1050ti is pushing the limit already, where as the 1060 has some headroom. With the 1660 coming out (the true 1060 replacement), not sure how much cheaper the 1060 laptops will get in the next while. If you waited a bit you might find a better deal, then again, that may be the reason for the 1060 models starting to go on sale for hundreds off now.

I've been putting off getting a new laptop for a couple years now. It's always the same game, waiting for a better deal lol. My current gpu is a 740m while I'm using an external keyboard as the thing is falling apart. It's time!

Dang, your dollar is even worth less, or is that with tax included. Here that laptop would come to CAD 3275 after tax. I can't justify that kind of extra money for gaming unfortunately.

US prices put ours to shame though with many states not even charging tax.

I'm leaning towards the predator with 1060.
GTX 1060 seems more than capable for forza horizon 4 :)

I didn't watch the video to confirm if it was 1060 for desktop or laptop. So make sure to keep in mind that Laptops usually have the laptop version of the GPU and can be less power.

Yeah I know, it's not as big a difference as it used to be. I see it's between 1 to 16% slower according to that vs a desktop card. That benchmark shows FH4 running at 79 fps on a 1060 on ultra settings at 1080p. -16% is still 66 fps. It should be pretty stable 1080p60 on ultra, good enough. Compared to a 740m that overheats after 10 minutes, anything will look good!
