A MBP with a:
Radeon Pro 555 with 2GB of GDDR5
Or
Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB of GDDR5

is going to have a hard time in the 4k space, especially with multiple outputs.
With the upgraded version, here are some benchmarks:

Do not recommend. I had and dropped it from lineup. This piece of crapware overheats badly even with external blower. Buy gaming laptop. Or wait for new version.

I have about 10 Razer Blades. They are work horses! IMO The Core isn't needed unless you plan to do a bunch of C4D rendering via Octane.

The Blade itself can push well over 20 layers and FX and still be above 80fps

I highly recommend Origin. You can customize almost every internal component. I've had a couple of these EVO model laptops past 4ish years and performance is excellent! The EVO models are slimmer because i'm mostly on the road but they do offer bulkier models with even better performance.

here is my current system

I can do 3 external outputs, transfer files, and render projects in after effects all during a show if needed. Let me know if you have any questions.

I've been looking at similar Clevo builds. How is that Max-Q compared to a standard 1070?

its great performance and also doesn't suck up the batter life since it uses less power when not plugged in
