NVIDIA configures GTX 1000 series notebooks for VR games

For the first time last year, NVIDIA began experimenting with porting desktop-grade graphics chips for desktops to laptops using the Maxwell-based GTX 980 chipset. This shows that the company is working hard to develop this new technology, and now NVIDIA is porting its GTX 1000 series chipset to the notebook. Be careful! This is not the previous M-series mobile graphics card or notebook-specific graphics card, but the real GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 graphics cards installed in the laptop.

NVIDIA configures GTX 1000 series notebooks for VR games

NVIDIA project manager Mark Aevermann explained in the media ventilation session of the new graphics processor: "We have been planning this for many years." In the past, NVIDIA did not implement this technology, but now the company can already A more efficient Pascal-based graphics chipset is directly applied to laptops. Their use is almost identical to the desktop system, but the clock frequency is slightly lower when the GTX 1060 graphics chipset is installed inside the notebook. To prove the effect, NVIDIA demonstrated the effect of running War Machine 4 on a laptop with a GTX 1080 graphics card with a resolution of 4K, 60 frames per second. Aevermann said: "This is very powerful and very advanced."

In the test system, GTX 1080 has 2560 CUDA display cores, running at 1733MHz, and equipped with 8GB GDDR5X memory. The GTX 1070 graphics card, as an alternative to the 980M, has 2048 CUDA cores built in, running at 1645MHz and equipped with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. GTX 1060 graphics card, used to replace the 970M display chipset, built-in 1280 CUDA core, running at 1670MHz, equipped with 6GB GDDR5 memory. NVIDIA's running test compares the performance of GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 graphics cards on desktop systems and notebook systems, and the results are very satisfactory, especially in some test projects, the GTX 1080 graphics card in the notebook runs beyond The desktop version of GTX 1080. The performance of these new notebook graphics chips has improved by at least 150% compared to previous M-series mobile display chipsets.

Obviously, NVIDIA has invested heavily in gaming notebooks, and the company is also very optimistic about the industry outlook and performance of the Pascal architecture. In NVIDIA's new graphics processor media event, Aevermann revealed that the gaming notebook has a 20 million installation base, compared to the PlayStaTIon 4 with a 52 million installation base and the Xbox One installation base of 29 million. NVIDIA expects that while gaming console sales continue to increase, gaming notebook sales will increase by 30% this year, and the company's new GTX 1000 series graphics cards will boost sales of gaming notebooks.

As we all know, NVIDIA's Pascal architecture graphics card performance and performance are very good, and will be successfully ported to notebooks. Notebook gamers using the new framed graphics card will receive 30% of the game life. NVIDIA has also adjusted the battery boost technology to improve the difference in frame counts when there is no external power supply.

NVIDIA also promises that these new graphics chipsets are fully compatible with VR games. Of course, for the GTX 1080 chipset, support for VR is clearly not a problem, but it may be somewhat far-fetched for the GTX 1060 chipset. At NVIDIA's event, I experienced a VR game using the GTX 1060 chipset connected to the HTC Vive helmet. NVIDIA only demonstrated a fairly basic boxing game. However, when running a game that relies more on graphics chips, a higher-end graphics card is required to get a good gaming experience. Therefore, the promise that the GTX 1060 graphics card can support VR games is only for some games with low quality, or that it is considered to reduce the picture effect. At the same time, the GTX 1000 series chipset can support VR games and is also possible to use external AC power. The company does not promise to run VR games smoothly when using the battery.

In any case, NVIDIA's application of the desktop version of the graphics card to the notebook is a small improvement. For years, we have been expecting mobile devices to catch up with desktop devices. At the same time, the graphics chip of Pascal architecture is also a huge leap. Every major OEM and system manufacturer will launch notebooks based on Pascal architecture graphics cards, including Lenovo, EVGA, Aliens, Asus, MSI, HP, Acer. , Razer and many other companies. Pascal may not be the most suitable graphics card architecture for gaming notebooks, but it can dramatically improve graphics performance under limited conditions. NVIDIA expects OEMs to build 18mm thin, 1.8kg notebooks with GTX 1060 graphics cards, like the 15-inch MacBook Pro with a perfect form factor, but NVIDIA doesn't suggest any new graphics chips. The group is associated with Apple and Microsoft.

By using the GTX 1000 Series graphics card, OEMs will be able to easily create notebooks that support 120Hz displays. And soon the GTX 1080 graphics card will unlock the overclocking option, which is expected to increase by about 10%. After a few months, the overclocking capabilities of the GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 chipsets will also be unlocked. Notebook manufacturers will be able to develop monster-level laptops with SLI multi-graphics cross-fire, and will introduce water-cooled devices into their laptops. Of course, the size of notebooks may change accordingly. Major manufacturers have begun to introduce notebook products using GTX 1080, GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 graphics cards, and will continue to upgrade the hardware in the coming months, hoping to achieve sales breakthroughs in the year-end promotions. .
