 2060 however because of the edge in power, workstation loads and ray tracing.
You are smart!
Jarrod, great comparison...thanks for doing this. SUPER helpful stuff. As someone that is reasonably new to GPUs it's very difficult to understand the relative performance differences between all of the various Nvidia cards and their variants (much less AMD's cards). What I would LOVE to see is a chart that compares the performance levels of all of the various Nvidia cards (1650 thru 2080 including all of the variants...avg performance level and %gain versus it's successor).
I realize that this would be difficult to do because of the need to try and keep all other variables the same.... so maybe this type of comparison would be more feasible to do on a desktop system by just changing the GPUs. At least this would give us some sort of baseline for the performance of all of the various GPUs. If I had my druthers I'd ideally want to see charts that cover 2 types of workloads: 1) Content Creation (using Adobe Premier, DaVinci Resolve Studio Edition and Davinci Resolve Free edition) and Gaming (maybe focused on more demanding games?).
Having these type of charts as a baseline would give me some idea of the relevant performance comparisons between all the Nvidia cards. Armed with the performance comparisons I'd be able to make a more informed decision on whether it's worth it to move to the next level of GPU (e.g, will the bang for the buck be worth it). And of course having all of this data in a downloadable spreadsheet would be a great value add for your channel and good for you as well as it would be easy to update when new cards come along and you could just point people to that spreadsheet rather than having to respond to individual questions...so it would be a timesaver for you ultimately.
Thoughts?
Cheers
I went for the 166o Ti. My problem with the 2060: it's simply not fast enough for raytracing. Meaning, once this will be a common feature, the 2060 won't be able to produce high enough frame rates, so I'd still have to play without raytracing.
The real alternative to the 1660 Ti (if I really wanted raytracing) would've been a 2070 Super, but that's a whole different price point.
thats the thing about the 2060 though. it has dedicated cores for ray tracing so it doesn't take as much of a hit. You also get dlss with it so its a win win. 1660ti is a great deal but i wouldn't buy one if a 2060 is also an option. gotta future proof
Thank you for making this video, you always somehow know exactly what I'm looking for online. I ended up getting a one year old laptop that was on sale at my local electronics store with a 2060 over a new laptop with a 1660ti because they were priced the same and the only difference was the ti had a 2020 processor. I think if they cost the same, even a year old 2060 can beat a new 1660ti.
Great Info. I was wondering which direction to go..
Keep up the great work Jarrod~
Awesome video, very interesting to see that 1% lows were the big winner, not framerates so much. Would have been nice to cover any differences in features, as future thoughts are relevant unless you can afford to replace your laptop often. One thing, $200 is a lot of difference but with doubling of the SSD, this would account for much of that delta which I think needed to be better explained as it is not just $200 more for just the 2060. Keep it up loving this channel!
Was hoping you did this for the zephyrus g14, considering it has a lower wattage rtx 2060 and wanted to see how it handled games compared to it's gtx1650 ti.
Been a fan since a few months now. Have to say you make really detailed reviews and comparison videos, I'm sure it takes alot of time to make such videos. Great video and keep up the good work.
Also, can you do review on the new HP Omen 15 2020 Ryzen laptop? It comes with the new Ryzen 4000H series and there are not much laptops with the new Ryzen chip.
Another excellent video. Good job mate!
Thanks for this much-needed breakdown.
No problem!
Great comparison as always, I don't get why you don't have 1 million subscribers.
BTW, how did you test Ghost Recon Breakpoint?
Thank you!!
great video with so much details..
Good video as always Jarrod, but I'm disappointed that you didn't mention one of the biggest strengths of the 2060 which is DLSS 2.0 - you don't have to enable Ray tracing to turn it on and it can give you way more fps on supported games (f.e. 20+ in "Control"). As I was buying a gaming laptop last year there was basically no difference apart from the price between mobile 1660ti and 2060 in the laptop of my preference (Acer predator helios 300) but now as an owner of the Helios with 1660ti, between the two cards I would go for a laptop with 2060 - the DLSS 2.0 makes it better in newer games and makes it certainly more future proof. You should definitely make a video on this feature in laptops!
i may be wrong, but it seems you forget to change the rtx 2060 - average to rtx 2060 - 1% low on the benchmark results. Beside that, great work! as laptop with gtx 1660 ti is most of the time $400 cheaper than rtx 2060 one, this really helped my decide! (i wanted to upgrade from i7 7700hq gtx 1060 so anything less than 1660ti is basically a side grade)
Bro plz again I am asking some laptop under 1200$
I know you are only tech youtuber who reply....
BTW great video as always...........
@Nzall thanks bro 👍
@Nzall Where did you find the legion 5 (amd) with rtx 2060 ? On their website is listed only with a 1650 ti
Johnpsy that’s what he refer to next month, not out yet
Worth waiting for Ryzen 4000 or 5000 with RTX 3000 series.
I am going back to college at the ripe old age of 37 and have been bouncing around the 1660ti or the 2060 for awhile now and I think for longevity’s sake I’ll just pony up the $200 for the 2060. Better in general but definitely in the future.
Plus the dlss feature will increase its longevity
Awesome comparison. Now will be waiting for the intel vs amd config difference..
Thank you for sharing this.
Please do the same comparo for hp omen 15, envy 15, zephyrus g14. I would also like to know how to recognize the 115w 2060 in the laptops as I am aiming for something able to handle both gaming and rendering workloads.
My ASUS TUF A15 with gtx 1660ti is getting delivered today. Can’t wait for what’s about to come
You really are the best Jarrod. Waiting for Triton 300.
One of the best tech youtubers. I hope that you will gain more subscribers 😊👍
What about CUDA performance tests? For example, if I want a laptop not only for productivity but also for development, in this case, computer vision/machine learning models that could be accelerated by GPU. For some, this kind of tests could make up the difference in price
Is there any benefit to video editing applications between the two? Resolve is famously heavy on the GPU and Premiere is apparently using it more as well now.
Love your benchmarks. Waiting eagerly for the acer predator review.
I’m assuming the difference would be even less for the 1660Ti and 2060 max-Q graphics in the ASUS G14.
I'm looking at that machine too, and wondering the same thing. However, there are other differences between the models where I live, with the 1660Ti model having a 1440P/60Hz screen, and the 2060 model being 1080P/120Hz and surprisingly being around $100 cheaper (although as usual, $400 more than it costs in the US...). If DLSS 2.0 works properly on the notebook 2060, then it shouldn't be too hard of a choice, although for work, I really like the extra pixels, but not sure 1440P non-scaled is a good idea on a 14" screen for work.
Andrew Palmer Yeah, trying to keep costs down if possible, but the 120 HZ panel would be preferable.
Avoid max Q
They have severely cur back tdp ranges. This will lead to a massive drop in performance that just isn't worth it.
Hi Jarrod,
Thanks again for an exhaustive comparison between different GPU options. I know you invest a large amount of time in the making of your videos & we the viewers deeply appreciate that, but will it be possible for you to have a comparison of GPU performance with variations in TDP for an RTX card(s). If you have already done that in a previous video, can you provide a link in the comment? Cheers for the great content as always.
Jarrod, I am still waiting for a comparison between Intel and AMD with RTX2060 and 1660Ti as well
So far from various reviews:
1650Ti -> 1660Ti = big improvement
1660Ti -> 2060 = small improvement
Please do this comparison for the Acer Predator Helios also when the 2020 version is available in your country. Please Please Please!!!
I bought a TUF A17 with the 4800H and 1660ti combo, then taped over the vents (but also put some small holes in the tape to let some air escape), then put Raspberry Pi heatsinks over 0.5mm thermal pads over the VRMs, and a cheap SSD heatsink over the included 512GB SSD, then I used Ryzen Controller to set the 4800Hs TDP to 40W, and then used afterburner to keep the 1660ti at 1770mhz @ 793mV (6500MHz mem)
All in all it resulted in a CPU that never goes above 93C (ambient temp at 32C), a GPU that never goes above 80C, and what seems like a pretty big FPS boost over leaving everything stock. If you don't mind tweaking, the A15/17 can be made really good with around 10 usd or so of extra stuff (the cost of my mods). CPU below 50% usage sustains an average clock of 4100MHz and under full load sustains around 3600MHz, nothing throttling.
Anyway, great video as always and looking forward to the next!
In this case I'd go with the 1660 Ti. Simply because the higher temps worry me with the 2060 version. With other laptops I'd try and get a 2060 version. Is my worry about the temps correct though?
Hi Jarrod 🇦🇺🖐😊 another great review.....I’ve been recently looking to upgrade my 5 year old laptop to something with RTX graphics like my home pc, however after seeing the minute difference in performance between gtx and rtx models here, and the massive AUD price difference between the same spec’d laptops with these graphics cards.....I think im gonna hold out for new nVidia graphics cards and see what they’re like or hold out for price cuts on GTX models. GTX seems a much better performance and value proposition then the RTX in laptops and put the savings into additional storage etc. keep up the great work 👍😁
Can you please compare a laptop with RTX 2060 vs RTX 2070 Super? I can't find a video with this comparison!
Always top notch reviews 👍
👍
Shouldnt you have limited the 2060 to 80w to make fair comparison..?
Amazing and thank you! :)
Should I go for a Ryzen 5-4600H and RTX 2060 (Lenovo Legion 5) or Ryzen 7-4800H and GTX 1660Ti (HP Omen 15)?
I'd love to see this video but done for the Zephyrus G14 1080p Variants!
Hi Jarrod! Been subbed and a fan of your channel for 3 years+ now! Please answer me one question in your honest opinion.
Intel i9 10900k
Rtx 2080 super 8gb
4k screen 60hz, 25ms response time
64gb ram
Getting the alienware area 51 m r2 tomorrow. Will this laptop be able to play most games with no issues? My main concern is the 4k screen but would hate to see terrible performance due to the 60hz refresh rate. Please help with any info you can share! Thanks and good luck with the channel, always!
Not gonna lie i opened up youtube to watch a 1660ti vs rtx2060 video and this uploads
Thank You for doing this comparison Jarrod. Do you have any Acer or Lenovo gaming laptops reviews coming up??
Lenovo 7i arrived today, still waiting on Acer to hook me up.
I bought a msi laptop 3 month ago with gtx 1660 ti for 830 usd...
With i7 9th gen also...
Extremely worth it...
Picked up the 2060 version with a ryzen 9 4900h. Definitely a good upgrade from my gtx 1050. Love it. Now I'm getting 100 fps rather than 30
What about the thermals?..does it get to hot?
@@goodnightchan669 Not at all. I've ran warzone gta and borderlands 3 so far. Max temps I've seen is 82oC. Fans area bit noisy to what im used to but they do a good job. Its a beast of a laptop
@@Davewithamullet thanks for the quick reply bro..i am thinking about buying the same model..the display is ok for gaming right?
@@goodnightchan669 yeah it looks good to me. I'm only gaming on it not doing editing or photoshop things. Jumping from a 60hz to a 144 hz is pretty significant. I paid £1399 for mine in the UK. Yeah I could of paid less for a model thats slightly down the price range and to be honest I'm sure there's not that much difference between the 1660ti and the 2060 apart from Ray tracing ( which only applies to a few games) and around 5/10% frame increase. If you did pay for a lower model then im sure you won't be disappointed. I think 16 gb and 1tb of ssd is the way to go. Lots of reviews about it overheating and the poor screen but ( I've had it for 5 days now) I haven't had any problems. It comes with 1 year warranty anyway.
@@Davewithamullet cool..thanks for the details bro..helped tons.. have a great day ahead!
5:50 sad Tetris Effect noises
Don't worry, though, if a 1060 Max-Q is good enough for 60fps at max settings, then say what of a 1660 Ti or 2060?
Greetings from Nigeria. Great reviews, subbed...
Great! Thank you.
Currently playing The Witcher 3 on my Zephyrus G14 - R7, GTX 1660ti version - and getting ~94fps on high settings and ultra for texture mode, with the HD Reworked mod. CPU temp varies between 70-74⁰C and GPU 66-71⁰C after 2h of playing with the fans speed manually set to 40% max. Pretty good so far
hello,thanks for the video, which one you thing is better for production ?
great review!!! but i'd rather pay the extra 200 not just for ray tracing, but for dlss too, seeing that even on 1080p I can bump up more fps at an upscaled image
This might be an odd request, but think you could add Destiny 2 to the benchmarks? Been looking to see difference in performance on Destiny 2 played on laptop
TL;DR - If you have the cash for the performance boost of a 2060, get a 2060 variant. If you don't, the 1660ti will not fail to deliver, and will still perform solid.
Excellent video!
In my case I require this laptop for design (fusion 360, solidworks, Blender, etc.) Would you recommend the 1660 ti for the price?
Thanks!
Hey Jarrod!
Are you planning to make a review on Razer Blade 15 base model 2020?
Also there is a Clevo PC50, it should be already available in Australia as Metabox prime S.
That’ll be great to see these reviews, thanks!
Haven't we already ruled out the A15 because it's a heat beast?
Considering most of the games I will play are just strategy games, the RTX 2060 doesnt seem worth it at ALL, since in my country the price of a laptop with RTX 2060 is about 20% more expensive than a laptop with GTX 1660 Ti.
As a lot of people said, this has to be one of the biggest question for an average laptop buyer right now. Thanks for the video mate!
I heard that you're getting the HP Omen 15 AMD with the 2060? Can't wait for that one, since all the other reviewers are doing it with the 1660ti version.
Not sure what GPU it will have.
@@JarrodsTech Ah, but still looking forward to it!
I have the 2060 in my TUF A15, but I only paid $899 at best buy on sale, granted it has a 60hz screen but I don't care about that, I don't think I could have gotten it any cheaper with the 1660ti, so I am quite content having the extra 6-15% improvement.
Would love to see comparisons of a UV+OC 1660ti vs 2060
