For this, gamers should really thank Nvidia. The company obliged laptop manufacturers to provide details about video cards

The story of gaming laptops based on the latest GeForce video cards of the Ampere generation has ended in a surprising way.

Recall that in the case of new mobile PCs, video cards no longer have the Max-Q and Max-P markings, which complicates the choice for gamers, since the difference between different versions of the same 3D card can be huge. As it turned out, Nvidia recommends manufacturers to provide details on frequencies and TGP of mobile cards, just almost nobody does.

Apparently, the hype against this background on the Web seemed too strong to Nvidia, so the company decided to change its approach in favor of gamers. From now on, Nvidia does not recommend, namely, it requires laptop manufacturers to provide details about the new generation video cards. In particular, we are talking about frequencies and TGP (Total Graphics Power). True, the Max-Q marking will not return, because now it is not just an indicator of the power limit, but a set of technologies, which laptop manufacturers decide to implement or not. But still, the situation is now much more favorable for potential laptop buyers.

We require OEMs to update their product pages with the Max-Q technology features for each GeForce laptop, as well as the clock speeds and powers that report the expected GPU performance on that system.

A number of manufacturers have already met Nvidia’s requirement. For example, on the website of Asus and a number of other companies, all the necessary information really appeared.
