Hey, if you're willing to throw money at the problem the razer blade is certainly going to solve your issues!

For shits & giggles I underclocked my CPU to take a look at the impact on framerate. 6700k desktop with a GTX 1070. Game was in 1920x1200 using the lowest resolution textures possible (ie, I'm not using the fancy higher-res official pack). 8x AA was forced and I didn't care enough to turn it off.

1ghz: 19FPS in EC with tons of people on screen
2.2ghz: 49FPS in EC with tons of people on screen
4.5ghz: over 100FPS in EC with tons of people on screen

YMMV, and I'm way too lazy to pull my 1070 to see how it compares to the intel integrated graphics [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My mother taught me to only throw money at problems lmfao

In fairness, the Razer Blade seems *future proof enough that it would last as a solid laptop for a good 5+ years vs a laptop that is just enough to play p99 right now if you get me.

I am surprised to see that the testing you did shows that there is a difference...but lets be honest - you are making a bottleneck to a GTX 1070. The true test would be to underclock the shaders and memory of the GTX 1070 while keeping the CPU consistent to be a reliable indidcator. If you could show me comparative stats of that (probably at 2.4 or 3 GHZ baseline CPU clock), I would love you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
