NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs NVIDIA T600 vs NVIDIA Quadro T2000 (Laptop)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q

The Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q design is a power efficient mainstream GPU for laptops based on the Pascal architecture and was announced in January 2017. Contrary to the faster models, the GTX 1050 uses the GP107 chip, which is manufactured in a 14 nm process at Samsung.

The clock is not the only difference compared to the regular GTX 1050 Ti though. The drivers for the Max-Q version were optimized for efficiency (and not performance; only for Max-Q models), there are optimized voltage converters for 1V operation, high-end cooling methods, and a 40 dB limit for the fan noise (with clock adjustments to ensure this at all times).

Features

The GP107 chip is manufactured in a 14 nm FinFET process at Samsung and offers a number of new features, including support for DisplayPort 1.4 (ready), HDMI 2.0b, HDR, Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) as well as improved H.265 video de- and encoding (PlayReady 3.0). A full list of improvements and the new Pascal desktop GPUs is available in our dedicated Pascal architecture article.

Performance

The performance of the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti can vary quite a lot depending on the cooling performance of the laptop. Nvidia states that the Max-Q variant should be about 10 to 15% slower than a regular GTX 1050 Ti for laptops. Therefore, the GPU is most suited for Full HD and high quality settings for games of 2016.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q design is rated at 40 to 46 Watt and therefore a lot lower than a regular GTX 1050 Ti for laptops (53 Watt). This means that the Max-Q GTX 1050 Ti is also suited for thin and light laptops.

NVIDIA T600

► remove from comparison

The Nvidia T600 Desktop GPU is a professional graphics card for workstations that is based on the Turing architecture (TU117 chip). The desktop version only offers 640 of the 1024 cores and therefore also less than the T600 mobile (896 CUDA cores). The card offers 4 GB GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 bit bus (up to 160 GB/s bandwidth). The T600 supports certified drivers (former Quadro line) for professional applications like CAD, 3D modelling, DCC, medicine, or visualization applications.

The maximum power consumption of the card is rated at 40W.

NVIDIA Quadro T2000 (Laptop)

► remove from comparison

The Nvidia Quadro T2000 for laptops is a professional mobile graphics card that is based on the Turing architecture (TU117 chip). It is based on the consumer desktop GTX 1650 Ti with comparable clock speeds and therefore currently between a mobile GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti. The chip is manufactured in 12nm FinFET at TSMC.

The GPU features 1024 shaders, 64 texture mapping units and 32 ROPs. The 4 GB GDDR5 memory is connected with a 128-bit memory interface and clocked at 2000 MHz. At a TGP of 60W, the clock speeds are specified from 1575 MHz (base) to 1785 MHz (boost).

The Turing generation did not only introduce raytracing for the RTX cards, but also optimized the architecture of the cores and caches. According to Nvidia the CUDA cores offer now a concurrent execution of floating point and integer operations for increased performance in compute-heavy workloads of modern games. Furthermore, the caches were reworked (new unified memory architecture with twice the cache compared to Pascal). This leads to up to 50% more instructions per clock and a 40% more power efficient usage compared to Pascal. In contrary to the faster Quadro RTX cards (e.g. Quadro RTX 3000), the T1000 and T2000 don not feature raytracing and Tensor cores.
