NVIDIA Introduces New Pascal GTX 1000 Series VR Ready Dedicated Graphic Cards for Laptops

A while back it was pretty much a hassle to decide which laptop to buy for gaming because previous laptops had gpus designed for laptop M suffix which means mobile or mobility and that is for its portability obviously gpus have their own size and it is difficult to put in desktop gpus in laptops but as of 2016 things are changing quite a bit after the budget series of AMD’s RX GPU series which included RX460, 470 and 480 Nvidia came up with its own Pascal lineup new architecture and all of that good stuff and they introduced three versions of the gpu the top of the line gpu was GTX 1080 after that it was the GTX1070 and lastly the least budget friendly one was GTX 1060.

People are pretty much satisfied with these graphic card line up as it is much cheaper and supports 4K , virtual reality and what not, also they consume pretty much less power these new cards are prett much perfect considering their price performance power consumption and their physical design.

But now game has changed a bit and pretty much Nvidia has decided to finish the M series graphics cards which were previously used in laptops and they have figured out how to put in desktop grade gpus in laptops which is pretty exciting.

These new GPU’s stitched with the new Intel’s 6^th gen processors is a beast combination and in future we will see laptops with high end specs with no M dedicated gpus and will perform most probably same as desktop grade gpus obviously their will be a bit of downgrade on laptop side because of size and all that stuff they cant put in a desktop gpu in a laptop so we have to compromise a bit on quality a bit I don’t say much but 10 15% that’s what I Believe,

Nvidia has invested a lot in getting desktop grade gpus in laptop which is good for future technology and obviously this will boost laptop sales also these will be VR ready as of now VR like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive requires a 4K and VR ready computer and these laptops will be 4K and VR ready too which is amazing.

At the highest of the road, the GTX 1080 can run 2,560 CUDA cores at 1733Mhz, with 8GB of GDDR5X memory. The GTX 1070 (designed to interchange the 980M) can run 2,048 CUDA cores at 1645Mhz with 8GB of GDDR5 memory, and therefore the GTX 1060 (designed to interchange the 970M) can run 1,280 CUDA cores at 1670Mhz with 6GB of GDDR5 memory. Nvidia's own benchmarks show spectacular reference performance between the notebook and desktop versions of the GTX 1080, GTX 1070, and GTX 1060  leaving the notebook version of the GTX 1080 performing higher. These latest GPUs offer a minimum of 150 % additional performance than the M chips they are exchanging.

Nvidias biggest talk is that these gpus are VR Ready if we look at the high-end with the GTX 1080 it looks normal, however once you get all the way down to the GTX 1060 things begin to induce a bit more murky. At Nvidia's event I got a chance to checkout out HTC's Vive with the GTX 1060 running on a laptop computer, and Nvidia was demonstrating its GTX 1060 VR expertise with a rather basic boxing game. At the upper scale, the games were a lot more cpu and gpu intensive, therefore the VR ready promise can clearly vary supported the title you would like to play on a GTX 1060. Nvidia's VR ready promise is additionally strictly restricted to AC power, since the corporate cannot guarantee it on battery alone.

Either way, this can be still a formidable step for Nvidia and notebooks generally. We've been waiting years for mobile to essentially begin catching up, and also the Pascal design may be a massive breakthrough. each major OEM and system builder can provide a Pascal-based notebook, together with Lenovo, EVGA, Alienware, Asus, MSI, HP, Acer, Razer, and more. What Pascal does not imply is that the end to giant gaming laptops, however it's definitely putting loads of power into an affordable type factor. Nvidia expects OEMs to make GTX 1060 notebooks that are as slim as 18mm and as light-weight as four pounds. that is the excellent kind size for something sort of a new 15-inch MacBook pro, however Nvidia did not drop any hints concerning Apple or perhaps Microsoft choosing its new chips.

OEMs also will be able to ship notebooks with 120Hz displays due to these GTX 1000 series GPUs, and manufactory overclocking (around ten percent) are going to be on the market instantly on the GTX 1080 and among a few of months on the GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 models. laptop computer manufacturers also will be able to produce insane SLI notebooks, with watercooling and altogether shapes and sizes. gaming notebooks and laptops with the GTX 1080, GTX 1070, and GTX 1060 will be available with these new gpus with different physical aspects shapes and specs, and expect to ascertain more updated models within the returning months as notebook manufacturers harden the vacation season.
