    Hello,

    I'm buying a new laptop-online. I need a computer for 3D-modeling, structural analysis, and of course, gaming.
    I am choosing between two laptops, costing about the same, but each one better than the other.
    I intend to buy a 16gb ram and 250gb ssd minimum (M.2 or mSATA).I have 24 'HD screen, so I do not care if I have a 15.4 or 17'

    MSI GT60-2PE8H11FD3K Gaming Notebook mit GTX880M WQHD+ Display - ohne Betriebssystem (MSI Notebooks) günstig kaufen im Online-Shop von comtech.de


    MSI GT72-2QD81FD Gaming Notebook mit GTX970M 8GB RAM - ohne Betriebssystem (MSI Notebooks) günstig kaufen im Online-Shop von comtech.de

    Could you please suggest what is better? and why is it better.

    Thank you verry much!

    970M is clearly faster.

    970M is way more efficient so way cooler AND 20-35% faster, you choose.

    and... the GT72 have a better PSU with 230W, the GT60 has only a 180W PSU. You can use up to 4 m2 2282 SSDs in the GT72.

    GT72 with 970m is a better choice.

    Certainly the GT72 is the best choice like the other guys suggested but between the two GT60 I would choose the 970m version, because both gaming and OpenCL performance is better (with lower temps too).
