Question

laptop gtx1060 i7-7700HQ

My plan was originally to get a dekstop processor and a gtx1080 in a latop, but one just came up which seems great value with the 7700HQ and a 6gb VRAM gtx1060

My current desktop is a i7 5820K at stock with a gtx970 (4gb).  I know its a laptop processor, but will I find it unbearable to edit on?

I use a lot of lumetri effects and layers (like 3 on a clip - sometimes its 4k, and a few adjustment layers to boot).  Will the 1060 compare OK to my 970?

    uh, you said 4k, but the 7700hq is only a 4 core... be prepared to go proxy, lol.

    The GTX 1060 will beat the GTX 970 any day.  Plus the GTX 1060 is very easily and safely overclocked where the GTX 970 cannot be overclocked with CUDA applications
