Which Graphics Score 3DMark11 tests are you looking at? Can't find any on the web other than the leaked one which we don't even know if they're true or what kind of drivers they're using. Could be ASUS have newer drivers from NVIDIA for that test. Also what is to say that ASUS are testing in on a laptop-grade CPU and not a desktop version? Would explain why the CPU is hidden in that screenshot. I think the Absolute score chart is difficult to judge without having any background info at all, that's why the Relative score chart has to be the most accurate representation. hence why it makes sense it's a 1070.

The Graphics Score for 3DMark11 for the Asus laptop is shown in Image #3 of the Guru3D article that we've all just read (here's the link anyway: http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/asus_teases_pascal_mobile_with_a_3dmark_11_score.html). Have a good look at that screenshot in Image #3, towards the bottom left you will see the Graphics Score, this is a 'raw' assessment of the GPU power without any significant CPU involvement. There the Graphics Score is shown to be 34K. Ignore the chart in Image #2, because like I said in my last post this is the overall P-score that takes CPU power into consideration too, the Graphics Score is far more indicative of the pure GPU performance. The GTX 1080 scores 29K in 3DMark11 for the Graphics Score (see this link that I linked in earlier post: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/nvidia-gtx-1080-graphics-card-review/6/) - the Asus laptop scores 34K - therefore it's at least a GTX 1080 in there or perhaps sli of GTX 980 or maybe 1070M sli. If it's sli though then it's not an impressive piece of news.

I meant what OTHER 3DMark11 Graphics Score results of the 1080 have you seen and where, other than the one-two rumor leaks from a few weeks back? Those are the ones I can't find any of. If there aren't any confirmed 100% legit Graphics Score result for the 1080 then the ASUS numbers are useless for comparison.

I've found one legitimate 3DMark11 Graphics Score for the GTX 1080, the one that I linked from the KitGuru review of the GTX 1080 (I'm not gonna link it again, I've linked it twice already!) - that's not a leak, that's a review.

Thats dumb. 9500 for a cpu score is very low. Which renders the graph contextless. The 34k gpu score is nice though. Sli 1070m or 1080m single overclocked.

Could be 1070M sli, but not an overclocked 1080M as Asus say the GPU was operating at stock clocks for those tests. You're right about the graph and the CPU.

Asus probably benched it just once while the gpu was near ambient temperature and if those graph shenanigans alone weren't enough i wouldn't be surprised if they ran it near an AC unit as well too maintain boost clocks as high and long as possible.

It's 100% SLI without question.

ASUS' previous dual GPU notebook: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-W90VP-Gaming-Notebook.18490.0.html

It's 100% SLI without question.

I hope it's not, because sli is not impressive then when it comes to 34000 Graphics Score in 3DMark11 - the 980 sli can already do that in laptops already out there. The fact that it's 5000 more Graphics Score points than the one GTX 1080 result I've seen so far does lend credence to sli, unless that one Graphics Score I've seen for the 1080 is an outlier and unusually low - would be good to see some more GTX 1080 Graphics Scores in 3DMark11 so we could rule that out, but I haven't been able to find more than just the one result (over at KitGuru review of 1080). I hope it's the 1080, I can't quite rule it out yet though.

Just as I said earlier. 1080 and 1070 are both notebook cards. 😉

PCGamer: According to our contacts, Nvidia is readying the release of its new 10-series chips for notebooks. The kick is, they won’t be M versions of desktop GPUs. They will be the same chips used on the desktops, just operating at a lower TDP—we’re told there will be the same number of shader units, etc.
