acer is better cus 970m is a mobile gpu which is cut down 1060 in the acer is a full gpu well damn near close to it laptops will always thermal throttle unless you keep them super well ventilated on a cooling pad and even then the things charge up like they are gonna take off into space
700 bones for a 1060 aint bad at all but tbh arma runs like liquid asshole so dont expect anything higher than 30 fps 90% of the time everything else should run perfect at 1080p |

| You are honestly better waiting and saving more money. GTA 5 I have it on a full 970 with 16Gb of ram and it is lucky to run at 60 FPS on low settings. |

| Hey guys just an update, the gentleman with the Asus Predator decided not to sell, so I went the R3. I have to say I am not disappointed in the slightest. Runs GTAV on normal settings at 70fps (I don't need super fancy ultra graphics) and all in all I'm very happy with it! I also talked him down to 500$! |
