Hi everyone.
I'm deciding between 2 laptop options.
1. Intel processor (6) cores with rtx 2070 (8gb)
2. Amd ryzen (8 cores) with rtx 2060 max q (6gb)
So basically weaker processor with stronger gpu vs stronger processor with weaker gpu.
I work mainly with 6k braw files.
Advice would be helpful.
Thanks

I would suggest reading the white paper on Braw files and see how it is processed. That will lead you to the best answer.

Thanks. I do know the gpu is a bigger player here but was actually interested to see if anyone used similiar specs and which set of compromises give what results.

with a 1070, which is a bit slower than a 2060 but I think more powerful than MaxQ variety I get 50% GPU use with just playing back 6k braw files, before doing anything at all. so the power of the gpu is essentially halved. I think you would want more powerful GPU, also I think 2060 is only 6gig, and 8gig of 2070 would be preferred also

You can pound in a nail with a wrench, the job will get done. But that's not the proper tool for the job.

For this work, Laptops will always be wrenches.

The proper tools here are hammers and desktops.

Build your own system.

I knew this comment will show up at one moment Thanks for your answer but that is not what I need. I am getting a laptop because I need a laptop. And that's the end of the story more or less.

btw that 50% GPU for a gtx1070 is wrong. There must have been something else helping generate the gpu use. It's 25% with 24p 6k braw for playback

That's good to know. Thanks
