Nvidia now requires its partners to list the Total Graphics Power (TGP) of gaming laptops as a crucial spec to help buyers make informed decisions.
TGP is vital as it determines the maximum power an Nvidia GPU can draw in laptops, affecting performance significantly.
Differences in TGP within the same GPU model can lead to varying benchmarks and performance results in gaming laptops.
Previously, distinguishing power-efficient (Max-Q) and performance-focused (Max-P) GPUs helped buyers, but these distinctions are no longer used.
Nvidia is addressing the issue of overlooked TGP in laptops by working with manufacturers to ensure it is listed in product specifications.
Despite improvements, some recent high-end laptops like Razer's do not disclose TGP, impacting buyer choices and pricing.
Understanding TGP, Dynamic Boost capabilities, clock speeds, and VRAM is crucial for buyers focused on gaming performance in laptops.
Nvidia's push for listing TGP and other critical specs on product websites aims to simplify laptop buying decisions, especially for gaming enthusiasts.
It is important for laptop manufacturers to provide clear and detailed specifications to help buyers choose the right gaming laptop.
Nvidia's efforts may lead to greater transparency in laptop specifications and empower buyers to make more informed decisions.
