A few days ago we learned that laptops with GeForce RTX 3000 graphics cards will no longer be labeled Max-Q or Max-P. And we just saw how detrimental it can be for gamers. Recall that the RTX 3070 Max-P is 31% ahead of the RTX 3070 Max-Q! This is a catastrophic performance difference for those who want the most and get the least.
As it turned out, although the situation is really unpleasant, it will not be so in all cases. Nvidia has confirmed that it has indeed dropped the Max-Q label because it is no longer just an indication of the power limit, but a set of technologies that laptop manufacturers decide to implement or not.
However, Nvidia recommends that manufacturers indicate the exact TGP (Total Graphics Power) and GPU frequencies for next-generation adapters on their websites or documentation, which will allow gamers with a basic level of knowledge to choose the right laptop. Unfortunately, these are just recommendations, and it is already clear that many manufacturers have decided not to adhere to them.
The source checked the websites of MSI, Lenovo, Gigabyte, Asus and Razer – neither of these companies in any way stipulates which versions of RTX 3000 graphics cards are used in which notebooks.
But there are still exceptions. XGM on its website indicates everything: the Max-Q marking, and TGP, and even the presence of Dynamic Boost technology.
Unfortunately, this is probably one of the very few exceptions. And since most people still buy more eminent brands like Asus and MSI, there are clearly those who will not get what they expected.
