Nvidia raises the curtain on its latest mobile GPUs

Nvidia raises the curtain on its latest mobile GPUs
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Hp laptop battery
Nvidia dropped its other GPU shoe today, taking the wraps off the mobile version of its “Big Maxwell” architecture, embodied in the GeForce GTX 970M and GeForce GTX 980M mobile graphics processors. The new parts have the same advanced feature set as the GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980 desktop GPUs that Nvidia announced on September 18.
We covered these new technologies—Voxel Global Illumination, Multi Frame Anti-aliasing, Dynamic Super Resolution—in some depth in our coverage of Nvidia’s new desktop processors. You can read that story here. Nvidia has also made significant improvements to the Battery with such as Hp DB946A battery, Hp HSTNN-DB13 battery, Hp HSTNN-Q09C battery, Hp BLP1199 battery, Hp Pavilion XT128 battery, Hp Pavilion XT2 battery, Hp Pavilion XT512 battery, Hp Pavilion ZE4100 battery, Hp OmniBook XE4400 battery, Hp OmniBook XE4500 battery, Hp Pavilion ZE5200 battery, Hp Pavilion ZE5600 batteryBoost power-management technology that’s unique to its mobile processors. I’ll have more on this later.
Perhaps more importantly, the new parts narrow the gap between laptop and desktop performance. In an embargoed briefing last week, Kaustubh Sanghani, Nvidia’s general manager of notebook GPUs, said “the GeForce GTX 980M can deliver 70 percent of the performance of its desktop counterpart.” Sanghani also said that “Maxwell delivers twice the performance per watt compared to Kepler.” Kepler is Nvidia’s previous-generation graphics architecture.
According to Nvidia, 75 percent of gamers play in multiple locations, whether that’s different rooms inside their home, at a friend’s house, or at a LAN party. More of these gamers would buy a gaming laptop over a desktop PC if they could get the same performance with games. Sanghani said the four new technologies in Nvidia’s Big Maxwell architecture, combined with Nvidia’s improved BatteryBoost technology, work to close the gap between playing games on a desktop and playing games on a laptop.

With BatteryBoost, gamers can click one button to optimize a game for running on battery power. A predefined profile automatically reduces some settings to ensure the laptop can deliver a good experience within its battery-power envelope. Picky gamers can open and tweak these predefined settings even further, trading frame rate for image quality and vice versa.
Between BatteryBoost and the improved efficiency of the Maxwell architecture compared to Kepler, Nvidia says a GeForce GTX 980 should be able to deliver an easy game like League of Legends at 150 frames per second on battery power, a mid-range game like Grid 2 at 85 fps, and a demanding game like Tomb Raider at 69 frames per second.
Enabling BatteryBoost will let you play games longer on battery power, too: League of Legends for 117 minutes, compared to 90 minutes without it; Grid 2 for 102 minutes, versus 79 minutes without it; and Tomb Raider for 76 minutes compared to just 49 minutes without it.
