During the GeForce RTX: Game On event , NVIDIA presented its second generation of graphics processors for mobile gaming with Ray Tracing. Coming to over 70 notebook models worldwide, the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 Series Mobility GPUs with Ampere architecture bring the best of the American giant's latest technologies to the laptop sector. bolts.answerhop
Along with the 3000 Series notebook GPUs, NVIDIA has also
introduced new 3rd generation Max-Q technologies and optimizations , which take
full advantage of the potential and AI of the new Ampere video cards and allow
for a boostsignificant performance, able to improve performance without
sacrificing portability. The new gaming laptops developed in collaboration with
NVIDIA are in fact characterized also and above all by a smaller thickness than
in previous generations.
Dynamic Boost 2.0
Workload management, when it comes to graphics, is extremely
flexible. There are loads that impact the GPU more and others that require an
additional amount of work from the CPU. Although there are typical scenarios,
especially in laptops this enormous variability can be the cause of more or
less important bottlenecks. For this reason, NVIDIA has introduced the Dynamic
Boost mode within the Max-Q optimizations package, capable of implementing a
constant and automatic frame-by-frame balancing of the power delivery from the
CPU to the GPU.
Currently in its second iteration, this technology now takes
advantage of real Artificial Intelligence networksable to carry out a two-way
balance between CPU and GPU , therefore able to push even more on the CPU in
case of workloads particularly oriented towards this type of use.
To monitor this constant activity, you can use an NVIDIA
tool called FrameView , which can record the performance of Dynamic Boost and
provide an OSD with information about the energy balance.
Thanks to the data collected by NVIDIA itself, with the
implementation of this technology on compatible notebooks it is possible to
benefit from a performance boost in gaming greater than 10% and up to 16%,
sometimes even equal to 10 FPS on presets with high details.
WhisperMode 2.0
In mobile gaming, also and above all the silence of the
system becomes a key element . This technology, integrated differently in every
notebook with 3000 Series graphics, allows you to balance performance,
temperatures and therefore system noise in a totally customized way.
The implementation of this technology is the result of a
synchronized work between NVIDIA and partner manufacturers, as the thermal
design varies from laptop to laptop and it is not possible to guarantee an
identical experience on each machine. What this technology offers is instead a
room for maneuver for the player who can then, within the NVIDIA GeForce
Experience suite, activate it and balance the system based on the speed of the
fans and a preset FPS threshold , in order to decide , for example, to limit
the number of FPS and then keep the system at a custom quiet threshold, or set
a more balanced combination and maximize the number of FPS in play.
Resizable Bar
One of the most stimulating of the innovations introduced by
NVIDIA is Resizable BAR, a technology that could literally revolutionize the
way CPU and GPU communicate with each other .
Historically, while the GPU is busy rendering a frame, the
CPU is busy giving it instructions for subsequent scenes . Obviously the speed
but also the number of details to be created are so high that many instructions
are forced to queue, in a portion of the video card memory dedicated to this
type of information. With Resizable BAR technologythis approach is completely
subverted, giving the CPU full access to the entire GPU framebuffer, thus
allowing it to provide all the necessary instructions simultaneously without
necessarily making them wait. This technology is currently at the dawn of its
implementation therefore, as NVIDIA itself has repeatedly explained, currently
there are still few - but growing - titles able to fully exploit it.
DLSS
NVIDIA's Supersampling, the Deep Learning-based algorithm
that maximizes yield through AI , plays a crucial role when it comes to gaming
on the go. With a severely limited thermal and energy design compared to
desktop systems, next-generation laptops with active DLSS can get new life,
especially now that the standard is gradually shifting to 1440p.
DLSS alone, with Ray Tracing active, is estimated to be able
to improve performance and offer a framerate boost of up to 129% in some games,
depending on its implementation in the graphics engine and the optimization of
the game itself. The most incredible results the DLSS manages to offer them,
for example, onControl, Minecraft RTX and Watch Dogs: Legion .
But how does the algorithm studied by NVIDIA work? It is a
neural network capable of analyzing a frame or a scene in real time thanks to
the dedicated Tensor Cores , then performing a higher resolution upscaling and
generating the missing information from the lower resolution.
The final result, to the detriment of the visual rendering,
is visible above all with a very aggressive use of DLSS but with a fine
balance, very close to a scene produced with native resolution.
NVIDIA Studio
NVIDIA's 3000 Series Mobility is obviously designed to
deliver excellent performance even in professional use . The NVIDIA Studio
program aims to provide performance boosts in this sector too, thanks to the
NVIDIA Studio suite and technologies based on Artificial Intelligence.
In fact, in addition to GPUs, capable of providing
performance even fivefold compared to previous generations, NVIDIA offers a
software package capable of providing greater productivity, thanks to specific
drivers optimized for professional workloads. With NVIDIA Broadcast , streamers
can leverage AI to optimize incoming audio and video streams, with excellent
background noise reduction and many opportunities for background removal and
replacement without the need for greenscreen.
NVIDIA Texture Toolsinstead it is a tool for developers and
artists that allows for optimized texture compression using the GPU. Finally,
through GeForce Experience it is possible to access a series of extra features
such as high-resolution video-capture, currently available up to video in 8K at
30 FPS with active HDR.
