Gtx 980m vs gtx 980? What do you choose?

[Esaelias187]

Now i wanted a gaming laptop for gaming and work

I dont like 17 inch ones but these new laptops can have desktop 980 in them so no option there

I want a 15 inch but they only have 980m

If you had a choice what would you go for if you wanted to play games maxed out?

Can laptop 980m have equal fps as gtx 980

This laptop is a desktop replacemenr therefore both have desktop i7 6700k

A 980 would absolutely beat a 980m hands down.

980m is closer (but still a slightly inferior) to a desktop 970.

a 980 kills a 980m

why don't you like the 17"s? too heavy and bulky? get a good carry bag, it will make all the difference.
If you plan on using this to hook up to an external monitor. Only the 980 will reliably run a 1440 monitor. 980m will cover 1080 for a number of years, but it won't do more than that. I wonder if the 980 has enough cooling to run wide open, or if it has to throttle? I've yet to see an in-depth piece on that question, especially when it's teamed up with the 6820hk. Something's got to give, laptops just can't handle that much heat.
