Am I right in thinking going for the full fat RTX 2060 model will allow for more mod-ability re flashing the card with different VBIOS for higher performance? From what I've experienced with this 1070 Max Q is that the Max Q chips are very locked down, my RB 15 2018 won't take any other 1070 Max Q VBIOS ...

But they are locked down with a reason, the Razer Blade chassis just cannot handle more. At stock the 2060 and 2070MQ GPU's are hovering around 73 to 77c under load already. This with the shared heatsink which in return would also heat up the CPU more. In the end the heat in the chassis will become too high and accelerates the dreaded battery bloat for which Razer machines are quite known.If I where you I really wouldnt mess with it. If you wanted higher performance you should have gone for a laptop with more room for it. The GPU mosfets arent cooled too well in these machines. Running a higher TDP would heat up those even more too.
At stock the Razer blade 15 is already on edge, undervolting is needed to keep it all in check.Last edited: Oct 6, 2019amihail91 likes this. -
The improvement shows that the strongest 2080 Max-Q (100W) brings (23000 Graphic score in FS) is only 32% faster than a 1070 Max-Q that scored 17300 Graphic score in FS.
And 2060 is only 0~7%.
In the past when 680M just came out it was at least 80% faster than a 675M ( 580M rebranded).
When I made the jump from 675M to 680M to 970M to 1070 Max-Q the improvements for each stage were 80% > 100% > 70% when it is thought this way the money is really well spent.

But if the Tensor cores are in use, the performance difference is much larger. The issue is that not many games use it still. The only game that I played which benefitted from the Tensor cores in terms of adding graphical fidelity without degrading performance too much was Control. -

The nice thing with the Blade 15 2019 is though that it offers equal performance as full fat 1070s and 1080s from last gen thicker laptops in a thin chassis.hackness likes this.
