Comparing laptop GPU vs desktop GPU is like comparing baby and a full grown human. No laptop GPU can beat desktop GPU specially in the long run like a full week straight run. Desktop is a monster of performance even 24/7 running but with a cost of more power consumption while laptop GPU is just enough for quick and short run and has low power consumption, best for travelling.

Performance difference is HUGE & Almost same price as desktop... I'd rather buy 5060M laptop because it's %95 same as desktop version and a better value and only %8-10 slower than 5070M
