NVIDIA, without prior notice, publishes support for the NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti MaxQ, a graphics solution designed for ultrabook, which has the mission to compete with Intel processors that integrate AMD RX Vega M.

It seems that NVIDIA has been in a rush in recent weeks, especially after the alliance between Intel and AMD finally takes shape. This has caused NVIDAI to put the batteries and without a word or previous announcements, has launched or at least is about to launch the GTX 1050 Ti MaxQ, a graphics card intended for laptops. This has been known indirectly, thanks to the GeForce 384.11 drivers for Linux, which reveal that they have support for this special laptop product.

This graphics card is based on the GTX 1050 Ti, but with reduced frequencies, which lower performance and consequently consumption. They are graphics intended for small laptops, such as ultrabooks and with a long autonomy, which allow laptops to be taken further. This is very important, since it raises the possibility that many laptops, mini-PCs and All-in-One computers will have the new Intel processors that integrate AMD RX Vega M graphics and that promise to bring out NVIDIA of the game.

The GTX 1050 Ti MaxQ, will integrate 768 CUDA Cores with 48 TMU and 32 ROP, something that could offer about 2.2 TFLOPS, which should compete with the RX Vega M GL, which, according to Intel, give 40% more performance than the GTX 1050. These graphics are proposed as an alternative for the mid and low range. We must bear in mind that the RX Vega GH give 13% more performance than the GTX 1060 MaxQ, on paper, then, when they go on the market we will see if this data becomes real or not.
