 PH317-53 can come with a few different GPU configs.

PH317-53-79KB comes with a RTX 2070 Max-Q, other sub models are 1660ti (PH317-53-7777) to the best of my knowledge.

Residing within the metallic shell are the six-core 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 Processor1, an overclockable GeForce RTX™ 2070 with Max-Q Design1, up to 32GB of DDR4 memory at 2666MHz and incredibly quick PCIe NVMe storage in Raid 0 1 . The result? Absolutely insane performance that craves real challenges. 

Yup, scroll down a bit on the advert and you will see this ^^^. 

I think the 1060 (2018 models), 1660ti, 2060, and 2070Max-q are the only options in the 300 series of Predators.  For whatever it's worth, I have the 1660ti and there isn't anything it can't do (aside from ray tracing).

It can be confusing since different skews are sold to different markets, so I don't want to speak out of turn. Here is what I do know...

The 1660ti can handle just about anything at 1080p (60 fps high/ultra setting). Most laptops (15" or 17") have 1080p displays. The 2060 is 10-15% faster, and has ray tracing. The 2070 is a bit faster still, but most will be Max-q at this price range. 

In my opinion, ray tracing isn't ready for prime time yet...so I decided to save some money and go for the 1660ti. The 1660ti is pretty efficient compared to it's bigger brothers...so you don't see Max-q 1660ti too often. 

I don't know if this is allowed, but here is the only laptop reviewer I trust reviewing the Predator 300. He's a lot more educated about laptops than me, so I hope this helps.

MirekBartl  All 2070/2080 on any acer laptops (and all major manufacturers) so far are all max-q the only ones that are max-p are the 2060 and under there is only a few manufacturers who make laptops with 2070 max-p and they arent cheap neither well known to the public

So do you think is better to buy laptop from Acer company with Gtx 1660ti for £ 1499 ?
Or this laptop:

Because it is difficult for me chose,  sometimes it is not written that it is Max-Q  and GTX 1660ti can by Max-Q too. :-D  

Because I would like to buy 17" display. 
I thinking about graphic RTX 2070 or 2060 or GTX 1660ti, but full version, not Max-Q.

Or this laptop, but I am not sure if it is with Max-Q or full :
