ASUS Teases Upcoming G Series Notebooks Powered by "Pascal" GPUs

ASUS teased an upcoming Republic of Gamers G-Series notebook. It didn't stop at the teaser pics, and went on to tease performance numbers of the untitled "GXXX" graphics processor at the heart of this beast. We'll go out on a limb here and guess that it's a new mobile GPU based on the "Pascal" architecture; more so because ASUS is claiming that it's faster than even the desktop GeForce GTX TITAN X, and has 3DMark 11 Performance-present score to show for that. ASUS plans to exhibit the notebook at the 2016 Computex; and it's becoming increasingly clear that the third GP104-based SKU promised for June 2016 could be a mobile chip after all.

Caring1Just over 600 points gain, and no details on the settings used. FUUUUGEDABOUTIT.

Just this pop up, may be related to Pascal.

Judging by the 20k-ish score for the 980Ti, that's the 3DMark11 - Performance test.
But it's true, the 980Ti was pushing at least 20,150 points whereas the announced GPU was pushing 20,800. That's a 3.2% improvement. Stuff you really need benchmarks for, otherwise you wouldn't know it's there.
That aside, 980Ti performance in a laptop would be really impressive if it doesn't kill the battery.

Impressive but its a 24 incher and has allegedly that water cooling hybrid dock thing so its more an AIO than a laptop.

even if whatever it is delivers 980TI performance for half the power usage we would be talking 140 watts or so plus what the rest of the system uses.. it would only run full speed on mains power.. on battery power it would have to throttle down massively..

lipo batteries could provide enough power but not for very long.. ten minutes maybe.. he he

I have a laptop with 970m sli, the battery will last maybe 45 min, even at throttled speed. But I dont game on it unplugged.

Yeah i mean in reality they should have had the 980M and the 970M in there... then they could have had am impressive graph without the need to blatantly disregard math and bar graphs.

I've just seen a benchmark for a ROG G501VW that is comparable to the GTX960, but only has 3Gb of Vram and 540MHz Core, 2505MHz Memory.
The numbers don't add up to any current card that I'm aware of.
