Which RTX card to buy for a laptop that will work best with VP?

I am pre-ordering the new MSI Creator's 15 laptop with an i7,10th gen CPU to edit 4k videos. So what RTX graphic card should I buy to best make use of VP 17? With this system, will I be able to edit 4k videos without using a proxy, and will a faster graphics card help with the scrubbing or editing 4k without a proxy? If so, which one? I plan on starting a youtube channel and an outdoor vlog, and would like to use effects. PS: I know Premiere designs its system for the use of these RTX cards. Does VP do the same?

Manufactors are only putting these chips in the low end plastic laptops with low quality screens, cheap build quality, bad trackpads and/or keyboards, no thunderbolt and low end RTX cards. The first company that puts AMD into their top tier laptops are going to OWN the market. Until then, at least for me anyway, it's Intel.

+1. That's what I discovered too. If you want thunderbolt and / or higher level GPU then you have to go with an intel configuration for now (NOTE: WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT LAPTOPS). Also note that the Puget benchmark graphs are for desktop GPU's, not mobile or max-Q.

In January I got a $1000 Walmart Evoo 17 with 17" 144hz screen, 6-core I7-9750H CPU, 16GB Ram, standard RTX 2060 GPU, 1TB M.2, slot for 2nd M.2, and room for a (3rd) SSD SATA drive. I also got my son a HP Omen 15 with same CPU but 1660 GPU. The HP shuts-down the internal iGPU whereas the Evoo allows Vegas to use both which is what my 9900K workstation does... Because of this & fact that the 2060 is faster than the 1660, even with the same CPU mine renders-out HEVC & MP4 faster. The render speeds from my Evoo are posted on the Benchmark forum but I didn't keep track of the HP Omen scores, only that it was noticeably slower...

Because the hp omen 15 has cpu gpu disabled and evoo 17 does not, it could be doing that to reduce thermal throttle, and the real reason evoo 17 is faster is due to better cooling and it being able to maintain higher cpu frequency. The following tests that idea, although equally could be GPU

Interesting post, but the title is a bit misleading, it should sound something like what is the best laptop for Vegas...

Just word of caution, internal GPU cards for laptops, for example RTX 2060 are clocked significantly lower than the "same" desktop variants (battery power, heat and laptops, you know the drill...), expect about a 10% real life performance drop.

Um, are you guys making money using laptops? Congrats if yes!

Ha! trying... I understand it takes about 18 months to build a good subscriber base on youtube. It's a good thing I have a real job!

@bitman I changed the title of the thread to make it more accurate. re: 10% estimate is pretty low from desktop variance. Below is from Hardware Unboxed three days ago. On average, the difference in variance comes somewhere between 15 to 35 percent (which is still a lot). But Jerrad's point, like your warning, is to be aware the same name GPU in a laptop could be as much as to two steps down from the desk variance (the wattage to the card seems to be one of the biggest factors). So this is something you can check to make sure you can close the gap through knowledge. Bob of All Trades recently made the point that a 2080 desktop can be made for half the price for a laptop. He ended by saying, "but I am a laptop guy." I guess I am too, out of necessity. Thanks for the heads up.
