According to NVIDIA news, the latest 5th generation MAX-Q technology is now available, which will significantly improve efficiency and further enhance gaming performance.
Nvidia said that in 2017, Nvidia worked with OEM partners to develop a system design method that can provide high performance for thin and light gaming notebooks and Studio design notebooks. This technology is Max-Q. From the GPU architecture to the laptop layout and system architecture, to the core system and graphics software, NVIDIA has optimized every aspect for energy efficiency.
According to officials, Max-Q technology enables Nvidia’s partners to take efficiency to a whole new level when producing 14-inch RTX 40 series laptops. With each new GPU generation, Max-Q is enhanced by continuous innovation. Now, with the launch of its GeForce RTX 40-series laptops, Nvidia is introducing its fifth-generation Max-Q technology, which should dramatically improve efficiency and further boost gaming performance.
Ada high-efficiency on-chip memory enables GPU memory to be redesigned for greater power efficiency, double the bandwidth, increase capacity by more than 10 times, and improve frequency. Triple-Speed Memory Control enables the GPU to dynamically switch to new low-power memory states, improving energy efficiency when the system is idle or using lightly-intensive applications. Ultra-low-voltage GDDR6 memory improves GPU efficiency by integrating lower voltage memory than ever before.
In addition, NVIDIA DLSS 3 has incorporated many Max-Q technologies, including Whisper Mode intelligent noise reduction and Battery Boost, which can improve performance, increase battery life and reduce noise. These two features improve noise and battery life respectively and take advantage of DLSS 3 to further improve efficiency.
DLSS 3 leverages AI and Tensor Cores to reduce the amount of rendering required on the GPU and can increase frame rates by up to 4x when performance is not limited. When optimized with Whisper Mode intelligent noise reduction, power consumption plummets and efficiency increases, which in turn lowers system temperatures and fan speeds for a quieter experience for users. And when you’re running your computer on battery, Max-Q can help you game up to 2x longer.
According to Nvidia, over the past 6 years, Max-Q has increased the efficiency of laptops by 22 times, greatly improving users’ battery life and performance when plugged in.
