This week Acer introduced a new gaming laptop Predator Triton 700, one of the key features of which is a very small thickness of the case - only 18.9 mm. The manufacturer did not say which video card was used in the novelty, but only presented data on its performance, which pushed our colleagues from NotebookCheck to very interesting conclusions.
According to Acer, the Predator Triton 700 laptop is much ahead of thin gaming laptops from other manufacturers, showing a result of 17,000 points in the 3DMark11 test. This is much less than the result of the GeForce GTX 1080, but higher than the GeForce GTX 1070. At the same time, Acer did not specify the name of the video card used in the novelty, and one of the possible reasons for this may be that this video card has not yet been officially introduced.
After our colleagues could get to know the laptop closer, they found out the name of the video card and the reason for its lagging behind the original model. The Predator Triton 700 notebook uses a GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card with all active CUDA cores, but with a much lower base clock frequency, which is 1290 MHz, compared to 1556 MHz for the original model. Journalists nicknamed this modification of the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q video card.
Due to lower frequencies, the new version of the mobile GeForce GTX 1080 will consume much less power. It is assumed that its TDP will be 110W compared to 165W for last year's version. All other characteristics of the video card should remain unchanged. By the way, besides the more economical version of GeForce GTX 1080, the updated GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q will be also released, which will be limited to 90 W, instead of 120 W. Probably, the new NVIDIA graphics cards will be presented
at the Computex exhibition in a month. Related Products :
