NVIDIA MX250 spotted - new entry-level video card for notebooks

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/18/2018 09:13 AM | source: videocardz | 4 comment(s)

HP outted a spec sheet mentioning a new level video card for notebooks, the MX250. The video card is paired with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory and actually would be the first Turing based architecture to not use GDDR6.

That said, it of course also is not a certainty that the MX250 is actually based on Turing. Currently, it is unknown when the MX250 becomes available, but CES 2019 will be a suitable time for the introduction of some new notebooks.

Nvidia would also be preparing the introduction of RTX for notebooks, including mobile variants of the RTX 2080, 2070 and 2060.

Re notebookcheck.net: According to our information it is just a renamed MX150 with maybe slightly increased clock speeds. Therefore, it is still based on the Pascal GP108 chip as the desktop GeForce GT 1030 with 384 shader cores and a 64 Bit memory bus. There will still be two versions, the normal 25 Watt version and a low power version with 10 Watt TDP and reduced performance.

I have never liked MX versions of nvidia GPUs. Dislike began with geforce 4 MX because of their crippled perf.

Well IMHO the MX150 is the best performance you can get on a thin ultrabook, while maintaining power consumption "low" (compared to AMD and other nVidia options), so for me the MX has been the best available option, not a crippled one. If anyone can tell me about a faster option for a 13-14 inch ultra-thin laptop that doesn't sound like a tornado and doesn't drain the battery in a blink of an eye... please be my guest.

Edit: and no, 1050 MaxQ isn't an option its power consumption is much higher.

I wouldn't mind a lower-clocked version for a device like the GPD WIN 3 or One Netbook etc.
