XB1X apparently has 1070 levels of performance, give or take.

Probably closer to the RX 580/590.
Notebook variants tend to be a little slower.
|
Specs wise maybe but with the lesser overhead it would make sense the XB API should allow for 1070 like levels of performance.
True, and the Max-Q versions even more so.

Also depends on how long you want it to be future proof. I'd say the best price to performance ratio out of those options would be the $1699.99 Acer Predator. It would be somewhat future proof based on the GPU. A laptop with similar specs to it, with a 1070 or 1080, would last that much longer.

Should remain "current" for a long time, especially as most notebook displays are only 1080P resolution or less.
|
It'll have all the latest and greatest, but over time a beefier GPU would allow you to keep your settings cranked, where as otherwise, over time, you will be forced to scale down. A 1070 or 1080 could be looked at as higher res now, or consistent res and higher settings in the future.

At 95C you really wouldn't want to try and OC the CPU anyway. As for the GPU, you probably could a little bit but it seems like it's giving you more than you required at the moment and the more you push it, the more heat it will produce and the fan will get even louder. Plus it probably won't take much of a push for temps to rise 'exponentially'. This is a reason why it's not a bad idea to go a little overboard on the CPU and/or GPU in a laptop if you can because of the excess heat from gaming, if you can restrain yourself from just cranking it up and maxing it out regardless. It also allows for lower fan speeds and less noise, but comes at a cost. Gaming laptops are all about trade offs.

You will get thermal throttling before any damage is incurred anyway... 95'C is probably hitting that limit.
What kind of Thermal Imaging Camera are you using? The one I have is $3,000... I have access to a dozen of them across the road at the station too. Haha

Good point.
Just copy pasted pics. There was a $5000 (CAD) Fluke at my old work for electrical distribution inspections. Only got to use it a couple times.
