AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q
AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130
► remove from comparison
The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130 is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It was announced early 2017 and is intended for Kaby-Lake based professional notebooks. The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).
The WX4130 is based on the Polaris 11 or 12 chip and offers 640 shaders like the older AMD Radeon Pro 450 (entry level MacBook Pro 15 2016). However, the WX 4130 is clocked higher at 1053 versus 800 MHz. Therefore, the performance should be more similar to the Radeon Pro 455 (768 Shaders at 855 MHz). Due to the higher clock speed we suspect the newer Polaris 12 chip, that is manufactured in an improved 14nm (LPP+) process and allows the chip to be clocked higher.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q
► remove from comparison
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.
