New RTX 2070 & 2060 Laptop Graphics Cards Get More Powerful!

The configurations of these graphics cards are optimized for best performance.

According to a new report, Nvidia has made a major update to its GeForce RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 mobile graphics cards.

The information comes from the German PC maker Schenker, who shared with the tech site Computer base data that Nvidia has tweaked the RTX 2070 and 2060 versions of laptops with faster memory and power optimization, but without any claims to that effect.

Of course, we have to take the manufacturer’s word for it, but it is obvious that the accelerated GPUs run on GDDR6 video memory, which operates at a voltage reduced to 1.25V instead of 1.35V. This promises lower power consumption, as well as a reduction in heat generation inside the laptop – this means that video cards will be able to work at higher clock speeds (although the cooling solution with which a portable machine is equipped depends on how fast a video card or any other component works).

While the TGP (overall graphics performance) of the 2070 remains unchanged with the new 115W GPU, the RTX 2060 has bumped up from 80W to 115W, promising significant potential gains. Provided, again, that the laptop manufacturer can accommodate the GPU and still keep the temperature under control with a reasonably efficient cooling system.

The codenames for these two RTX 2070 and 2060 models have been slightly changed, according to the report, although unless a specific laptop manufacturer provides the full model name, you simply won’t know if the laptop is using an older graphics card (which is slightly slower) or a newer one. an upgraded version.

Indeed, even if this is the latter, as already mentioned, there is no guarantee that in the case of the mobile RTX 2060, the manufacturer is using the GPU to its full 115W potential.

The new codenames are N18E-G1R for RTX 2070 mobile graphics (as opposed to the older N18E-G2) and N18E-G1-B for RTX 2060 (instead of N18E-G1).

In any case, as a result, you won’t know how much performance you are getting until you compare the performance of your computer (or look at reviews from other people who have already performed tests). Of course, this isn’t the first time shoppers have had to speculate to find out exactly what they’ll find under the hood of an Nvidia laptop.

Apparently, a spokesman for the Schenker company said that we should see benchmarks for these supposedly refreshed GPUs from April 15th, so in theory there won’t be long waiting around for the full story and related performance changes.

In case you missed the latest news, the highlight was the presentation of the GeForce RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2070 Super mobile graphics cards for laptops to keep pace with the changes in the desktop arena. Naturally, we’re talking about the overclocked versions of the RTX 2080 and 2070 here.

Here are the best gaming laptops.
